I miss the days when I could stop by a roadside stall, and indulge in a plate of pain puri, without paying much heed to consequences. You know, simpler days when the smell of freshly made chaat would waft past as I walked, and I'd invariably change directions to grab a bite. But now, along with everything else that the pandemic has altered, my relationship with street food in the city, is at a crossroads. I don't know when the next time will come, that I'll be able to hold on to those tin foil plates laden with spicy preparations and topped with pudina chutney. And the anticipation keeps me up at nights.

So what do you do when the possibility of something like getting safe access to street food, is so uncertain? You create your own possibility. Of course, there's some incomparable magic in the street food of your favourite city stall. But think about it this way, if you make and have some at home, not only are you satisfying your cravings at least partly, but you also don't need to worry about severe heartburn the next day. Homemade is healthy, homemade is safe, and more often than not, homemade can be a lot tastier than we're led to believe.

So for starters, we are here with 5 homemade Tikki recipes with a twist, that are easy to make, and easier to gobble up.
