Suman Nagar Street Food?

You're overthinking the spice a bit. Most Suman Nagar vendors will ask "kam mirchi?" if you look like you're struggling anyway. Start at the chai stall on the corner of the main chowk, they have a good samosa that's mostly potato and not drenched in anything scary. For a proper meal without the fire, the bhel puri from the cart near the pharmacy has a nice sweet-tangy balance and you can actually taste the puffed rice instead of just chili.

The stall run by the uncle near the Suman Nagar bus stop is known for making a mean vada pav with a green chutney that's more tangy than fiery. You can also try the sabudana vada there, it's fried and crunchy but completely mild, almost like a blank canvas for the sweet chutney they serve on the side. For something like misal pav without the heat, look for the stall selling "pav bhaji" on the main road, it's always buttery and rich with vegetable gravy that won't send you running.

i actually think the best move is to hit the idli stall near the municipal school around 7pm. they make these super soft idlis with a coconut chutney that's barely spicy, and the sambar is more lentil-heavy than chili-heavy. it's a good way to get a feel for the area's flavors without committing to a full-on spice challenge. also, if u want something fried but mild, the batata vada from the guy on the footpath opposite the fruit market is just potato and turmeric, no green chili hiding inside

have u tried the chor bazaar route? not for selling to shops but the friday morning flea guys near mumbadevi, some of them buy vintage/retro pieces outright and pay better than the bale walas if ur stuff has any character. got 800 for a bunch of old levi's and band tees there. thing is u gotta go early like 6am and know how to hold ur ground, they smell desperation instantly

one thing nobody mentioned, watch out for the weight vs piece thing. kabadiwalas and bale buyers pay by kilo so heavy stuff like denim and woolens actually earn more than fancy light stuff. i cleared a whole bag of old jeans to a guy in Malad for way better than what my branded shirts fetched. also wash everything before u show it, sounds obvious but dusty clothes get lowballed on sight.

honestly the timing matters more than the platform. end of month is when people get salary and actually buy, so list ur stuff around the 1st or 2nd. also post pics in natural light near a window, not on ur bed with flash, makes a huge difference on OLX and insta thrift pages. i've flipped a lot of my old stuff this way and the same kurta that got ignored at 300 sold for 500 when i relisted it properly.
