- [Trevor] Comin' up for all you food rangers out there.
We're going deep to find tons of delicious street food
with our friend Anubhav in the back lanes of Delhi.
Get ready, 'cause we're bringing you
to try tons of delicious street food.
All right, check it out, guys.
It's Trevor James, hanging out with my good buddy,
Anubhav Sapra, foodie-in-chief at Delhi Food Walks,
and today's a super special day,
'cause we're gonna go for a full-on street food tour.
- So we are going all over Delhi to try some
old and some new street food.
- Let's check it out.
Food is the reason to visit Delhi,
and today, with local food expert Anubhav,
we're bringing you to try eight
amazing Indian street foods throughout Delhi.
Starting out with some classic Indian
street foods during the day,
and then Anubhav is bringing us to
the craziest curry restaurant for dinner,
followed by a walk through a super deep back alleyway,
and a Muslim neighborhood for some
delicious Muslim snacks during Ramadan.
And first up, we're going for kachori.
- You should try kachori, matar kachori.
It's like a typical street food of Delhi.
- Okay.
Wow, this is the kachori magic scene.
(Trevor laughs)
So, it's essentially a crispy ...
What would you call it? Like a cracker, almost.
- We can call it a cracker.
We call it kachori, and these, like, fried dumplings.
And then they put some chickpeas over it,
onion, coriander, spices.
- So, it's a base kachori, and then he's adding chickpeas.
And I just love that huge pot of chickpeas there.
Oh, look at that chickpea mix.
So, we've got tons of chickpeas going over top
of a kachori, and sweet tamarind chutney.
Oh, and lots of spice.
- [Anubhav] Salt, coriander.
- [Trevor] Oh wow, this is the--
- [Anubhav] You see how he's working from both his hands.
- [Trevor] Yeah.
This is the kachori hot spot.
And then a little lime ... or a lot of lime, yeah.
(crowds chatter)
More of that chutney. Oh, and then mixing it up.
(chef mixes ingredients in bowl)
Wow, and it smells really nice.
And he's just topping it off with that
chickpea spice mix, right?
- [Anubhav] Yeah.
- [Trevor] Oh wow, this is ... the kachori action.
Amazing.
Oh yeah, and then he's just loading it up
with more of that coriander and chutney, right?
- [Anubhav] Yep.
- [Trevor] Oh, thank you, awesome.
Let's go try it out.
Wow, look at that.
So, it's covered in that sweet tamarind chutney, right?
Cilantro and onions?
- [Anubhav] And ginger. - [Trevor] And ginger.
And then, of course, the soul, which is the chickpea, right?
- [Anubhav] Yep. - [Trevor] Oh, yeah.
Beautiful.
(Trevor enjoys his kachori)
- [Anubhav] All good. - [Trevor] Wow.
That's a satisfying crunch.
It's got that really crunchy kachori,
and then it's sweet with that tamarind.
- [Anubhav] With the tamarind sauce.
- [Trevor] Yeah, and then a bit of that cilantro freshness.
Oh, wow, there's a ton of spices in there.
- [Anubhav] Yeah, something like kachori
is something that we eat with many different combinations.
That's the different combination, with kachori.
- [Trevor] I love all the spices they put
in that chickpea mix.
And the best part is that crunch,
and the sweet tamarind chutney.
- [Anubhav] Let's go and check out the next place.
- [Trevor] Perfect.
There's just so much for you to try on the streets of Delhi,
and next up, Anubhav is bringing us to a classic snack store
to try a couple of famous Indian snacks
that you're gonna love, like the kulfi ice cream
and some super tasty aloo tikki fried potato patties.
- So, we are in Ghaffar Market.
This market is in Karol Bagh.
And Karol Bagh is famous for wedding shopping.
You get dresses, purses--
- It's all here.
- You get all fabric, garments.
And then you get the first copy of everything.
(Trevor laughs) - All fake stuff.
- All fake stuff, you can get it from this place,
whether it's like memory card or chargers,
or power bank, you can get everything at this place.
- And there's food up ahead.
- Yeah, we're just walking to the first food stop.
