Delhi Diary: Dilli Haat

I've this one basic thought that I always believe in- Whenever you want to explore a place, explore it like a tourist would do. So, it has been around my two years in Delhi and I would say I've explored it all. 

And as I don't mind taking a badge of 'Adventurer' from Foursquare, I think it's time I share my wisdom regarding the touristy places that you can visit in Delhi. I'm tagging the places as touristy coz they give you the taste of Delhi. In fact, as winters are coming, I've decided to give visit to each one of them again.

And as I was at Dilli Haat the other day, so why not begin the 'Delhi Diary' series with this very episode. And may I say the idea of doing this blog post came from this very visit. So, it makes double sense now. Doesn't it?

When I first heard the name, I thought it's going to be a place where you can get the real touch of Delhi. You know the 'chole-bhature', street collection, etc. But contrary to that, it showcases a little something from every state of India. Yes, that's the charm of Dilli Haat.

But sadly I couldn't cover it all this time due to excessive downpour. 

So, here are a few pictures of the things that I covered.


 I don't remember where I clicked this one. But it doesn't really matters as every stall was colourful in its own way.

This I remember was at Tamil Nadu stall. These were the different sorts of 'vadas' at display.




The famous 'rava' dosa from Tamil Nadu! And may I tell you it was indeed delicious. This you are hearing from a non-'dosa' fan. So you can imagine!



These two pictures are from Navdanya Organic Food. We couldn't bring ourselves to have a taste from this stall. You can guess why. ;)

Last time when I visited the place, I had 'pabda' fish from West Bengal stall. And it was good too. I'm sure I have its picture somewhere. I'll post it as soon as I find it.

And this is it! It was a good fun. And I would say it's one of the must-visit places in Delhi. So, when are you planning to visit?

Laters,
G
