After throwing up in Nepal, Ajie was tasked with trying street food in India again.

To ensure clarity and organization, I will separate the discussion of food from tourist attractions, as the topic is extensive.

This trip was so bad that I cried myself to sleep and wanted to go home. Let's see what I ate.

Warm up with a meal from Jet Airways, choose between omelet and vegetarian options.

Omelette

Delicious. The eggs are fluffy and the beans in the tomato sauce have a hint of spice.

Sausage, baked potato, bread, butter, fruit, standard flavor

Vegetarian

Coarsely ground flour with a soft texture similar to palm sugar cake. The left half has a spicy and sour taste, slightly salty with a hint of spices.

The right wing has a salty and milky taste. It is served with a sauce that I don't know the name of, which also has a milky taste.

Easy to eat, delicious, and safe.

First meal in Delhi

Dazed after disembarking, I boarded the airport express train, lugging my luggage and braving the chaotic traffic with the tuk-tuk driver until I reached my accommodation.

But before they could even rest, they were dragged out to eat.

Sita Ram Diwan Chand

Coordinates: 28.6422669, 77.2103381

This small, long-standing eatery specializes in a single dish: Chole Bhature (Channa Bhatura), a traditional Indian dish consisting of spicy chickpea curry served with fried bread.

The translation of the sentence "อาหารขึ้นชื่อจากรัฐปัญจาบ ทางเหนือของอินเดีย" from Thai to English is:

"Famous food from the state of Punjab in northern India."

Order food at the counter, pay, and then walk to pick up the curry and put it on a tray.

Then, receive the warm Bhature dough with your hands and serve.

Spiced Bhature dough stuffed with coriander, a touch of mashed potato, and a soft, chewy texture.

Chole is a chickpea curry with a salty and creamy flavor. The spices are noticeable but not overpowering, and they stand out more than the taste.

Serve with pickled vegetables, shallots, and green chilies.

60 rupees for a set of curry with 2 pieces of flatbread, enough to fill you up.

Diners stand and eat directly at the counter, as there are no chairs available.

The bathroom is equipped with a sink and a self-service drinking fountain with cups.

The food tasted good, but I was too tired to be hungry and couldn't finish it.

Sweet and sour Lassi, a refreshing treat for 40 rupees. Self-service from the chiller.

Roadside Tea Shop

Coordinates: 28.642749, 77.210505

After finishing the bean curry, I desperately needed caffeine. I rushed to a tea shop but ended up ordering coffee.

The coffee here is not as delicious as the tea. It tastes like boiled milk and sugar, and there is no hint of coffee flavor.

The merchant proudly presented the clay cup, picking it up to show it, but it was covered in dust. Auntie A, however, chose it.

Earthen cup for 20 rupees, paper cup for 15 rupees.

Lassi

Coordinates: 28.640693, 77.210737

There are three Lassi shops in a row near the accommodation, with long wooden chairs in front of the shops for you to relax and enjoy your drink.

The equipment consists of a blender and a pestle in hand. Inside the blender, there are large ice cubes to provide coolness.

The vendor scoops yogurt from a large basin into a jar, adds sugar, and stirs it with a wooden spoon until well combined.

The ice begins to melt into a drinkable yogurt.

Place a pot of milk near the stove to make yogurt.

The bear duck ordered a Banana Lassi for 35 rupees. The bananas here are sour and astringent, not as sweet and fragrant as those back home.

The banana smoothie had a chunky texture and was barely chilled. After a single sip, I passed the entire glass to my friend.

(In my experience on this trip, the Lassi in restaurants is usually thicker and more deliciously sweet than the roadside stalls like this one.)

Day Two, Morning

Sample the local delicacies on your way to the Red Fort.

The Renowned Old Jalebi Wala

Coordinates: 28.656093, 77.233519

An old-established shop that everyone recommends, open for over 133 years.

Jalebi is a sweet, deep-fried dough snack popular in India and other South Asian countries. It is made by deep-frying a batter made from flour, yogurt, and water, which is then soaked in a sugar syrup.

The dish is pleasantly delicious, with a slightly crispy outer layer and a soft, syrup-soaked interior. The sweetness is rich and indulgent, typical of Indian desserts.

Indian sweet shops typically sell sweets by weight. This piece weighs 100 grams and costs 50 rupees.

Wealthy Snack

Walking into the alley of Old Famous Jalebi Wala, you will find a cart selling Daulat Ki Chaat.

Made from milk whipped until light and fluffy like whipped cream, the yellow color comes from milk mixed with saffron.

Typically sold during the winter season, as excessive heat would cause the dessert to melt.

The duck bears were ready to be tasted in mid-October.

Like eating whipped cream, sprinkled with sugar and nuts, sweet and savory, light and delicious, priced at 50 rupees.

Salt Lassi

Not far from the previous spot, another eatery caught our attention. This one was also bustling with customers, so naturally, I couldn't resist joining the crowd.

I saw a sign with a picture of a glass of milk for 10 rupees. I don't know what the writing said, but I ran to buy it and try it.

A shop selling potato curry with roti bread and puffed, round snacks filled with spices.

This is a traditional salty lassi, a sour milk drink popular in India.

