Paranthe Wali Gali

Just like there can be an infinite number of dosa varieties, in PGW you will find an infinite number of parantha varieties! Enjoy the types, varieties and the customisations that you can get here! all the restaurants are very rustic but the taste of the paranthas is strong and I recommend trying the very unusual ones. I am very glad I did because it was a great experience. The parathas were delicious, hot fresh, traditional flat bread, numerous stuffings to choose from. This is a small lane right off of Chandni Chowk. If I did not use Google maps I would have missed it. There were several places on the lane to eat, I chose the one with the longest line and it did not disappoint.

The food is good and it strictly follows vegetarian, and cooked dishes do not include onions, since the owners are Brahmins, who do not eat the food cooked with onion and Jain people also live in the neighborhood. Street is very narrow walking is needed to reach here. Varieties include kaju, badam, matar, Mix Paranthas, rabri, khoya parantha, gobhi parantha, Parat parantha, etc. The parantha is usually served with sweet tamarind chutney, mint chutney, mixed vegetable pickle, paneer and potato curry, potato and fenugreek curry, and a sauteed mash of sweet pumpkin. Sweet Lassi, often served in khulhars, is also a specialty of this place. Of the 20 Paratha shops in the Paranthe Wali Gali, Chandani Chowk during late 1960s, only three remain today: Pandit Kanhaiyalal Durgaprasad Dixit (estd 1875), Pandit Gaya Prasad Shivcharan (estd 1882) and Pandit Baburam Devidayal Paranthewale (estd 1886). It is believed that all Parantha shops belong the same family. Pt.
