Momos, noodles, and tea are some of the most popular and accessible roadside foods in India. These items are also frequently subject to experimental ingredient upgrades. For example, momos are traditionally filled with a mixture of ground meat, vegetables, and spices. However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend of experimenting with new momo fillings, such as paneer, cheese, and even chocolate.

Similarly, noodles are typically made with wheat flour, but there are now a wide variety of noodle dishes available made with different flours, such as rice flour, buckwheat flour, and even quinoa flour. Tea is also a popular beverage in India, and there are many different types of tea available, each with its own unique flavour profile. In recent years, there has been a growing trend of experimenting with new tea flavours, such as masala chai, ginger chai, lemon chai, and also tandoori chai.

The popularity of these roadside foods and the willingness of customers to try new things have led to a number of experimental upgrades in their ingredients. This has resulted in a wider variety of momos, noodles, and tea dishes available to consumers.
