This is a giant vat of galub jamun, one of my favorites. They are fried dough balls in sweet syrup.
This is another sweet called jalebi, which is made from deep fried batter and then soaked in sugar syrup. It has an interesting texture that is kind of chewy and crunchy.
These are fancy dhokla sandwiches made with paneer.
And these are called khandvi, which are made out of a yogurt and chickpea flour batter. I had never tried this before and it’s now one of my favorites. I order it whenever I see it.
When I was there last, I went with my Great Aunt to a party at the Air Force base where her late husband had served as an Air Vice Marshal. We were invited to meet up with some of his old friends and feast on some really amazing foods. I really love how there were plants growing all over the bar.
My Great Aunt is wearing the fingerless gloves I gave her – perfect for drinking tea:) She also took me to her favorite place to get chole bhatura and kachori in Delhi, which I did a post on here.

do you happen to know the name of that bakery with the Gujarati namkin? I am Gujarati and moving to Delhi and will need to find some place that reminds me of Mom’s cooking!
So this bakery is in the Malviya Nagar market right facing the main drag there. I can’t recall the bakery name, but this market in general has everything and there is an amazing pickle stall too you have to visit in the interior of the market.
