Delicious Delhi Belly

As part of my higher education... I did my post graduate (MBA-Ecommerce) from university school of management studies, kashmere gate. The best part of the institute is its close proximity to chandni chowk. During those 2 years of education, I definitely tasted the food from all sorts of places.

Our most favourite drink during all seasons - was Sweet Lassi (drink made from plain yoghurt, with sugar). A shop named "makhan halwai" was just a stone throw away from main gate of university campus. He would serve Lassi in earthen glasses...which trippled the taste. The size of glass would be so huge that it will fill up stomach of even the fat-man.

Another favourite food item for summers would be - rabri faluda being sold in Chandni Chowk. One shop in particular - on Fountain Chowk,just near to the main Car parking. He makes it as a glass full of crushed ice, with multiple flavours; & lots of thick faluda - full of real malai. Yummmm. That kind of faluda is hard to find outside of Chandni Chowk.

Lunch Time @ Chandni Chowk
Are you at Chandni Chowk during lunch Time? U sure won't be thinking of where to go. What other place to go than paranthe wail gali. The Food there with authentic mughlai flavour, no artificial colors or essence, pure spices, full of aroma, dripping in oil. Varied types on stuffed paranthas & nans, fresh made in front of you....served extremely hot. One portion sufficient for 1.5 people.

Our favorite place for lunch used to be "kake da dhaba". Familiar common name, but unfamiliar style. Indian styled. The serving staff there know that, 1 nan is sufficient for one person. If some orders 2 initially, they will still get one only. Then after lunch... Have a glass of shake from Giani's original shop, just next to kake dhaba.

How much I miss those places!! Am sure gonna visit them, at first chance.
