#Chai stalls in Delhi

Solace at hill, under the Moonlight

Hello,

Nice to meet you all. It’s been a long time coming. I have been procrastinating from past year. Something we shouldn’t be proud of and I’m not either but that’s how I found the courage to take the first step and let the rest fall in time.

My first solo trip. A trip for which all the arrangements were made at the very last moment, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that it was in my mind long before I started talking about it.

A Solo trip, like everyone else I am hoping to find myself and have a better answer for WHO I AM which includes more than my profession. Well, that’s what I thought before going on one and seeing multiple videos about it. I got the idea of going on this trip from my mom. She is the one who bought a trekking bag for me. The moment I saw the bag a scene from “Yeh Jawani Hai Dewani” flashed when Bunny got a bag from his father with the list of things, he should be careful of. Well! That’s exactly the case with my mom. On one hand, she is one who taught me to live my life on my terms but at the same time, she was worried. Still, she helped me pack my stuff and cooked dinner for me to eat later at night while traveling. 

I booked a cab and left my home with the hope to have the best time of my life. I was not scared rather I was excited to embark on this beautiful journey. I reached the station 1 hour before bus timings, like any typical Indian. Hahaha… and as I was standing at the bus stop after covering a 2-hour journey via cab and a metro as far as I could see I couldn’t find anyone who was standing alone with the heavy bag on their shoulder. All I could see was a group of friends laughing, eating Cheetos, and making fun of each other, while their eyes were shining brighter than the sun and their souls were beaming with light. Like, everything is perfect as it should be. And as I was focused on them, suddenly I heard a lady in a yellow saree and a red cardigan, with a big red bindi on her forehead and kajal in her eyes. She seems like a goddess at first glance. She was shouting at her son who was wearing a thin white T-shirt, blue jeans, and Black shoes. She was forcing him to buy the gloves and cap so that he won’t be cold and as usual like any other teenager he was acting as if he don’t know her.

Gosh! I remembered my first trip with my friends, my mother gave me a blanket even though she knew that I was going to have a blanket on the bus and at the hotel, but she insisted. Without saying anything I packed it with other essentials because deep down I knew it was her way of saying to be safe and extra careful and don’t you dare catch a cold.

While looking at everyone around me, I was like a river, my heart was racing, and my mind was calm and eager to meet new people. A Moment of peace, and with that thought I started my journey from Delhi to Triund.

I’ll explain the logistics in another article.

I sat on the bus and noted there were very few people who were on my bus. I thought not a very good start ha.. but let’s see what the sunshine will bring the next day. I reached the Mcloedganj at 7 in the morning and started the Triund trek around 11 after having breakfast with a group of 9 people. Everyone with a different background, culture, career, and place. As we all move forward together, we shared who we are, most of them were Teachers, and there were a few athletes who aim to be army officers and a Businessperson.

Ohh!! Shoot. I forgot to mention one important guest who joined us.

Any guesses???

Well! There is one thing about that place and in fact most of the mountains in North India that we always found a four-legged friend who will join us for the ride. And that’s what happened, a dog joined us along the way and made our journey more fun, and without realizing it, he became the center of the group. 

The weather was pleasing.

 Green grass, blue sky, rocky roads, heavy breaths, soothing music, chai stalls, colorful small buds, and a will to reach the top.

That’s how the journey was. It’s like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don’t know what was in the air up there, but everything seems peacefully intriguing. As the air was brushing against my cheeks and letting my hair set free. I could hear every thought, notice every moment, and soak it all in.

Why couldn’t we see all these things in our daily lives? As the eyes of the beholder are the same, maybe we are too busy or too tired to lift our heads and see the peace we all are looking for, is right within ourselves.       

From starting point to the base camp, the journey was filled with lots of emotions – We were tired but relentless. There were moments when everyone else around me disappear and it was just me walking uphill. Navigating on my own. Kind of, like Dora.

At that very moment, I didn’t want to have a distraction from the camera, I just wanted to walk and give my brain some rest as it has been sprinting for the past few months. I believe that’s what the trek was all about, teaching us to spend time with ourselves, and helping us to realize that it’s not only about the destination but the journey that teach us. It was a journey that bought 10 people with different backgrounds together. It was a journey where we all helped each other without any expectations.  

