We Indians love food. So we live a King's life when we get our paycheck or allowance at the end of the month. We treat ourselves (and most generously our friends) to the best that is available and end up spending eight parts out of ten of our money in the first two weeks. Then begins the struggle to find cheap meals twice a day. Worry not! Indians have the choicest variety of food available at unthinkable prices. Whether you are a cash strapped traveller who will scourge the city to find food at cheap prices or the broke student, you can find one of the following twenty meals in India which won't set you back for more than twenty bucks:

1. Maggi! @ Rs. 15/plate

Chhoti ya Badi-all kinds of hunger is satisfied by this one name in India. There is a lot of scope to explore different flavors and a customer is hardly ever disappointed with what is on the plate. Ranging from the summits of the Himalayas to the college canteens, one can rely on this dish even if one can spend only twenty rupees.

2. Momos @ Rs. 20/plate

These steamed dumplings have stormed the streets of the country. One can find vendors at tiny tables with hand made posters in the front declaring the assortment of momos they carry in the steamers. The deep red concoction of red chillies and spices that they pour on the side makes both the eyes and the mouth water.