- Awesome.
- Now, we are going to try kulfi, chole bhature,
and aloo tikki at Roshan Di Kulfi.
- Oh.
- And if you ask any local person
one place to eat in Karol Bagh,
most probably they would recommend you this place to eat.
- Right here. - Right here.
- This is it.
Oh wow, so what do we have here?
- [Anubhav] This is like mashed potatoes
stuffed with lentils.
Then they also add a little bit of porter cheese,
green pea, and then they are deep fried in ghee,
clarified butter.
- [Trevor] Oh, and then what's this here?
- [Anubhav] That's the kulfi they're taking out.
- [Trevor] Oh, is this the final kulfi?
- [Anubhav] Yes, the final kulfi with mango lacha.
- [Trevor] Mango lacha?
- [Anubhav] This is mango, there's falooda, and then--
- [Trevor] Vermicelli. - [Anubhav] Vermicelli.
With some sugar syrup.
- [Trevor] Is it like a mango vermicelli?
- [Anubhav] Yeah. Thank you, sir.
This from beetle leaf kulfi.
- Beetle leaf ice cream?
- You have tried lapan and wanted to see.
Here, you can try the kulfi.
- [Trevor] So, is it different from regular ice cream?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, it's like it's a different kind
of ice cream, but the thing is that, like, ice cream,
normally you make it in a bucket and scoop it out.
Here, the kulfi is like made in
different conical-shaped molds.
- [Trevor] Oh, nice.
- [Anubhav] You see, like, that's the kulfi.
It's conical shaped, and they put the dough to seal it.
- [Trevor] Oh, they seal it with dough?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, and then they take it out.
The traditional kulfi, the authentic, real kulfi flavor
is saffron, pistachios, and cardamom.
Now, in many places, they have started many other flavors,
but the real Indian ... if you go to any place
and ask for kulfi, that's the flavor they serve.
- [Trevor] So that's what we're gonna get?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, we are going to try that.
- [Trevor] With the mango vermicelli, right?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, vermicelli and some sugar syrup.
They also added a little bit-- - [Trevor] Awesome.
Whoa!
- [Anubhav] Aloo tikki and chole bhature.
- Chole bhature, we got the full set up.
So, the mango is melting, the ice cream is melting,
so maybe we should just go in for that first.
- [Anubhav] Yeah, let's do it.
- [Trevor] But we've also got chole bhature, right?
- [Anubhav] Yeah yeah, chickpea and the fried bread.
This is, like, if you talk about Delhi street food,
this is the first recipe that comes to our mind.
- [Trevor] Oh, okay.
- This typical, authentic Delhi street food.
- So, it's like a chickpea curry?
- Yeah, chickpea curry.
- With the fried bread-- - Fried bread.
- And pickles, right?
- Pickles and onion and chili, that's how they serve it.
- [Trevor] And then we've got the aloo tikki here,
which is that beautiful fried potato patty.
And then what's the chutney?
- [Anubhav] There we have green coriander mint sauce,
and you have a sweet tamarind sauce with banana.
- [Trevor] Wow, it looks amazing.
Oh yeah, let's go in for some of that.
So, it's a pistachio ice cream, is that right?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, saffron, pistachios, and cardamom.
- [Trevor] And then we've got vermicelli,
and that's a mango vermicelli, right?
- [Anubhav] Mango, yeah, mango vermicelli.
- [Trevor] Oh, beautiful.
Oh, wow. It's all just sweet.
- Yeah. - And the cardamom.
It's like a sweet cardamom pistachio ice cream.
Wow, you can really taste all the cardamom,
and the pistachio.
You're gonna love what's up next,
'cause after tasting that amazingly tangy,
sweet, and spicy potato patty, and before going to
absolute curry heaven, Anubhav is taking us
for one more street food, a famous omelet.
Except this is 100% pure veg, no eggs involved.
You've gotta try this.
So, what's up next?
- Next, we are going to try moonglet.
- Moonglet? - Yeah.
So, it's like derived from two words: moong and let.
Like you have omelet.
Omelets are made up of eggs. - Yeah.
