The
overwhelmingly
bustling
Chandni
Chowk
in
Old
Delhi
is
every
traveller's
delight.
Paranthe
Wali
Gali
is
one
of
the
most
famous
streets
of
Chandni
Chowk
running
parallel
to
Dariba
Kalan
-
the
bazaar
famous
for
its
silverware.
This
street
or
Gali
is
a
foodie's
paradise,
and
as
the
name
suggests,
it
means
'The
Parantha
Street'
where
one
can
be
assured
of
the
best
variety
of
paranthas
or
the
Indian
flatbread.
However,
paranthas
are
not
the
only
food
items
that
make
Paranthe
Wali
Gali
so
popular.
The
paranthas
sold
at
these
shops
are
unique
and
very
different
from
the
traditional
Punjabi
paranthas
that
are
usually
stuffed
and
then
roasted
on
the
flat
'Tawa'
(flat
dripping
pan)
partially
cooking
them
with
oil
and
finishing
off
the
crisp
parantha
by
smearing
it
with
the
desi
ghee.
However,
the
paranthas
at
Gali
Paranthe
Wali
are
a
mix
of
the
traditional
Punjabi
parantha
and
the
Bedmi
poori
(deep-fried
stuffed
Indian
bread),
which
is
cooked
not
on
the
Tawa but
deep-fried
in
a
'kadhai'
(wok-like
pot).
It
is
served
with
spicy
potato
sabzi
or
curry
and
tamarind-banana
chutney.
It
is
not
without
anything
that
Chandni
Chowk
is
considered
to
be
a
foodie's
paradise.
Its
eateries
are
legendary
because
they
follow
age-old
recipes
and
stick
to
the
tradition
that
leads
to
taste
and
flavours
that
are
unmatchable.
A
trip
to
Paranthe
Wali
Gali
is
an
experience
in
itself,
multi-sensory
and
fascinating.
Jostling
through
the
rush
and
managing
to
pass
through
the
crowded
streets,
awaiting
your
turn
to
get
a
plate
of
yumminess
and
finding
a
place
to
sit
all
make
up
for
the
hectic
but
truly
enjoyable
experience
of
food
travel
to
Chandni
Chowk.
So
what
are
you
waiting
for?
Spare
a
Sunday
to
head
to
the
Paranthewali
Gali
to
enjoy
food,
history
and
hospitality
in
a
single,
pocket-friendly
adventure!
