Street Food Safety Tips for Travellers in India
Namaste Foodie Explorers! India ka street food – chahe chaat ho, golgappe ho ya tandoori momo – sab kuch flavorful hota hai. Lekin ek safe traveller banna equally important hai. Is post mein hum batayenge kuch simple aur effective tips jisse aap street food ka maza le sakein bina health risk ke.
---🔍 1. Always Choose Busy & Clean Stalls
- Jahan bheed hoti hai, wahan high food turnover hota hai — matlab zyada fresh food
- Clean counters, gloves, aur hair net jaisa hygiene follow ho raha ho toh aur achha
🔥 2. Go for Cooked & Hot Items
- Freshly prepared & steaming hot food is usually safer than pre-cut salads or chutneys
- Examples: Poha, Chole Bhature, Aloo Tikki, Dosa, Egg Roll
🥤 3. Avoid Tap Water & Cut Fruits
- Street drinks ya golgappa ka pani agar bottled ya RO water se nahi bana, toh avoid karein
- Pre-cut fruits open environment mein bacteria catch kar lete hain
🧴 4. Carry These Essentials:
- Hand sanitizer
- Tissues or wet wipes
- ORS powder sachets (for backup hydration)
⏰ 5. Avoid Late-Night Street Food (After 10 PM)
- Late night food mostly reheated ya left-over hota hai
- Try karein 6pm–9pm ke beech mein khana lena
📱 6. Use Zomato/Google Reviews to Verify Hygiene
- Reviews padhen aur photos dekhen — agar log safai ya freshness ki tareef kar rahe hain, toh green signal
👀 7. Observe How They Handle Food
- Agar vendor same haath se paise aur food handle kar raha hai, avoid karein
- Gloves + tongs = better hygiene
🥤 Bonus Tip: Prefer Tea & Coffee in Kulhad
- Kulhad (earthen cups) are hygienic & eco-friendly
- Avoid reused plastic or glass cups on roadside
🎯 Conclusion
Street food ke bina India ka travel adhoora lagta hai, lekin thoda awareness aur smart decision-making se aap ek foodie traveller ke saath ek healthy traveller bhi ban sakte hain. Toh chaliye, golgappe khayein – lekin akal ke saath!