- There's no egg in it; it's like moonglet.
Moong and let.
- So, moong is daal, right? - Moong is daal.
- So, it's like a daal lentil omelet?
Is that right? - Yeah, yeah.
Lentil omelet. - Oh, right here.
- That's the place where they make it.
So they're always busy, like the one person is making
it at four different times.
- [Trevor] Oh, so what is this?
This is a--
- [Anubhav] This is the batter of lentils, like moong daal.
- [Trevor] Okay.
- [Anubhav] And now, he's mixing it with salt.
- [Trevor] And corn.
- [Anubhav] Yes, there's a lot of things.
There's onion, there's sweet corn, there's capsicum.
- [Trevor] Oh, all the butter.
- [Anubhav] Then we have beetroot, and that's the butter.
- [Trevor] Oh, okay.
- [Anubhav] It's the batter of lentils with capsicum,
coriander, sweet corn, onion, beetroot.
- [Trevor] Nice.
- [Anubhav] All mixed together.
- [Trevor] Wow, that's super unique.
- [Anubhav] Yeah, now he's adding coriander.
- [Trevor] Coriander, so it's just
like a pure lentil omelet?
- [Anubhav] And then, you can see,
that's the beetroot and ginger.
- [Trevor] Oh wow, colorful.
- [Anubhav] The best one is a beetroot.
You see, look, now he is turning it.
- [Trevor] Oh wow, it looks so fluffy.
- [Anubhav] It's super delicious.
You can have it in the breakfast time,
as a evening snack, as a dinner, like all times.
You're getting the special one.
- [Trevor] That's where this all comes from.
- [Anubhav] Loads of butter-- - [Trevor] Loads of butter.
Who would've known you can make such a unique thing,
a unique omelet, from lentils?
- [Anubhav] There you go. - [Trevor] Oh, there it is.
- [Anubhav] And the date chutney.
- [Trevor] Triple combo.
Thank you so much. - Welcome.
- Wow.
Look at that, absolutely saturated with butter.
And then what do we have here?
- [Anubhav] We have three different
kinds of dips, like chutney.
One is a date chutney, and the second one is
a sweet tamarind chutney, and the green one,
green coriander mint chutney.
The best way is like you take it from your hand.
- [Trevor] Okay. - [Anubhav] One slice.
- [Trevor] Oh, it's just saturated.
Look at all the butter in there.
Oh, that is so hot.
(upbeat, jazzy music)
Whoa.
- How is it? - Wow.
It feels so healthy, but heavy at the same time.
Kind of like an omelet actually.
Omelet's a little bit similar.
- And that's a pure veg omelet.
- Veg omelet. - Pure veg omelet.
It's like a pure-- - No eggs in it.
- No eggs.
It tastes like a heavy but healthy upgraded mashed potato.
And the chutney, this date chutney, is sweet,
a little spicy as well.
You can taste all the coriander in there.
Next up, Anubhav is bringing us to a legendary
dhaba-style restaurant in Delhi, rajinder da dhaba,
but this here isn't just any curry restaurant.
This is the place to go in Delhi
for cheap, incredibly flavorful food.
And right when you walk up, you'll see why.
There's just so much action and colors and smells,
you won't be able to resist your hunger.
You're gonna want to try it all.
- Now, we are at a very famous dhaba in south Delhi.
Dhaba is basically a roadside eatery.
So this place started as a roadside eatery,
but now has, like, a whole empire.
- [Trevor] Wow.
- [Anubhav] And I call this place a Delhi food festival.
Every day it's like a food festival here.
- [Trevor] Wow, it's packed. - Packed.
- It's basically just a food heaven.
- Food heaven, or you can call it a meat heaven.
- Meat heaven.
Oh, we're going in.
And we're going into the kitchen to see ...
Oh--
- [Anubhav] That's the fried chicken.
- Fried chicken heaven. Look at all that.
So they're frying it and covering it in spice?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, that's chaat masala.
- [Trevor] Chaat masala.
- [Anubhav] And fried kabobs, also.
- [Trevor] Wow, you can really smell the chaat masala.
It's potent.
