Jalebi Wala, Delhi 01-2015

One of the recommended experiences in Old Delhi is the Chandni Chowk trawl. This street is conveniently directly opposite the entrance to the Red Fort and seems to extend all the way to New Delhi station. Despite the road being so long, the dense amount of people and traffic means a short walk is probably enough. Lucky then that Jalebi Wala is located at one of the first intersections and the road the leads on towards the incredible Jama Masjid.

It is a store apparently since 1884. The server informed us there is only two things - jalebi and samosa - in order to specialise and do them as well as possible. And they surely do that.

- Jalebi – sweet sugary honey syrup wrapping a thick batter with a soft core. This is only place in India I tried this, but I can tell this would be one of the best;
- Samosa – ordered this to help fill the lack of breakfast in my stomach and glad I did. It was filled with whole peas tightly bound in the most delicious soft yet crisp seasoned pastry.

There isn't really much more to discuss - if I ever find myself in the area again (which I think is unlikely in this lifetime) I'd certainly drop back here for an energising snack.
