His adventure began in the lush fields of Punjab amidst the heavy smell of fresh spices roasting for dal makhani. He found out that Punjabi food is all about strong ingredients and a lot of dairy products. Going east, he delved into Bengali cuisine with its delicate flavors of fish and mustard. Each state from Kerala\u2019s coconut stew to Rajasthan\u2019s heavy meat dishes had its cooking secret which unfolded as he traveled across the country.

Street Food Adventures<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#0D0D0D;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:11pt\">On <strong>Akshay Mehndiratta\u2019s<\/strong> next culinary escapade, he went deeper into the vibrant world of Indian street food. The streets were dominated by vada pav in Mumbai: a spicy potato fritter clad in a soft bun that was topped with tangy chutneys for that extra flavor. Every city had its own choice: Kolkata\u2019s puchkas, Hyderabad&#8217;s mirchi bhajis, Delhi&#8217;s famous chaat, etc.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@akshaymehndiratta168\/most-popular-and-best-dishes-in-india-by-akshay-mehndiratta-that-you-must-try-c3f47dc0c1f9\"><span style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:11pt\"><strong>Akshay Mehndiratta<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#0D0D0D;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:11pt\"> described these tastes thus showing what street life in India was like as each corner offered you an experience of her ever-changing urban palate<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:18pt 0cm 6pt\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16pt\"><strong>3.

That diversity took care of the variety of smoked paneer tikka from the north to the cooling days in the south. For example, he spent much time with local chefs who taught him how to cook Kashmiri dum aloo and Gujarati dhokla. His detailed blogs on these vegetarian dishes not only taught his readers about the huge range of Indian vegetarian cuisine but also inspired many people to become vegan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:18pt 0cm 6pt\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16pt\"><strong>4.
