Last week I was in Varanasi for about 36 hours. With Varanasi, two things naturally come in mind: paying your obeisance at the religious places and good food.

Chandni Chowk or Old Delhi or Delhi 6 or The Walled City, the area is known by many names and is famous for many things besides being an iconic historic place. I visit this locality twice in a year, if not more, for the amazing food which this city offers the year round. I go there once during the middle of the year when it is Ramzan days. This visit is essentially during evening hours to enjoy non-vegetarian delights (you may find the details here). Then once during the period between Diwali to Holi. This visit is normally on a weekend and essentially early morning to enjoy the vegetarian fare. Today, it’s turn for the early morning account which brings to you the joy of enjoying various dishes to have a hearty, actually a very hearty, breakfast. (more…)

That one scoop of that divine ice cream triggered the sweet story this week. What all the city offers to you, if you have a sweet tooth? The range is maddening and yet flavourful. Here we go… for a glimpse. (more…)
