In the latest episode of Tere Gully Mein, finance met food and took the streets of Surat by storm! To give our Editor-in-Chief Kamiya Jani a taste of Surat’s crazy street food, finance influencer Anushka Rathod took her for a food trail around the city, and here’s how it went down.
Exploring Surat’s Street Food With Finance Influencer Anushka Rathod
“Surat nu jaman, Kashi nu maran”–this famous saying means that if you eat in Surat and die in Kashi, then you have lived a good life, and this is how famous finance influencer Anushka Rathod introduced the city to Kamiya Jani. The city is known for its food, especially its unique fusion dishes, and Anushka took us around Old Surat to experience it in all its glory!
The duo found common ground on their love for food, and Kamiya asked if anyone from Burma had ever visited and tried Surat’s famous khawsa–the Burmese dish with a Surti twist? “Bechaare woh aaenge, South India se bhi koi aayega aur dekhega ki hum dosa ke sath kya karte hai, hume ande ke sath kya karte hai–everyone will be shell-shocked,” Anushka Rathod laughingly replied.
Anushka identifies herself as khichdi because while her father is originally from Rajasthan, she was born in Mumbai, and her upbringing has been majorly in Surat! She also shared that she was so used to the sweetness in her food that when she went out for college, she was shocked to realise that not everything has sugar in it! “Agar humare ghar mehman aate hai and we don’t serve them mithai first, so they say ki khatidari main kaami reh gayi!” she shared.
All The Amazing Places The Duo Explored In The City
Our food trail with Anushka Rathod started at Lijjat Khawsa Centre, and we tried out the famous and unique khawsa there. Of course, the local speciality ‘Sosyo’ was also on the list, and according to Kamiya, it was way better than any other colas out there! While we were heading to our next destination, Anushka Rathod talked about how crazy the traffic in Surat can be, and if one can navigate around this city, then they can drive anywhere in the world!
Our next stop was Rekhaben’s Namkeen, and we got to know about the brand’s humble beginnings and expansion. They then tried locho at Janni Locho House and Shreeji Locho House. The duo then headed to A1 Cold Coco for some uniquely prepared cold cocoa. Our final stop was at Sai Bhajiya Centre, and we enjoyed the famous tamatar bhajiya and other bhajiyas there as well.
