There’s something about the roadside dhabas that make even simple food taste out of the world. Let’s admit, we look forward to stopping by the highway dhabas to enjoy these delicacies, during our road trips. Be it a simple dal tadka or a humble bowl of mixed veg – every dish offers a special taste that no home-made food can offer. Although we do not know what the secret is, we try every combination to replicate the flavours, aroma and texture. While some succeed with flying colours, others leave room for improvement.
