What are the best street foods you have tasted in India and where?

People have written lots of food items here. Most of them are very popularly known in larger cities. Here are some food items from the lesser known places :

1. Khajas from Puri : You get them on the roadsides in Puri, Orissa and they taste absolutely great especially when they are hot and succulent with the sugary juices. A sweet item you must not miss out on.

2. Alur Chop: You could call them Cutlets or whatever but if you are on the street of Kolkata especially in the office areas, this is one absolutely amazing street food you should totally try.

3. Baraf ka Gola : Ahh! Every school kid's favourite food right after getting off from school. From children to the elderly, noone can resist those colorful and delicious flavoured ice candies. You get them all across India

4. Rolls : Definitely, Kolkata is known for its street food much because of its rolls of chicken or mutton or egg. Or you could choose your combination. They are wrapped with onions, spices snd sometimes sauteed potatoes. Absolutely delicious
