JALEBIS AND REST....

I went out shopping one Saturday, was unimpressed with what i called the “refined” taste of air-conditioned mall chaat. “If you want street food you go to the street,” was my friend's verdict. She dug instead into a platter of fried bread and vegetables.Street foods in the mall do not immediately threaten the street food of Delhi, but the roadside vendors may well have to change the way they do business. A court order earlier this year directed the city to ban the cooking of food outdoors, though not the sale of precooked foods. The city has yet to issue final rules, but it is likely to usher in changes to chaat-making.
