My rule of thumb is for street food in an unknown city - generally I stick with cooked stuff (unlike pani-puri etc. where chances of catching something with bad water are higher) and avoid any sort of dairy - sweet or savory. Fried / steamed / boiled / cooked seems to be safer :-)
Right I eased myself slowly into the street food. . I avoided pani puri at first too. I also stayed away from dahi bhalla and chaat papri at first. Since I had just finished a 5 day course of norflox, and had been immunised for hepatitis A and B, I figured I could take a chance. The hot food that's cooked or heated in your presence is generally OK.
