This amazing Street Food can’t be breat! Chandni Chowk, a hub of whole sale business in Old Delhi but also known for the food – the street food, the kebabs, the chaats, the kheers, the sandwiches, chole 7 bhature, bedmi puris – the list is endless!
Here is a little clip from the time I tried Daulat Ki Chaat, a sweet Milk Souffle. It is sold only during the winter months as it cannot hold up to the Delhi heat. So next time you get an opportunity, give it a try and be prepared to be amazed.
In some of the other regions in India, it goes by different names such as Makhan Malai, Nimish or Maleiyo. Enjoy!
Kale has recently come to finally get it’s dues as a very healthy leafy vegetable. It is very high in fiber and low in calories, contains many vitamins.
