Aloo tikki chhole chaat...(Delhi style)

            Honestly Speaking! Growing up in Delhi is the best thing to happen for foodies..Nowhere else have i seen the passion for food that Delhites have..I learnt a lot about north-Indian cuisine (Starters, Main course dishes, snacks, Sweets, Desserts, Savories..) during my stay there in my childhood. Festivals were the time when i was stuffed up by neighbours..Let it be the vrat ka prashad or the chatpate chaats.. Lots of memories to cherish.
