Famous Varanasi Tomato Chat at Deena Chat Bhandar near Girja Ghar Crossing

Varanasi's winter magic: 'Malaiyo'
This incredible dessert available during winter is made with milk, pista (pistachio) and kesar (saffron). To get it's fluffy, frothy, cloud-like texture, it has to be left overnight under open sky to collect dew drops.
Varanasi is a paradise for foodies. A fact, as a non-vegetarian, I discovered pretty late in life. The streets, just like the people, are packed with delectable fastfoods, chats, and other goodies that not even the most health conscious traveller can resist!

Just some sumptuous homemade Chicken 65! Always better to cook these incredible streetfoods at home.
-Marinate chicken in curd with, kashmiri lal mirch, haldi, jeera and dhania powders, ginger garlic paste, dried curry leaves
-Let it rest for at least an hr and then add corn or rice flour
-Now deep fry the marinated chicken and set aside
-In a separate pan shallow fry garlic, curry leaves and green chilis and then add the fried chicken
-And voila, ur chicken 65 is ready.

And winter approaches...with Daulat ki Chaat an Old Delhi original...made by churning milk for several hrs until it becomes airy and light like clouds. It's usually made to sit out and ferment over night. It's served with garnish like saffron, khoya, and pistachios.

That time of year for one of my favourite snacks, Sabudana Vada 😋🫓 Happy Navratri!

Since the festive Pujo season is here, there's a distinct Bengali-ness in the air... bringing along those irresistible B**g food cravings. However, nowadays, our preference leans more towards homemade meals rather than dining out at restaurants. So, that's precisely what we did, we ordered food from a home kitchen, specifically . The meal we received was incredibly personalized, delightfully flavorful, and flawlessly prepared. Our order included mouthwatering dishes like Kosha Mangsho (mutton), Malai Chingri (prawns), Tomato Chutney, Luchi, Aloo Jhuri Bhaja (potato fry), and Dal. To put it simply, the food was nothing short of amazing and is definitely a culinary experience worth trying.

Breakfast in the narrow streets of ancient Mylapore neighbourhood of Chennai; against the backdrop of one of the OG temples (Kapaleeshwarar) of the city.
The eatery is known as Jannal Kadai; "jannal" meaning window in Tamil. It is literally a hole in the wall type eatery and has been serving sumptuous South Indian food for years. There's no seating. Just order your food from the window and stand and eat....a different experience.
Walking through the narrow streets of Mylapore really takes you back in time!
Location: South Mada Street, Mylapore, near the temple.
