Not all Indian street food is unhygienic! Look for busy vendors with high turnover and you'll likely find clean, delicious treats. Trust your gut, literally!
Hot take: Indian street food isn't any less hygienic than street food anywhere else. Blame perception, not reality.
Having tried lots of Indian street food myself, I've found that sticking to places locals frequent usually means better hygiene. Locals know best!
