Russian vlogger Mariia Chugurova recently tried a famous Indian street candy called ‘lachi’ and she made all of us nostalgic with her post! In the video, she is seen trying a chicken-shaped lachi that she got from a street vendor. She seemed to enjoy the sugary treat and her video made us miss some of our favourite candies from childhood. So, we listed 10 such candies we miss and wish to try again!
Russian Vlogger Tries Lachi, The Popular Indian Street Candy
Russian vlogger Mariia Chugurova has been in India for a while. On her social media, she is seen exploring various places and food in the country and her recent post took us down memory lane! She tried lachi, a famous Indian street candy that is usually moulded and served in fun shapes.
In the video, you can see that she spotted a street vendor and asked him what he was selling. At first glance, she did not guess that he was selling candy. The vendor then moulded the lachi into a chicken shape and served it to her. Mariia found the taste of the sugary candy to be “minty” and ended up buying three more. She gave one of them to a little girl and one to a policeman!
