Culinary Adventures - Varanasi

In this hallowed city of Lord Shiva the ascetic, don’t expect to find non-vegetarian exotica. Instead, prepare your palate for a slew of mouth-watering vegetarian delights ranging from street food to seasonal dishes like nimona (green cholia) to a fabulous range of mithai (sweets)—chased by that lovingly prepared digestive, the Benarasi paan. The city has evolved its own niche in India’s culinary profile. We know Varanasi for its attention to simple but nourishing food. The beauty of it lies in the flavours and freshness still evident because of the light hand with the oil and spices. And, of course, they don’t use garlic and onions. Good old-fashioned Satvik food which keeps the mind clean and open to receive the message of the gods!

In Varanasi, breakfast is king...and what a kingly breakfast it turns out to be...puris and kachoris with delicious sabzi, then jalebis and rabri as dessert...all washed down with a tumbler full of thandai or lassi.

Street food reaches another level in the tightly twisted gallis behind the ghats of Varanasi—reach for its famous chivda-matar, basket chaat and even the tamatar ki chaat. Grab a sherbet to cool that tingling palatel In winter, sit in the sun over glasses of kanji.

Feast with friends on baingan ke lUnge, arbi dum kevati or kachnar kali ki tarkari. Tuck into chandrakala, kheer kadam, malpua and laung lata—fresh from the local halwai...and forget the calories.
