Mumbaikars love their street food and the beauty of the city being a melting pot of cultures automatically means there is every kind of street food. From the local vada pav to the samosa, along with jalebis and even dabeli pav, but not without its south Indian delicacies. With a rich history of South Indian food in the city, medu vadas have become a preferred breakfast or snack item that often turns into a meal too for many people in the city. 

The Union Health Ministry highlighted the need for people to pay attention to their health and nutrition in street foods like samosas and jalebis some time ago, but many people did not like it. While the access to these snacks is one reason, their love for them is another, but ask Mumbai dietitians about their health quotient, and there’s more to street food than meets the eye, and you it may just be reason you have to consider the health advisory and take it with a pinch of salt. 

While the dietitians said samosas, vada pavs, and even jalebis are not particularly healthy, they highlight what you didn’t know about medu vadas.
