In the Bylanes of Chatori Gali:Food Walk:Chandni Chowk


Greed is a bottomless pitcher, how hard we try to fill it,it will remain empty. Greed is never satiated, and same applies in case of savoring food delights. Give us a spicy tangy one, we will ask for bland and when provided that we demand for something sweet. Main question is how to get everything good at one place. Chandni chowk is literally bylanes of chatori gali, here average food is better than available in other markets.


Be it golgappas,dahi bhalla,rabri falooda , jalebi  or chole kulche and even daulat ram ki chat. Special food tours are also arranged in this area having stoppage at most of the famous shops. In college time, we used to have our own food walk in the name of getting books for next semester (Nayi Sarak).Chole Kulche at Nayi Sarak is one low fat option available here. Try Lotan ke chole kulche, which are considered the best. Moving on you will find a crowd outside a shop on the main road,having adjacent street going straight to Chandni chowk metro station .That shop is known as Natraj which serves the best creamy dahi bhalla with special black masala sprinkled on top of it in good amount.The curd is creamy,evenly thick textured and sweet.It also serves tasty aloo tikki too,which is fried crisp in desi ghee.At first look,it looks like only take away counter, but only few know that there is upstairs sitting place too, where you can have all the same delicacies in peace and give some rest to your legs.

Golgappas is one thing for which I didn’t find a specific shop/street vendor which sells awesome ones.Though one in the dingy bylanes of khari bawli, sells good ones.  If any one knows a specific awesome gol gappa vendor,do let me know.Here ,one can find a variety of chat which is not much available at other places. It is daulat ram ki chat ,a wiped froth sprinkled with jaggery .It is worth a try  and vendors  can be find in the corridors of main road.Another sweet dish,favourite of many is available here,which is jalebi.Shop which is famous for it has its name on it only:Jalebi wala at Dariba kalan.Jalebi here are quite thick, soft,fried in desi ghee and filled with sweetness. As soon as you put it in mouth, the sweet liquid oozes out.Another option for people having sweet tooth is rabri falooda at Gyani, Fatehpuri. It requires a good amount of walk to the end of the road to relish rabri falooda at gyan. Here you will find queues at every food joint. But a good experience to roam around and keep having different flavors n different treats.
