From kachoris to safed makhan toast, the pilgrim city of Varanasi has a lot to offer for breakfast. Try these yummy nashtas today.
The delicious crunchy is made with loads of green peas, crushed together and mixed with poha that is doused in oodles of ghee. This is a Banarasi version of poha.
The dal-filled deep-fried bites called kachoris are a popular breakfast in many parts of UP. Paired with a hot potato curry, this breakfast combo is a must-try.
Made with the goodness of chenna aka paneer, this dahi vada is loaded with the protein and deep-fried to be covered in fresh curd. Finish with tamarind and mint chutney.
A humble breakfast found on the streets of Varanasi, the local bread slice is slathered with a coating of white butter and topped with sugar or chaat masala as per preference.
These bite-sized kachoris fried golden-brown and drizzled with a spicy chickpea curry. Sliced onions are used for the garnish, along with mint-coriander chutney.