With this long ride, I learned to be present and not just show up. After all, this one life can slip away when we are not paying attention.

Anyway, as we continued to leave our footprints along the way and by having a sip of water WE FINALLY REACHED.

The feeling of accomplishment with the cold air brushing against our faces, was a vault heaven. It was a moment where we have our world. We found solace at the surface and floating at the top.

My world, was a girl sitting on top of the hill watching the sunset. It was serene. The colors – Yellow, Orange, mustard, dark brown, kind of black, shades of purple, blue, and white as well, then there it was a teeny tiny star above all. And it’s not all there was a full moon at the opposite end of this. Mesmerizing chaos.

And I realized that’s how poets gave birth to poetry.

They found the beauty in chaos,

Solace in the rain,

 and Silence in the words

 to keep the storm at shores.    

And as the sun went down, we had our dinner and sat around a bonfire under the moonlight creating magical moments. Later., we slept at the top of the hill, having chills but we were happy, peaceful, and unbothered.

                                                                                              To be continued…

Exploring the Soul of Delhi: A Journey Through the Lens of My Camera

Delhi, the vibrant heart of India, is a city that never fails to amaze its visitors. From its rich historical tapestry to the bustling modern-day life, it offers an unparalleled experience to anyone who steps into its dynamic folds.

As a passionate traveller and content writer, I recently embarked on a unique adventure that allowed me to capture the essence of this magnificent city through my camera.

This adventure was made possible by a meticulously planned Private Tour: the Delhi Photography Tour, which I booked through My Trip My Travel, a renowned travel agency based in India.

A Warm Welcome and the Start of Our Journey

The day began with excitement and anticipation. Our guide for the tour, Nitesh Jain, greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious enthusiasm that set the tone for the day.

Nitesh, with his extensive knowledge of Delhi and a keen eye for photography, promised an insightful and enriching experience.

We started our journey from the bustling streets of Old Delhi. Known for its chaotic charm and historical significance, Old Delhi is a place where the past and present coexist harmoniously.

As we navigated through its narrow lanes, Nitesh shared intriguing stories about the area’s history and culture, providing us with a deeper understanding of the places we were about to photograph.

The Vibrant Markets of Old Delhi

Our first stop was the fruit market, a riot of colours and fragrances. The market was a sensory overload in the best possible way.

Fresh fruits of every kind were piled high in vibrant displays, their colours so vivid they seemed to pop out of my camera’s viewfinder. Vendors shouted out their wares, creating a symphony of sounds that added to the lively atmosphere.

Nitesh encouraged us to capture candid moments – the interactions between buyers and sellers, the intricate arrangements of fruits, and the bustling activity all around.

Next, we ventured into the spice market. If the fruit market was a feast for the eyes, the spice market was a feast for the senses.

The air was thick with the rich aromas of spices, and the stalls were lined with an astonishing variety of powders and seeds, each more vibrant than the last.

Here, Nitesh taught us the art of capturing the texture and detail of these spices, turning everyday items into captivating subjects. We spent time focusing on the minute details, such as the intricate patterns formed by heaps of spices and the rustic charm of the market stalls.

Our final market stop was the textile market. This was a place where colours, patterns, and textures came together to create a visual symphony.

From luxurious silks to vibrant cotton, the fabrics were a photographer’s dream. Nitesh guided us on how to play with light and shadow to highlight the beauty of these textiles.

We experimented with different angles and compositions, capturing the elegance of the fabrics and the skill of the artisans who worked with them.

Capturing the Heartbeat of Delhi

While the markets were a major highlight, the tour also offered glimpses into the everyday life of Delhi’s residents.

We wandered through residential areas where children played in the streets and neighbors chatted over cups of chai.

These candid moments were a joy to capture, providing a more intimate look at the city’s soul.

Nitesh emphasized the importance of storytelling in photography, encouraging us to look beyond the surface and capture the emotions and stories behind each scene.

One of the most memorable parts of the tour was a visit to a small, hidden courtyard. This quiet spot, away from the hustle and bustle, offered a moment of tranquillity.

