Traveling from a western country to an eastern country can be exciting as well as intimidating for some. The main things that scare most people when visiting developing countries are water and food, which is prepared from water. Traveling to India is an amazing experience for everyone unless you are sick or fall victim to touts. Let us take care of the food aspect of your holiday while we prepare the next blog to take care of the tout’s part.
Eat fresh
The best thing about Indian food is that you can find freshly cooked food everywhere in the country. No one will serve you stale tea, the only reason why Indians do not accept pre-cooked food. Take advantage of this fact, and ask for fresh food, even if someone tries to serve you something cooked a few hours before it is served.
Eat vegetarian food
The rest of the world may swear by non-vegetarian food, but when you are in India, you may not feel like becoming a vegetarian for a while. The most delicious vegetarian dishes are found in India. Some of them are Paneer Butter Masala, Masala Dosa, Chini Mirch. If you are in Chandigarh, you will find the best vegetarian food from all over the country, and the best non-vegetarian ones as well. If you want to try authentic Punjabi chicken, mutton, and fish dishes, consider visiting Chandigarh, especially Sector-17 Market. Small takeaway outlets also serve great food in Sector-42 Chandigarh.
Pure water
Buy only sealed water bottles from brands like Bisleri, Foster, Kinley, and Aquafina for drinking water. You should never drink water from taps installed at different places in different cities, which is basically done for charity for the poor.
Drink coconut water
For just Rs 50-70, you can get an amazing serving of fresh coconut water. It’s great for making your stomach happy, no matter how spicy you ate last night.
Have a cup of tea
Since tea is boiled thoroughly before serving, you can also buy it from small vendors. Ask your vendor to add ginger or cardamom to the tea so that you can digest whatever you’ve eaten before.
If you have a sensitive body, you should take more care of it than your country. Traveling in Chandigarh is indeed a life-changing experience, and you should be positive while traveling instead of looking at everything with suspicion.
