We followed up with yet another sweet: kheer, set in little earthen bowls, from a stall called Nasir, a few steps down from the imartiwallah. Kheer is a favourite of mine {not surprising, considering I like milk sweets, and don’t like my desserts too sugary or ghee-laden}. While this was decent kheer {and with a little sliver of chaandi ka varq on it, too}, it wasn’t the best I’ve had: it was thick enough to be phirni, really, and could possibly have done with a hint of cardamom in it.

That, therefore, was the walk. Interesting, full of discoveries {the Moradabadi biryani was a revelation}, and with some absolutely delicious food. I’ll be going back for the biryani, and for the kababs at Kit Care, certainly. And I’m going to be keeping an eye out for other interesting walks with Delhi Food Walks. This is definitely my cup of tea.