Sprinkled with spices and crispy puffed rice.

The appearance was strange, but the taste was even more unfamiliar. It was quite salty, followed by sour and savory.

With the aroma of spices, it's hard to tell if you're eating a snack or a soup.

Falooda with Rabri

Coordinates of the small shop: 28.6562632, 77.2341482 - 28.656435, 77.2305561

We crossed the street from Old Famous Jalebi Wala to return to the Chandni Chowk metro station.

Passing by a Rabri Falooda shop, a refreshing summer dessert made with milk and sweetened with sugar or condensed milk.

Simmer until thick and fragrant, similar to caramel. Add nuts, rose syrup, and spices. This is called Rabri.

To serve, add Falooda sev noodles, similar to vermicelli, and stir vigorously until the entire glass is evenly mixed and slightly thickened.

Foreigners call it Noodle Milkshake.

The sentence translates to: "The feeling is similar to eating lod chong with milk, mixed with slimes, with only one ice cube."

Here's a breakdown of the translation:

• อารมณ์คล้าย: This translates to "feeling is similar to".
• ลอดช่องใส่นม: This translates to "lod chong with milk". Lod chong is a Thai dessert made with rice flour and coconut milk.
• ผสมสลิ่ม: This translates to "mixed with slimes". Slimes are a type of Thai dessert made with tapioca flour and coconut milk.
• แบบใส่น้ำแข็งก้อนเดียว: This translates to "with only one ice cube".

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Sweet and creamy, with a hint of caramel, nuts, and rose syrup.

The flavors are so complex and delicious, it's hard to describe them all.

The Hunt for the Best Ice Cream in Delhi

In the afternoon, we went in search of Indian-style ice cream, which is made by hollowing out fruits, filling them with ice cream, and then freezing them whole.

But Google led me through the alleys, getting lost and tired.

Navigating the bustling streets of Indian markets presents a unique challenge, as they are not only bathed in sunlight but also contend with the cacophony of honking horns, swirling dust, and scattered debris.

The clutter along the way made it twice as tiring as usual. Ugh!

The good news is that when we arrived at the store, we found it closed…

Sweet desserts

Please provide a sentence or phrase that requires translation, and I will be happy to assist you.

On my way back, feeling discouraged, I stumbled upon this shop. No ice cream, but some snacks will do!

Channar Puli

Channar Puli is a sweet made from flour, milk, butter, and sugar. The dough is kneaded, then deep-fried, and finally dipped in sugar syrup.

The taste is similar to Thai "Thong Yod", but with a hint of spices.

Sweet, juicy, and soaked in syrup.

This dish is similar to the Channar Puli above, but it also includes grated coconut. The name of this dish is uncertain.

Sweeter than the first one.

Sweet Laddu

Made from various ground beans, stirred in boiled sugar, with butter, flour, and various spices, then shaped into round balls.

Sweet and nutty roasted peanuts

Plain Barfi

Barfi is a type of sweet confection made from milk and sugar, which is boiled until it thickens. It is known as "milk fudge" in English.

A sheet of edible silver is called vark/varak.

Sweet and creamy milk tea, not overly sweet like the first two. My favorite in this shop. 10 rupees.

The last piece, name unknown.

The old man kept buying and buying, standing in the sun to taste the food in front of the shop. So I gave him this dish as a bonus and shook my head disapprovingly.

The dough is crispy and puffy, the filling is coarsely ground, soft, and sweet. It's a unique experience.

After spending around 40 rupees, the sugar level surged, the legs were energized, and the journey could continue.

Rice and curry shop on the side of the road Hauz Qazi Chowk

Coordinates: 28.6492796, 77.2264822

Walking from the bakery to catch the subway at the roundabout.

Uncle Bear wanted to try some savory snacks to cleanse his palate, so he stopped by a small stall with a few tables for standing and eating in the back.

A plate of lentil curry with rice for 20 rupees.

The following is a translation of the provided Thai text into English:

"The salty and savory green curry is delicious. The spiciness of the green sauce is a perfect contrast to the creamy coconut milk. The fluffy jasmine rice complements the curry perfectly."

We stand eating rice in the middle of an intersection, surrounded by garbage and the constant sound of car horns.

Paradoxically, I felt an unexpected sense of calm and relaxation, likely due to my gradual adaptation.

India, I have arrived.

After finishing his meal, He-Mi caught the eye of a young Indian man. They exchanged greetings, but it was unclear what they said to each other.

An Indian man ordered potato curry and fried puri bread to treat us.

The salty flavor was spicier than the first serving of bean curry, and there was also a cup of salt mixed with spices on the table as a condiment.

May I take a commemorative photo? He is actually handsome, but this photo is not taken from a good angle.

( Handsome angle in the picture above the shop front, the person holding up two fingers )

The first half is over, and my stomach is still safe and sound.

The user wants a translation from Thai to English, but without changing the HTML structure.

Here's the translated text:

Even though today was tiring, I got lost, and I couldn't find the ice cream shop I was looking for.

However, Ajie has started to develop a slight fondness for India.

The second half will take you to taste the homestay food in Agra city and the end of the journey with Ajie.
