Ollie’s Spice Route diary entry #1 ✍️

🇮🇳 𝓑𝓸𝓶𝓫𝓪𝔂, 𝓘𝓷𝓭𝓲𝓪

The Dish: Bombay Spiced Fries

The energy of Bombay is incredible, and the street food is absolutely brilliant in its
simplicity! We noticed almost every stall serving up quick, hot snacks to busy locals.

We stopped by a street vendor who took hot, crispy fries and tossed them in a beautiful, warm blend of garam masala, cumin, and sea salt. They were drizzled with a curried mayo and topped with finely chopped red onions and fresh coriander. It is crunchy, punchy, and utterly addictive. I knew right away this would make the ultimate special for the board back at Cromwells!
