People often say to get in Varanasi can be a bit overwhelming and divine. You are greeted by chaos,Ancient and Famous Eating Joints in Varanasi Articles colors, spirituality and the feeling of a step back in time. Varanasi is India's oldest city, located along the famous River Ganges. It is indeed a beautiful city located in the state of Uttar Pradesh in northeastern India. Once you come here, you can breathe and experience ages have seen the city. From street to street it looks like a maze that opens new windows visions of cultural diversity, opens spirituality and wondering what it has to offer. You will be surprised to find an example that shows the diversity of this place. I had one of my best dosas (a dish from southern India) and Chole Kulche (Punjabi dish) in this city heart of northern India. It is more like a museum of human history, cultures and diversity.

I would like to share my experience of visiting this holy city that has much to offer. I visited this place during the winter and the experience was overwhelming. Bring it all to you some of the joints very special food are not 5 star restaurants but they are so authentic and really that makes you experience how it's an ordinary man in a true sense.

Budhiya ki Kachori

Chachi Ki Dukan in Lanka is famous for the motherly lady who was lovingly called Chachi (Aunt). It is said that this chachi is used to make delicious kachori sabzi and jalebis and serve warm and fresh to customers directly from the ships on the plate. As past says, while serving food to the people who used to shame and use a stupid one, but I used to have love and blessings in abundance like that of a mother. People used to remember when I question Chachi ki Kachori about love and food from home.

Returning to the present, this store is a small team of Chachi members of the family who performed the inheritance she did. They are now managing the family business after chachi has gone to a heavenly place of residence. The relatives churn warm water and freshly rolling subzi kachoris on one side and crispy hot syrup dripping syrup on the other side of a narrow little shop. They served with the same love and Kachori-Sabzi were made with the same recipe that the Chachi used many years ago.

HOW TO REACH?

This shop is well-known in Varanasi and Lanka, which is the equivalent of 'Road Mall' located opposite the BHU University College (Banaras Hindu University). You will explain in detail here all kinds of fancy restaurants, food stalls and bookstores next to the shopping street or student services in one place. The end of the road divides into three routes to Saamne ghat, Nagwa and Sankatmochan temple road. Once you walk in the road you will find the two Sankatmochan stores and see Jalebi Kachori immediately at the beginning of the road that looks almost identical. It has more people waiting, that's the very famous Chachi Kachori store. If you are in Varanasi, do not do this experience "Benarasi Breakfast", which is tempting and full of love.

BLUE TENT LASSI

A small yogurt shop with a hole in the wall that is making the freshest, creamy, full of fruit and flavor since 1925.


Let me introduce now the famous lassi store in Varanasi, a group serving the same recipes for three generations or for more than 90 years. The owner himself is doing lassi in the same place his father ever did, and his father did for him. While the process has been passed down from generation to generation, Blue Lassi lived up to its position with flag and pennant and expanded its menu to 83 flavors and varieties of Lassi. The best part is that every taste fresh is made by hand right in front of your nose. You will find plenty of options to customize and make your own mix. In the store there are pictures of old grandpa Lassi, who left the whole business and sincere messages and pictures by travelers from all over the world.
While many modern lassis are now being hit in a blender - "Lassi blue" still crushes the fruits by hand and use a large wooden stick to finally prepare a handi steel (tool). A fruit added homemade yogurt, some sugar and finally add the heaven cream 'malai' that is shaped like a thick layer on top of the drink sky. Finally, the final product is decorated with everything on it and on its pistachios and served in traditional clay bowl. Blue Lassi is worth a visit.

I tried black grapes, prepared lassi that insisted the shop owner on one of the most requested flavors. To my experience was smooth, creamy, earthy and delicious. Malai added on top of it gave a creamy texture, thick enough to eat with a wooden spoon and almost the right to glow consistency. If you're impressed in the market for a milk snake, then it's the perfect drink for you;). I'm sure you would be hard pressed to find a better lassi-wallah in the city of Blue Lassi

HOW TO GET THERE?

I can give you directions, a map and even the direction of this place, but probably would not help him in Varanasi. Just go to the old city and the burning ghats, explore the network of alleys and soon collect posters for Blue Lassi Shop, which is probably the most good sign store in Varanasi. Any fan of Indian food, or even anyone with taste buds should try this decent food in Varanasi! This place really has a lot to offer to each other from spirituality and holy places
