Dates, vermicelli, khoya Jalebi, dahi vada: Iftar special street food in Old Delhi

From the archive record

Dates, vermicelli, khoya Jalebi and dahi vada being sold in Old Delhi during Iftar in the month of Ramzan. In the holy month of Ramzan, Muslims from all over the world fast from dawn to dusk to come closer to God. Abstaining from food and drink during the day, the faithful Muslim may eat two meals a day - the pre-dawn suhoor and iftar at dusk. During iftar, Old Delhi becomes a paradise for food connoisseurs. The lane opposite Jama Masjid - Bazar Matia Mahal - is filled with heady aromas from big heaps of chicken biryani, tikkas, rumali rotis, kale chane, pakoras, keema samosas, vats of buffalo biryani, grilling botis and kebabs and hot paneer jalebi. To cool down, there are drums filled with Rooh Afza sherbet and dishes of dahi vada. Source :www.huffingtonpost.in This footage is part of th
