Dabeli

On the third day of the blogging marathon,I chose to do Indian street food.  Just those words make me drool !!!!!! I make sure to eat street foods as many times as I can with my brother,cousins and friends during my trips to India. For me dabeli will always be associated with my friend Sahil's home. I would ask his mom to make it for me everytime I visited his place and she would. After they left Hyderabad, I never got my fix of dabeli till my in-laws moved to Gujarat for 2 yrs and then again at my friend P's house here in the US. I just wish I had a better picture to show u guys.
