India is a foodie’s true blessing. There is no flavor, no palette, no culinary preference that this country’s delicacies cannot fulfill and satisfy. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh, each state has its own unique dishes, very different from just the adjacent ones. You will be surprised by what you can find at the next corner of the street, no matter where you go. And all of this at throwaway prices. It is said that it is possible for someone to survive in India for a meager amount of Rupees 150 a day. The following food dishes even challenge that as all of these can be found well under Rupees 50!