The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting beautiful patterns on the walls. It was a perfect place to practice capturing light and shadow, and we spent a peaceful half hour there, experimenting with different techniques under Nitesh’s guidance.

Refreshment and Reflection

After hours on our feet, exploring and photographing, the driver handed us cool bottles of water. This small gesture was incredibly refreshing and much appreciated.

It gave us a chance to sit down, review our photos, and share our experiences. Nitesh provided valuable feedback, helping us see how we could improve and what we had done well.

The Takeaway: A Deeper Connection with Delhi

The Private Tour: Delhi Photography Tour was more than just a photography expedition; it was an immersive experience that deepened my connection with Delhi.

It showed me the city’s hidden corners and everyday life, aspects that are often missed by tourists.

The guidance of Nitesh Jain was invaluable; his knowledge and passion for both Delhi and photography were evident in every aspect of the tour.

Booking through My Trip My Travel made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing a high-quality experience were evident from start to finish.

For anyone looking to explore Delhi beyond the usual tourist spots, and especially for photography enthusiasts, this tour is an absolute must. It offers a unique perspective on the city, one that is both personal and profoundly enriching.

As I reviewed my photos at the end of the day, I realized they were not just pictures but stories – stories of a city that is as diverse as it is beautiful. Delhi, with its myriad faces, had revealed itself to me, one frame at a time. And for that, I am deeply grateful.

Dear Future Pyaar❤️

Just thought I'd write you a little note thoda filmy style mein before we actually meet.

I hope you love chai as much as I do. Agar nahi, toh koi nahi , I'll make you a convert. Chai is bae, after all.

If you can tolerate my K-drama obsession, especially my random dialogues and funny dance moves , then you're already a keeper. Sarangeo❤️

I hope you're ready for our food adventures. From street food to fine dining, hum saath mein sab kuch try karenge. And yes, I will share my manchurian with you (sometimes).

We don't just travel to places; we travel to new cuisines. Samosa in Delhi, pizza in Italy, or momos in the hills- you name it, we'll eat it.

Hope you're up for binge watching shows and then arguing about what to watch next. K-Drama ya Bollywood movie? The eternal dilemma.

Be it beach or a bustling street, walking hand in hand, talking about everything and nothing - can't wait for those moments.

Just a heads-up, I'll drag you to every pani puri stall we see. And yes, the challenge is on to see who eats more!

Traditional Breakfast in North India - Kachori With Aloo Ki Sabji

Kachori is a flaky and crispy deep-fried Indian snack. It is usually served with chutney and yogurt or 'dubki wale aloo'. It can also be eaten with a cup of hot masala chai. You can find khasta kachori stalls on practically every street in Delhi's old town. They serve stuffed mung bean dumplings smothered in sweet yogurt and spiced chutneys. History of Kachori Kachori is a popular Indian street food that comes in both savory and sweet versions. These delicious dumplings are usually made with all-purpose flour aka maida and are filled with a variety of ingredients, depending on the region. They are served with spicy aloo curry and different types of chutneys. Kachoris are also a festive recipe that is often prepared for Holi and Diwali. Marwaris are credited with creating this tempting snack. They were traders from the western Indian state of Rajasthan who traveled across the country. They introduced kachoris to various regions and made them a part of the local cuisine. Over the years, this dish has been reimagined in many ways. Today, there are countless varieties of kachoris that are available across the country. The most common type of kachori is the Raj Kachori. This variant originated in Bikaner and can now be found in every corner of the country. It is stuffed with a combination of urad daal and moong dal along with Indian spices. It is topped with curd, green chutney, tamarind chutney, and pomegranate seeds. It is served as a tea time snack or during chaat parties. Another variation is the Mogar Kachori, which hails from Jodhpur. It is a little different from other varieties of kachoris, as it is richly filled with mawa and semolina. It is a very tasty dish that is often enjoyed with spicy aloo sabzi. Moreover, the Shegaon Kachori is a popular variant that is a favorite of people in West Bengal. This type of kachori is soft and is stuffed with peas. It is served as a tea time snacks and it is very filling. This kachori is usually accompanied by a cup of chai or a glass of milk. Other variations of kachoris include the pyaaz kachori, which is stuffed with chopped onion and mixed with a variety of Indian spices. It is commonly found in the states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The filling is then covered in a layer of dough and deep fried. It is a popular street food in the cities of Mathura and Vrindavan. Ingredients Required for Dough Kachori is a very popular north Indian dish.

