Papdi Chat

At the Corner of the street, 3 men are standing with their handcart. All of them are having all types of Chat. They do all preparation, and when we want to eat, we just go to them and ask for our favorite chat.

When I was doing my Graduation Degree, next to my hostel, was a street and on that street, there was a row of people, who are standing with their Handcart and are selling all types of chat and Gol-Gappe.
