A day in Ahmedabad: The fab foodie trail

In Ahmedabad for a day to take pictures of the International Kite Festival, Paramita Haldar, who loves more than anything else to capture moments with her camera, shares some pictures and details of all the delicious food she ate

Kochori and chole:   This was for breakfast. Though it is a typical Rajasthani dish, you find it in Ahmedabad, along with dhokla . The pocket pinch is only ₹ 25-30 .Typical Rajasthani kachori has an extra chena ( cottage cheese) item which is missing in other parts of the country. After all, no better way than a filling breakfast to start your day.

Aloo Tikki: Snacktime, it is! A snack made of boiled potatoes, onions and various curry spices.  This picture of mouth-watering aloo tikki is seriously going to make you crave for some!

Thali ( lunch): A typical thali having chana masala, paneer bhurji, dal, jeera rice, butter roti and salad. Perfect antidote for a hunger strike. All this for ₹130!

Thali (dinner): After a long day, what you need is a wholesome dinner. This sumptuous thali includes moong dal, aoo matar, kadhi, paneer bhurji, beans ki sabji, mithi dal, rabri, jalebi, uttapam, bajre ki roti with sugar jaggery and butter, puri, lasoon ki chatni, chas, tawa butter roti, papad and kachori . Quote a royal mouthful! Sasuji is a famous family restaurant in Ahmedabad which serves the authentic Gujarati thali. Price for a all you can eat Thali is only  ₹270.

Malai Kulfi: Whats for dessert? A chilly experience with Mawa Kulfi. Kulfi which is made of reduced milk or malai to give it a rich flavour. May sound like an oxymoron, but this kulfi is sure to melt your heart.

And this rounds up a day in one of India’s most exciting cities. Will be back for more!