Whether it was the tandoor cooked ones from dhabas on road trips or the pan-crisped version that my mother made at home, it always satisfied my hunger for a delicious and comforting meal. To make this recipe, you will need a few key ingredients. First, you will need to prepare the sabji. To do this, boil the potatoes and then mash them well. Then add the dry spices, chopped green chillies, ginger paste and salt to taste. Combine everything well and set it aside to cool. Next, you will need to prepare the dough for the kachoris. To do this, mix the refined flour with carom seeds, red chilli powder and a pinch of turmeric. Add oil to the mixture and knead it into a soft dough. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 20 minutes. Once the dough has cooled, divide it into small balls. Flatten each ball with a rolling pin and then scoop 2 tbsp of the prepared sabji into the centre. Bring the edges together and seal it by pressing and rolling. Repeat this process with the remaining dough. Once you have prepared the kachoris, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry them until golden brown. Serve them hot with the sabji and enjoy! Preparation of Kachori Kachori is one of the most loved street foods in North India, especially Rajasthan. This fried treat is a favorite with people on the go and pairs well with a cup of masala chai. It is also a good option for a quick indulging evening snack. The ingredients used in this recipe are a blend of yellow moong daal and spices stuffed in a flaky dough and deep-fried to perfection. While there are many varieties of this dish, the basic preparation remains the same. The ingredients are boiled and mixed together, the dough is stuffed with the mixture, and then deep fried until it turns golden brown and crisp. The final product is a delicious and crunchy snack that can be enjoyed on its own or with various Indian dishes such as aloo ki sabji, rajma sabzi, and pakoras. Most kachoris are made with urad dal as the main ingredient. They are then stuffed with a combination of different spices and vegetables to make them tastier. The savory and sweet flavors of the dish pair well with the spicy and creamy sabji. This makes kachori the perfect dish to eat during winter when the weather gets colder and you want something warm and filling. It is important to use fresh fine maida flour when making kachori to ensure the right texture and flavor. You can substitute it with wheat or atta flour but it will not give you the same flavor and crunch. The kachoris are best when eaten on the same day they are prepared. However, they can be stored in an airtight container and re-fried for later consumption. Another version of kachori that is popular in Jodhpur is the Mogar Kachori. It is filled with soaked moong daal and spices, fried and paired with a spicy aloo sabji. It is a popular breakfast in Rajasthan and can be found on the streets during morning hours for people to pick up on their way home. Other popular variations of kachori include the Kota Kachori and the Pyaaz Kachori. The former is a puffed version that is similar to a gol gappa and is typically eaten in the state of Rajasthan. The latter is a savoury kachori that has a puffed up shape and is made with onion and a lot of spices. Preparation of Aloo Sabzi Preparation of Aloo Sabzi: Our delectable Aloo Ki Sukhi Sabji makes for an easy and nutritious lunch or dinner option with its fresh ingredients and aromatic spices, making this recipe particularly appealing among kids. Perfect with Rotis or Pooris as well! Make this delicious sabji with just a handful of ingredients and in just minutes! For maximum efficiency, boil potatoes a day ahead and keep them chilled to speed up the cooking process. Additionally, the amount of spinach can be adjusted based on your personal preference; feel free to include kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) to customize this dish even further! An essential ingredient for creating delicious potato curry dishes is using high-grade potatoes with high wax contents that resist disintegration during stewing. Gold, red (romano) and Charlotte varieties of potatoes work best with this dish while russet varieties with lower wax content become soggy more quickly when left sitting for extended periods. Begin this recipe by heating oil on medium flame in a kadai/wok/pan and adding cumin seeds, asafoetida/hing, and cumin powder until they begin to crackle, adding chopped tomatoes, green chillis, ginger, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt before stirring for 3 minutes or so until the seeds start crackling again. Next add chopped potatoes gently tossed with spices before covering it for another 10-12 minutes on low heat before taking it off of heat and taking it off of heat! Read the full article
