Delhi Food – Khandani Pakodiwalla, Near Bhikaji Cama Flyover
Certain plates are not lucky to be ghettoized with a certain climate. For some excuse for why pakodas are romanticized with monsoon. As the sky obscures, cooks obediently cut the vegetables, layer them in chickpea paste and begin profound-searing them. Yet Delhi's normal twelve-month precipitation of 611 mm is barely sufficient for pakoda fans
.
The Khandani Pakodiwalla, on the Ring-Road Sarojini Nagar crossing point, be that as it may, is broiling pakodis every day since 1962, come rainstorm or dry spell. It was started by the grand father of Mr Omprakash, the present owner of the shop. Khandani denotes familial in Hindi.
Depending on if you wish to die by pakodas, you ought to be present here. The counter racks are stuffed with pakodas. The table behind is secured with pakodas. The deck too is taken over by basketful of pakodas. The air is rich with the fragrance of pakodas.
There are 11 assortments incorporating cauliflower, lotus root, spinach, potato, green chilli, onion, paneer and bread. Presented with green chutney, the bread pakoda is rectangular, the onion is round and the cauliflower is uneven. One mixed bag is called ‘seekh kebab’, which is a deep-fried roll of channa daal, green peas and potato. Regardless of being treated with interesting flavors like ajwain, fenugreek and cumin, the cauliflower pakoda holds the vegetable\\\'s crude flavour. In the onion pakoda, underneath the resplendent tan covering sits the entire onion, translucent and sweet.
Viewing the pakoda-makers on the go is fascinating. He picks the perfectly round cut egg-plant, plunges them in the chickpea paste and fries them in a karahi of sweltering murmuring oil. His hands move similar to a drummer who is currently pounding the drum, now striking into the cymbal, now striking the tambourine.
