Gurdasram Jalebiwala, Amritsar

One of the most famous jalebi shops in the city of Amritsar. This tiny little corner is food heaven for those with a sweet tooth. Nothing beats the freshly made hot, mouth-watering jalebis. Modest price, small portion and full of bliss! Go try them.

 

Golgappas/Panipuri

Golgappas have to be one of the most popular street foods in India. For me it’s a ritual, when I go to Ludhiana, I have to have golgappas. It is a simple hollow, fired puri, made with flour or semolina. The flour ones are more crispy and more popular. A small hole is inserted and then filled with any combination of chickpeas, onions, potatoes and then filled with flavoured water. The water is what makes the golgappa; from simple tamarind based pani, the street vendor now has multiple flavours. Sweet, tangy, spicy to appeal to all taste buds. Affordable by all and enjoyed by all, this is the simple attraction that keeps bringing me back to India.
