That’s the idea, Rajyasree:-). If you like the photos, my camera must be seriously good, ‘coz I am not good at photography!
Anyway, with the Metro, there is no reason for people to visit the new outlets and franchises of old Delhi favourites.

Oh my god, I’m salivating just reading this write-up. The nihari at Karim’s IS to die for, undoubtedly. Although I ahven;t eaten it since the last 2 years. A visit is imminent now, thanks to the picture and your description.

@Mallikacan – 20 years back I was at an age when I ate what my parents fed me, and sojourns into bylanes of Delhi wasnt something I was exposed to. So I will take your word that it used to be better those days!

Only benchmark I have is Malai Makhan (also called Nimish there) which is Lucknow’s version of Daulat ki Chat, and it comapres well.

This is an appealing idea for breakfast!
Did you get authentic ‘daulat ki chat’ ? Ones I have tasted recently are nowhere near the originals we had some 20 yrs back while living in that area.
Another quick snack option on a Metro ride is dahi bhallas @ Central Bank in Chandni Chowk. Those are simply awesome and filling.
