“Chai Garam, Garam Chai” How many of you remember this? The enticing voice of the Chai-Wala in a stopover station is one of the best memories of Train Travels in India for me.
Food and Train are tattooed in my brain as the ultimate adventure. The aroma of food in a closed railway coach together with the musical motion of the train made the journey magical.
Anyone who, traveled to Kolkata would remember the vegetable cutlets aka chops of Kharagpur Station. Pretty hard to resist! Paired with some Jhaalmoori, it’s an orgasmic blast to your food senses!
Sridham station near Jabalpur is popularly known as the Aloo Bonda station and needs no explanation as to why. A journey on the tracks of India is never complete without some unique food tales.
I don’t want to bring unnecessary dynamics of taste and hygiene into the topic. Everything tastes just out of the world kind of good on the train!
