Street Food Carpaccio

[printfriendly]
In the hustle and bustle of street food markets, there’s a magic that happens when flavours and textures come together in perfect harmony. It’s in this spirit that I present to you my take on Street Food Carpaccio. Imagine tender slices of beef fillet, their delicate texture enhanced by the zest of fresh lemon. Pair that with a silky carrot and date puree, rich with the warmth of cumin, and a crunchy Corn Flakes chevda chaat that dances with spices. Each bite will tell a culinary story.
