STREET FOODS:
Dahibara Aloodum: As the name aptly suggests, its just the mix of dahi-bara with aloodum, along with onion, ginger, raw mangoes, light mixture mix. They all tend to lend taste and believe me, a full plate is more than filling for even the heaviest eaters.
Fish fry: This particular delicacy is most available at Puri beach during evenings, if you are a seafood lover, having fresh caught fried fishes is a must.
Chicken Pakoda: This is not a special delicacy to be mentioned but at certain places, a plate of this little fried chickens is very good and filling.
Rolls: Rolls are made differently here. Where the world is drooling towards Kathi rolls, here the paratha that make the roll is not thin, this helps the chicken to stay in without being soggy. Try the egg chicken, egg mutton, double egg double chicken or mutton combinations and your taste buds will be happy.
SWEETS:
Rasgulla: Not to be confused with Rosogolla from WB, the Rasgulla from pahala is a much sought after delicacy and the light brown texture that melts in your mouth makes life worth living.
Chenna Jhilli: The name might sound different but the taste is heavenly, its basically fried paneer dipped in sugar syrup. These totally melt in your mouth.
Rabdi/sara: Again rabdi is not a special delicacy but is made differently here. Sara is local name for the Malai found over milk. Its good for people who are diabetic and don't want to try the sugary rabdi.
Malpua: This is pancake style sweet which if taken with Dalma (dal with veggies) is filling and delicious to the core.
MEALS:
Pakhala: This food is very much staple during summers for general populace here. This is basically water rice, the water has mix of curd, kari leaves, raw mango, ginger and some other items. This cools your stomach. Temp during summers cross 42+ with ease. This is one food which will keep you cool and help you avoid sunstroke.
Lord Jagannath abhada: Having abhada is fulfilling and is very tasty. Its the bhog that has been given to lord Jagannath in puri, he is the presiding deity of entire Odisha.