And they're just scaling the chicken.
Look at that.
- [Anubhav] How they are weighing it,
like, they'll buy it by kilogram.
- [Trevor] Really?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, one kilogram of chicken wings,
one kilogram of leg piece, one kilogram--
- [Trevor] Oh yeah, and that's the tandor here.
It's packed with juicy, dripping chicken.
So they've got the white one.
- [Anubhav] Afghani one. - [Trevor] Afghani with cream.
Right? - [Anubhav] Yeah.
- [Trevor] And then, the regular tandoori.
- [Anubhav] That's the red one with red spices.
- [Trevor] And the yellow one with turmeric.
And he's just pulling them all out.
- [Anubhav] Yeah. - [Trevor] Cool.
- [Anubhav] That's the fish, tandoori fish.
- [Trevor] Tandoori fish!
- [Anubhav] That's the tandoori fish.
- [Trevor] This is tandoori chicken heaven.
- [Anubhav] Tandoori chicken, and that's tandoori fish.
Fish tikka. - [Trevor] Fish tikka.
- [Anubhav] And that's a bowl of the chicken.
- [Trevor] That is tandoori chicken of your dreams.
Spicy and juicy.
It looks so good.
But this was just the beginning.
After a quick walk outside, we found ourselves
at the flat grill, full of deep, dark, rich gravies.
Wow, we just found the ultimate gravy spot.
So what do we have here?
- [Anubhav] Here is paneer butter masala.
- [Trevor] Paneer butter masala.
- [Anubhav] And that's, like, chicken.
Chili chicken. - [Trevor] Chili chicken.
And this is where they make a lot of the gravies?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Trevor] Oh, and he's just loading up.
- [Anubhav] That's butter ... butter paneer masala.
- [Trevor] Tons of cilantro on there,
and it just burns the eyes.
- [Anubhav] That's the very chili--
- [Trevor] Yeah, you can smell the chili.
It's actually burning your eyes.
That's amazing. And there's even more.
Just another couple steps, and you find yourself
in true curry heaven, with tons of different pots
full of spicy delicacies.
Oh, there's just tons of pots of gravy.
We totally just found curry heaven.
Look at this--
- [Anubhav] Chicken curry. - [Trevor] Chicken curry.
Oh, wow.
It looks so flavorful.
So, we're gonna get the chicken curry here, right?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, the chicken curry.
- [Trevor] And this is what we're getting, right here.
I love how they just load up the sauce.
So chicken curry here, and then down here, mutton korma.
- [Anubhav] Mutton korma, thicker
compared to the chicken curry.
- [Trevor] Yeah, it looks so thick and rich.
And they're just loading them up.
India is just the spice lover's heaven.
- [Anubhav] That's butter chicken.
- [Trevor] Butter chicken.
It's all here.
- Real chicken curry.
So you've seen all the pre-dishes.
- Yeah, let's go outside and try it out.
So we're just hanging out with all the locals.
Everyone's just sitting down.
There's no actual tables here, so you just sit down
on the curb and enjoy.
So what have we got here?
- [Anubhav] Fried chicken. - [Trevor] Fried chicken.
- [Anubhav] Got some chicken tikka.
- [Trevor] Chicken tikka. - [Anubhav] That's from kandu.
This is the naan. - [Trevor] Naan.
- [Anubhav] They have one more specialty.
That's chicken curry. - [Trevor] Oh, chicken curry.
- Yeah, let's start with the chicken tikka.
- Oh, chicken tikka.
(Trevor enjoys his chicken tikka)
Wow, look at that.
That tandoori sauce; it's a tikka sauce, right?
- [Anubhav] That's a tikka sauce, a tikka masala.
- [Trevor] Tikka masala sauce.
That is just perfect.
You've gotta come here to Delhi, India, to try that.
It's spicy, and the skin is a little crispy, juicy.
And now we can go in-- - The curry.
- For the beautiful curry.
Take some naan with it, too, right?
That's one of the joys of India for me,
is just ripping the naan and soaking it
with all different types of curry.
Oh yeah, pure chicken joy tonight.
