Mumbai, India
6 dishes to eat in Mumbai, what is in them, and where they belong.
A spiced potato fritter in a bun with dry garlic chutney. The city's defining street food and among its cheapest meals.
White bread, boiled potato, beetroot, cucumber and green chutney, pressed or not. Sold from carts outside every office.
Mashed spiced vegetables cooked down on a griddle with an indecent amount of butter, served with soft rolls.
Puffed rice, sev, onion, tamarind and coriander, assembled to order and eaten immediately before it softens.
Lentils and mutton cooked with a distinct spice blend, traditionally a Sunday dish in Parsi households.
Bombil, pomfret and prawns cooked the way the city's fishing community does — with kokum and coconut rather than cream.
