These mobile apps provide easy access to street food

Remember the 1990s Bollywood hit "Mai toh raste se ja rha tha, mai toh bhel puri kha rha tha" that had filmstar Govinda roaming the streets and satisfying his taste buds with some really mouth-watering dishes?

In 2018, you needn't roam any more. All the information about spicy snacks is available at your finger tips. Surprised? Come, let's explore!

Four years ago, Harsh Shah -- a young entrepreneur from Mumbai -- started working on an Indian street food finder app and came up with "Ek Plate" in August 2016. Being pocket-friendly, this app offers many items that can give you a sense of gastronomy like beach side pani puri, chatpati pav bhaji, tikha hara vada pav, garma-garam bhajjiya, khasta kachori and what not.

"I came up with this idea while studying in college. As a student on a tight budget, there were many apps that helped us find pricey restaurants, but nothing to show where we can get good budget-friendly food. Thus came Ek plate. If you really want to experience a city, you need to try its street food as that is where the real authentic flavours are", Shah told IANS in an email interview of his "only vegetarian" app.
