Kamal's food Kamaal ka !!

Kamal's at Sunder Nagar Market
That's not Chicken !!
Street food can be surprising in Delhi, and especially at unpretentious places, like this one at Sunder Nagar Market. This small kiosk on the road-side of Sunder Nagar market probably has the best kept vegetarian secrets in Delhi. Though the place has the looks of any regular dhaba, the quality of food would be quite a surprise. Incredible is all what you can say about the food.

For die-hard vegetarians, must tries include Paneer Tikka, Aloo Bharwa Tikka, Gobhi Tikka, Soyabean Chaap Tikka, Veg Kebab, and Mushroom Tikka .

Must try:
Paneer Tikka,
Aloo Bharwa Tikka
Gobhi Tikka
Soyabean Chaap Tikka
Veg Kebab, and Mushroom Tikka

Reaching There
Right on Sunder Nagar Market on Mathura Road. The place is usually crowded unless you come in early or late enough. Finding a good parking spot might be a hassle.

The Changezi trail

Chicken Changezi
Genghis Khan the founder of the great Mongol empire would never have imagined that a delicacy would ever be named after him, forget, be cherished at least a few centuries later. Yes, I am talking about Chicken Changezi, a Ramzan delicacy and patronized by a small motley restaurant near Jama Masjid. As the story goes , Genghis Khan was fond of food which was not quite spicy and was presented with a delicacy of chicken prepared in milk and ghee, replacing water. The rest has been history. Half a decade ago, when we ( +Jameel Ahmad Khan and me) first set out in search of this place, we were advised to lookout for a pehlwan (wrestler), and while walking through the alleys near Jama Masjid, we spot a guy sitting in front of a shop, almost the dimensions of a Sumo wrestler and the intuition was confirmed by a tiny board announcing "Chicken Changezi".


Chicken Soup
Chicken Changezi
Half a decade later and few dozens trips later, we still cherish the taste of Chicken Changezi and much more, the price as we run out of money at the end of the month. The place has rarely changed including the bearers, except for a new expanded seating arrangement, and a new kiosk where you can collect your coupons. The taste still remains the same, the price has marginally changed. For the less adventurous, and who have attachments (family, I mean), there is a more amicable place for you at Darya Ganj, just next to Golcha Cinemas. 

Must try:
Chicken Changezi
Chicken Soup

Reaching There
Take a rickshaw from Jama Masjid Gate No 2 or walk down the narrow road. Ask for directions if you get lost.
