Street food captures the heart and soul of any city.. isn’t it ? They are always famous irrespective of age and is enjoyed by one and all. Every city has its signature street food and Bangalore is no exceptional. Here you’ll find some unusual chaats which are popular in Karnataka but not known to many outside. Those who have been to Bangalore can vouch for a bhelpuri stall in every street corner. These stalls have varieties of snacks like, tomato masala, bele masala, pineapple masala, nippat masala, sovthekayi masala, baby corn masala…etc etc. I would like to introduce you to Nipattu masala chaat today which is crunchy, spicy, savory and has a tangy taste.
