It would be an understatement to say that current times have been especially tough for street food vendors, most who manage to earn barely enough for the day without much of a safety net to fall back upon. Against this backdrop, we were moved to hear of the struggles of a young engineering student who almost single handedly, with his mother, embarked upon a street cart venture to rescue his father and family from a crippling financial setback. And in the course of doing so, reconnected his father with a delicious North Karnataka snack tradition. In this street food episode, I stop by at Chitradurga Girmit Mandakki Centre to meet Ullas Basavaraju and his father, and also taste the Chitradurga mirchi in a scrumptiously delicious spicy avatar, some girmit mandakki masala and a rather intriguingly named ‘operation bajji’! Hope you enjoy this inspiring story; please spare a moment for eateries like these, and do your best to support them. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!
