The balance of spices and the generous dollops of butter made this dish irresistible, a true comfort food ideal for the monsoon.

There’s something magical about pakodas in the rainy season, and these did not disappoint. The crispy exterior and soft paneer inside were a perfect combination. Each bite was a reminder of why pakodas are a monsoon favorite.
Khoya Ghewar: A Guilt-Free Indulgence
We ended our chaat spree with khoya ghewar, a sweet delight that surpassed our expectations. This ghewar was not just a dessert; it was a celebration on a plate. Topped with generous amounts of khoya and pistachios, every bite melted in our mouths, offering a perfect balance of crispiness and indulgent sweetness.