We got three different types of chicken,
and each one is unique and perfectly tasty in its own way.
Just break some of that meat off into your naan.
Oh, yeah. There it is.
That looks perfect.
(crowds chatter in the background)
- How is it? - Oh yeah.
- Really smooth. - [Anubhav] Smooth?
- [Trevor] Not too spicy.
- Not too spicy to go with the onion?
- [Trevor] This is one of the best
Indian street meals you'll ever eat.
And next up, Anubhav is bringing us
to experience what we solely came to India for
at the peak of 40 degree heat in the summer:
Ramadan at night.
And he's taking us in deep to a local neighborhood
to taste what the locals eat after they break the fast.
- Now we are in Zakir Nagar Batla House.
And this is, again, a Muslim neighborhood--
- Wow, so much action here.
- So people are buying, like, store food.
- So, this is busier especially for Ramadan right now?
Is that right?
- Yes, so you can see, like, all of them there
having their pakoras, and all are buying their store food.
- Crazy action here.
Amazing, and there's a ton of food to try, right?
- Yeah, yeah. - [Trevor] It's so busy.
- So we are going to try Al Umar's special chicken.
- Oh, Al Umar chicken. Hi, wow.
Let's try it out.
Oh, and that's the big tandoori over here.
Let's go take a look.
- [Anubhav] And they have two different kinds of chicken.
They have the white one and the red one.
The red one is a tandoori chicken,
and the white one is malvani chicken.
- [Trevor] Wow, look at that.
Oh, yeah, look at that beauty.
So they put it right in the bowl,
and then what do they put in there?
- [Anubhav] Lot of spices, that yogurt.
- [Trevor] Nice, so it's like a masala spice,
yogurt, and then--
- Fresh cream. - [Trevor] Oh, cream.
Nice.
- [Anubhav] And they add butter.
- [Trevor] Oh, pure butter.
- [Anubhav] You can see how much butter they add in there.
- [Trevor] That's a ton of butter.
So it's basically like an upgraded tandoori chicken,
is that right?
- [Anubhav] Yes, upgraded tandoori chicken
with butter, yogurt, cream, spices.
- [Trevor] Let's try it out.
Here we go.
(crowds chatter and music plays in the background)
Oh yeah. Oh, it's ultra creamy.
- [Anubhav] It's buttery, creamy.
- [Trevor] Creamy, buttery, smoky.
That's a great, great piece of chicken right there.
- [Anubhav] Yeah, you can see the butter
that's spreading on the plate.
- [Trevor] And it's so busy in here.
- Yeah, now is a busy time.
People have come from the altars from their home.
- Wow.
- They are shopping here for Ramadan.
- So, what's up ahead?
- Next, I think, we'll try nihari.
- Nihari ... which is a goat stew, is that right?
- I think so, like, here they use buff--
- [Trevor] Buffalo.
India is street food heaven.
And here it is ... nihari.
Oh, nihari.
Oh, look at the massive pot.
Amazing.
So, it's essentially buffalo and what else is in there?
- [Anubhav] There's buffalo, there's different spices there.
Then they add flour, beet flour just to thicken it.
Then they have piles also.
- [Trevor] Oh, in piles.
So, this is buffalo feet?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, buffalo feet.
- [Trevor] So you can get your buffalo feet
in this massive pot of nihari.
That's all ghee.
Oh.
(man speaks in Hindi)
Tons of ghee. Oh, nice.
Oh, and tons of that bread.
Beautiful.
- There's the bone marrow, and then you have nihari
with ginger, chili, and light clarified butter--
- [Trevor] Tons of ghee.
He just loaded it with ghee.
That looks so rich and thick.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
And then we can just dip it in.
And ghee, and lots of ginger, and chili.
Okay.
- [Anubhav] And the ... yeah, chili and lemon also.
- Cheers. (Trevor laughs)
- Nihari.
(crowds chatter and plates clink in the background)
- Wow. - And the bread is yummy.
- Oh, it's ultra rich.
- [Anubhav] Normally, people will squeeze lemon over.
- [Trevor] Oh, wow. It's so rich.
And heavy with all that ghee and butter.
