Get a taste of Old Delhi street food right here in Mumbai

Mumbai: For Mumbaikars who’ve only heard about Delhi being a gastronome’s paradise, here’s your chance to check it out for yourself.

But, you don’t have to go all the way to the capital for that. Just hop across to the Peshwa Pavillion at ITC Grand Maratha, Andheri, where you can tuck into bharwa golgappas, kullas (scooped out vegetables filled with chickpeas, pomegranate, mint and lemon), parathas, dahi gujiyas (soft vadas made of pulses and topped with yoghurt, mint and tamarind chutney), tantalising beetroot kanji (digestive drink made of mustard powder, beetroot and radish) or the yummy Daulat ki chaat (sweet milk froth garnished with almonds and pistachios).

The festival is on until February 28.

“Old Delhi’s street food is distinct from the rest of Delhi. It has recipes that have been handed down through generations and have retained their integral flavour,” says Gunjan Goela, founder and owner of Dilli Ka Khana who has flown down with her team to host the Purani Dilli Ka Khana, an Old Delhi food festival in the city.
