street food ala banaras

our family had shifted to banaras from chandigarh and it was a big cultural shock at that time n age.......we certainly did not like the city then...but that was what children of our age could see ....i was in my preteen years and my younger siblings were even younger, the youngest brother was not even born.so that time if we did not like the neighborhood, the whole city was blamed........as years passed by we became truly immersed into the culture of banaras.........understanding the rich cultural heritage, which was in a complete contrast with a newly constructed city of chandigarh.......i am telling this because until then we were averse to street food which was considered as unhygienic, fat and dirt laden ...............so much so that the sight of road side golgappas n kachoris used to make me nauseate.........imagine today i am writing recipes of street food....................somewhere in my mind i still believe home cooked food is healthier .....we can recreate the street magic in our own kitchen.

to start with, what would be better than the kachori subzi of banaras which is available in almost every street in the morning hours and each kachoriwala has his own version of the famous kachori..............i have tried many of them n shall upload all of them as n when possible.

the second thing after kachori is the delicious.....mouth watering jalebi......the golden spirals of juicy heaven.......you have to eat it to believe it......i am giving the recipe............easy to make .............can't resist a jalebi.......my husband wants to have it for dinner sometimes.............we do have it then................
