>>29096629the explanation for this is multifold. first the indians didn't have a concept of street food until the brits brought it with them. They adapted it poorly. second pajeets like to mimic things that they consider interesting so having seen western fast food like mcdonalds slap together a slop meal in a few seconds this is what they came up with.
the bread and "juice" you see in some images is day/week old bread. the stale bread is bought for fractions of a rupee per pound and the juice you see is usually vegetable stock with curry powder.
the goo drinks are aloe and citrus. Prepared by a non retard the texture is a hurdle to get over but they taste like melted sherbet ice-cream
the pounds and pounds of spices you see constantly is a result of "back then we only used a little for a lot of flavor so a lot must be super flavor". Early indian food used retardedly potent spices by the pinch. You would get a dish of some kind of beans and a pinkie nail dash worth of spice and it nearly overwhelmed the dish.
some of these foods when prepared in an actual restaurant (usually one with non-indian cooks) are pretty good.
the average jeet food slinger is like a toddler mimicking what he saw adults do but with mud, dog shit, water and grass clippings.
also if you ever go there don't ever eat the street food. sometimes in the tourist areas the food is intentionally designed to make you sick so you see a local "doctor". The doctor will give you a bead of crushed whatever the fuck he could find. If you want to eat there then look for a restaurant with english text, uniformly dressed staff and a sign that has X's over some people. It means certain castes aren't allowed inside.
