Parathewale gali - Delhi


Any trip to Delhi is incomplete without travelling to Chadni Chowk and its famous 'Parathe wali gali'. This is a trip of pure gastronomic delight..(of course one has to turn a blind eye to all those calories sometimes)...anyways, tucked into a small narrow lane in Chandni Chowk is the place of Parathas...the variety here is pretty amazing considering that its just the common parathas that are turned into so many avtaars...


Here, you find the fare from the ubiquitous Aloo paratha to Meethi paratha, Gajar paratha, Gobi paratha, Paneer paratha, Mixed paratha...etc...etc to the more 'exotic' ones like the Kaaju paratha, Badaam paratha, Kishmish paratha.....the list is never ending...phew!!!
For the more strong willed or should I say strong 'palatted'?, one can try the 'Mirchi' paratha which is absolutely hot!!! A single trip will not be sufficient to savour the different items on menu...Am planning another trip soon...
