"you can smell the streets of old Delhi and taste the amazing food through the pages of this remarkable book". Vir Sanghvi

One of the great highlights of the winter is a heavenly milky dessert that makes a brief but unforgettable earthly appearance in the gullies of Old Delhi almost as soon as the last Diwali firecracker has fizzled. from then until Holi, the daulat ki chaat vendors wander through the bazaars, their snowy platters dazzling in the pale sunshine, as if a dozen small, perfectly formed clouds have dropped from the sky.

Daulat ki chaat (meaning 'snack of wealth) is probably Old Delhi's most surprising street food. Anyone expecting the punchy, spicy flavours usually suggested by the word 'chaat' will be disappointed. It resembles uncooked meringue and the taste is shocking in its subtlety, more molecular gastronomy than raunchy street food, a light foam that disappears instantly on the tongue, leaving behind the merest hint of sweetness, cream, saffron, sugar and nuts.

Fantastisch boek - engelstalig - voor al wie van streetfood/Old Delhi of India houdt. Of de combi natuurlijk.
Mooie handleiding om zelf op zoek te gaan naar de besproken streetfoodplekjes of zelf receptjes thuis uit te proberen.

12 verhalen - 12 plekken - 12 recepten.
om van te smullen.
en zo het vliegtuig naar India te willen nemen.
