Indian street food is fascinating. From juicy corn coated with masala to icy chuski in a variety of sweet and tangy flavours, there are several fun Indian street foods you can enjoy right under your house. Vendors carry these snacks on a cycle, cart or rolled up on a stick that is rested on their shoulder. One such interesting street food item that will remind you of your childhood is ‘lachi’. Recently, popular Russian vlogger Mariia Chugurova, posted a video on her Instagram handle, in which she tries this sweet and artistic Indian candy for the first time. The candy was moulded into fun shapes by the vendor, such as a chicken and a flower.
The vlogger was fascinated with the little chicken shape of the candy. She noticed that the flavour was quite “minty” and bought several candies from the vendor, distributing them to children and even handing one out to a policeman. “Happy police, happy people,” she says.
