By Amit Shukla
Money is always on your mind no matter if you’re in your country or travelling somewhere else. If you are travelling to India, Delhi in particular, and want to eat healthy, you can still enjoy great meals at cost-effective prices.
There is nothing like saving money, especially during the pandemic. And if you are in Delhi and wish to save money while enjoying lip-smacking food, then these are great cost saving measures. Traveling to Delhi doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy five meals under 100 rupees.
Daliya at the back gate of ECE House
A roadside shop that gives you the option to enjoy Daliya (broken wheat) at just 10 rupees is a delight for anyone trying to save money. It is healthy for all and is bliss on the wallet. And we still have 90 rupees at our disposal. The shop offers a corn variant and a Poha (Beaten Rice), too.
Desi Chaas
Chaas (Buttermilk) is a great thing to slurp if you want to drink something that aids your digestive system and also hydrates at the same time. Found anywhere on Delhi streets, it is a replacement for soda products or any soft drink. Soda and other carbonated products damage your body because of various ingredients in them. On average, Chaas costs about 10 Rupees.
Chole Bhature
Chole Bhature is a food item in Delhi, and it is mostly available roadside. It consists of C=chole (Chickpea) cooked with various herbs to bring across a different taste and add to the appetite. Bhature is a sourdough bread served as a meal cooked in oil that appeases the taste buds and fills your stomach. It usually costs 20 Rupees roadside, but at a quality spot, it costs 50 Rupees.
Samosa and Chai
Delhi has various places that serve four samosas for 10 rupees. The samosas are small and filled with spiced potatoes, onions, peas, cheese, and lentils. The filling inside the samosa may vary, but one thing every Indian loves is a cup of Chai (Tea).
One can only imagine the combination when you have a tasty samosa in one hand while the steam rises out. Then, you have a cup of tea costing 10 Rupees in the other hand that gives you the feeling of eternal bliss.
Delhi Sweets
No meal can be complete if it doesn’t have something sweet at the end. Delhi has many roadside shops that offer a range of tasty sweets for just 10 rupees. Seeing them would make your mouth water, and the sweetness will stay with you even after you end your trip.
Now, that’s a 100 Indian Rupee well spent, and you didn’t even break the bank. Remember, it’s the food that matters. In addition to being delicious, it rejuvenates the soul and relaxes the mind.
