The culinary style of Bengal is diverse, especially when it comes to their main course. Moreover, they follow a multi-course tradition where the food is eaten in a specific order. The rice (being the staple food) is eaten with a variety of Bhaja (Vegetables fried in mustard oil) at first. Followed by Saag (Spinach fried in mustard oil and black cumin seeds). Then comes the Shukto, a mixture of vegetable prepared in a special spice called Paanch Phoron. Followed by Maach or Mangsho (Fish or Mutton/ Chicken curry). The meal ends with Chutney that is sweet and sour and mainly made of Tomatoes along with Kheer (Rice pudding) or any Bengali sweet.

The land – Khasra No 258 spills out the Parisian scent from every nook. This hidden gem is known as ‘Champa Gali’ is located in the Lane no.3 of Saidulajab (a village in Saket).

Last month my friend @sketchesintravel visited Delhi and asked me to show him few interesting places around the city. So, I decided to take him around a short heritage walk through the lanes of Delhi. We started the day early as we had to cover 8 spots which included two food stops. I was meeting everyone at INA metro station which was midway and then, I was to take up the responsibility of driving everyone around for the day from there.