- So, this is like the only place in Delhi
where they add ghee in nihari.
- Oh. - Everywhere is butter.
- It's so rich, oh. - More bread.
- And they just keep bringing the bread.
That meat around the feet is so tender.
And it's just like a rich stew.
Slightly spicy with a ginger kick.
I love the bread.
Thank you ... so delicious.
Nihari number one. (Trevor laughs)
- Nihari number one.
- Thank you so much.
(both men speak in Hindi)
Awesome.
Great, thank you.
- Next, we are going to go eat kabob and tikka.
- Oh, kabob. - And buff kabob.
- Buffalo kabob?
- Buffalo kabob, and more tikka.
And they have sea kabob.
- Sea kabob?
- Yeah, see the skewers?
They put down this meat on the skewers,
and then they are grilled.
- [Trevor] So this is minced buffalo meat?
- [Anubhav] Just buffalo meat.
- [Trevor] And then what are these?
- [Anubhav] Tikka. Just small pieces of buffalo.
- [Trevor] Small pieces, okay.
And the coal must give it a lot of flavor, too.
(man speaks in Hindi)
Oh, are these ours here?
Whoa, look at that.
Right deep in the streets of Delhi.
So, you just sprinkle some lime on it and go for it?
- [Anubhav] Yep.

- [Anubhav] They add a lot of different spices in there.
They have special kabob spices.

Oh, and it's hollow.
- [Anubhav] Oh, you can see, like, how soft.
- [Trevor] Oh, it's so soft, so soft and hot.
(car horn honks)
Oh, yeah.
- There was a time, you won't believe,
I used to eat, like, two of these skewers at one meal.
- Really? - And now I've stopped.
- Oh ... Oh, it's totally spicy.
You can taste cumin in there.
- Yeah. - Cumin.
And the lime gives it a nice freshness.
Mmmm, oh it's so unique.
- [Anubhav] Good? - [Trevor] Yeah.
- [Anubhav] There's chili.
They have the pile, they add the yellow chilis in it.
- [Trevor] Wow.

The yellow chilis are there.
- [Trevor] Mmmm, that is really tasty.
So busy here man.
- [Anubhav] Yeah, now it's time for dessert.
- [Trevor] Oh, beautiful. Wow, look at this!
So what is this here?
- It's, like, just boiled milk.
- Boiled milk.
- With a layer of cream on the top,
with saffron, dates, and almonds.
- [Trevor] Look at the color in there.
- [Anubhav] This is buffalo milk.
- Oh, okay, buffalo milk.
- [Anubhav] Yeah, it's not cow milk; it's buffalo milk.
It does thicken consistency, and it gives us
good amount of fat also for the cream.
- Oh yeah, it looks creamy and fatty.
And you can find this all over, right?
- Yeah, so this is eaten normally after dinner.
We will come out and then have a glass of milk
before we go to our bed.
- Cool.
And then he's just gonna keep pouring it
so it gets frothier and frothier, right?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, so you notice how the sugar
gets mixed very well.
- [Trevor] Oh, okay.
- [Anubhav] It ends up mixing the sugar.
- [Trevor] Nice.
And these are one-time use clay cups, right?
- [Anubhav] Yeah, one-time use clay cups.
- [Trevor] Beautiful.
Oh, that looks so fresh and hot.
And almonds!
Thank you. (speaks Hindi)
Let's try some of that cream with an almond.
- [Anubhav] That's why they've given a spoon,
so you can eat that cream first.
- [Trevor] Oh, yeah.
- [Anubhav] And then you drink the milk.
- You don't want any? - No.
- Too full, too full. (Trevor laughs)
Mmm. It's so thick.
It's thick.
- Then you get the flavor of saffron.
- Thick and sweet, with saffron.
Wow, thank you.
- I hope you enjoyed the food here.
- It was just fantastic.
And I'm gonna put a link to Anubhav's Instagram
in the description below.
Anubhav has the best knowledge of Delhi
and gives amazing food tours
at his company, Delhi Food Walks.
Thank you so much, buddy.
- Thank you so much for coming.
