Video: Russian Influencer Tries Roadside Idli Sambar In Mumbai, Calls It "Culinary Awakening"

The influencer encouraged her followers to visit the street vendor and experience what she described as the "best idli" in Mumbai.

Indian streets are truly fascinating, especially when it comes to food. As you wander around, you'll encounter a variety of unique vendors whose selling style or delicious food often leaves a lasting impression. Now, a popular Russian influencer exploring Mumbai streets recently shared her reaction after trying idli sambar at a street stall. Mariia Chugurova, who currently lives in Goa, took to Instagram to share a video of her trying the South Indian cuisine on the streets of Mumbai. "Russian kudi found idli queen!" she wrote in the caption of her post. 

Ms Chugurova's video opens to show her visiting the local street vendor selling idli sambar and vada sambar on a bicycle. She approaches the lady and asks for a plate of idli vada, and after tasting the dish, she reveals that her perception of idlis, a dish she once considered bland, completely changed. 

Sharing the video on Instagram, Ms Chugurova wrote, "You, a self-proclaimed non-Idli enthusiast, standing face-to-face with the Idli Queen herself - a wonderful lady with a magical touch in the kitchen. You decide to take a leap of faith and order a plate of those fluffy, steaming Idlis, secretly hoping this experience might just change your taste buds' minds."
