Also known as Katori chaat or Basket chaat, where grated potatoes are shaped like small cups, deep-fried, then topped with boiled chana, chutneys, and several garnishes.
Made with maida, ghee, milk, saffron, and sugar, this sweet and flavourful flatbread introduced by the Mughals has since been a mainstay.
One simply cannot go wrong with lacy, succulent, fall-off-the-bone meat immersed in flavourful gravy paired with flatbread in the form of Nihari and Kulcha.
Bread slices fried in ghee and then soaked in milk flavoured with cardamom, saffron, rose water, and sugar for a delicate yet luxurious dessert.
The super-thin paan-shaped layering of malai encloses mishri and nuts, scented with rose and kewra water for a treat that's ready to melt in your mouth.
