"It’s hard to resist the whiff of hot oil and the aroma of sputtering spices and the sight of stuffed parathas being dipped into a large cauldron bubbling with desi ghee. They emerge deep-fried, golden and beautifully transformed." Tradition rules the old city’s street food. It’s not just the delicious offerings but there’s a lot more lending itself to its iconic status. The dingy lane, originally known as the Dareeba Khurd was almost barren, spotted with a few sariwallahs and silver shops when a Brahmin family from Gwalior gave it a new meaning. They started a legacy that has continued for generations. Back in the day, there were about 10 to 12 paratha shops - all owned by the same family. The Paranthe Wali Gali became the word around the neighbourhood. Source: food.ndtv.com This footage
