Parathewali Gali – literally means – a narrow lane where they have Parathas! And that is just what it is – a narrow alley where there are a few shops that are known to have some very famous parathas.
So going into the history, Parathewali Gali is in the heart of Chandini Chowk, the oldest and the busiest markets in India. The “parathewala” shops have been around for five or six generations and what is more amazing is the variety of flavors they carry. Pause the video and take a look, and get ready to be amazed.
Wow, this post is pleasant, my sister is analyzing
these things, thus I am going to inform her.
The recipe is good. I never knew that parantha will be good by deep frying. I wound usually make an optimum and normal fry. I will have to try this out now, I have just placed an order for online ingredients from http://qusec.in/ and will try it by tomorrow.
Thanks.
Fine. Insightful
Hi Anuja,
Stop teasing us by trying all that yummy food. Just kidding. I love all theses authentic food. If you are there in old Delhi then do try chaat. It’s known for that too..
Dimpi
Is that recommended? Freshly fried food I think is okay because the heat kills the bugs, but I have to resist the temptation of the chaat or pain puri stall because of the water used in the chutney…..
It seems my comments have irked atleast one person here. I wasn’t trying to critize Anuja in any way for enjoying the food. I have enjoyed street food on many occasions and certainly enjoy pakoras, if not puris. In fact, I have been taught that if I do have to eat street food, it is always better to go for something that is freshly fried and served than for something that has been sitting around.
I found the greasiness of the parathas sickening and I said so. But then, I don’t enjoy fried food in general very much. So maybe, it’s just me. I am sure Anuja had no problem with my point of view.
I so enjoy watching your show and learning about the different foods and styles of cooking Indian food. It is one of my fav!!
Keep up the good work!
I could feel my mouth watering watching you eat those yummy paranthas !! Wish there was a way to share food thru the monitor π
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Deepti,
Yes, I wish there was a way of doing that too, then I’d definitely share with all of you π
You’re too sweet for offering to share, Anuja. I definitely wouldn’t!! I’m greedy, especially when it comes to parathas π And then there’s ghee! You just made a pregnant lady very very hungry(20 minutes after lunch)!

Looks so yummy! Pregnant lady hungry, believe me, I am too, just 5 min after dinner. The potato sabzi looks yum too!
Anuja, u are looking so pretty!
Hello there,
I will be in Delhi between Feb 19 and Feb 28. I was wondering if we could meet up ?
Maybe in Old Delhi and I could tell you how much you have influenced me and I now know how to cook indian food for my Punjabi husband. We are coming from Toronto Canada and I think this might be an interesting clip to show on your channel
Sincerely,
Faye Korman (I am Gori!) Canadian born
let me know
: )
Hi Faye,
Sure, I’d love to meet with you – love meeting our viewers π
Could we take this to an email please…email me at Anuja@34.233.61.50
Take Care
Hello there Anuja,
Just sent you a private email so we can meet up in India.
Let me know how you would like to connect over there…..
Sincerely,
Faye
Hello there Anuja,
Let me know how you would like to connect over there…..
Old Delhi looks like a great meeting spot, as I have to try something similar to what you were eating.
Food makes me dance and sing too!…maybe a little too much!
Sincerely,
Faye
Some more videos of indian street food. Really enjoying just by watching you eat along with recipes.
Hi Sheshu,
Glad you are enjoying them π
I was intrigued to learn about a whole gali known for its parathas. However, the greasiness of the parathas just sickened me. I would not have been able to enjoy that paratha, no matter how tasty. But of course, to each his/her own…..
Do you enjoy poori or pakoda? Does that sicken you?!!! Yes, even I found it surprising but no need to be so negative on food that so many people eat.
Hi nkalil,
We understand that street foods can sometimes be unhygienic and unhealthy and that is why it is not an everyday food but like you say, to each their own π
I think the two replies misinterpreted what nkalil was saying. The fact that it was FRIED was her concern.
Some people, myself included, have digestive difficulty with fatty foods like fried foods. Eating something with this much oil on/in it, for me, would require a cup of plain vegetables or 2 slices of plain bread in order to “line” my stomach and enable me to avoid severe pain. It appears she meant to say that she is not able to tolerate the high level of oil soaked up by such a soft preparation during the cooking process.
I love parathas…I just have to be mindful when I eat them with a meal to balance out the oil with less rich dishes.
OMG They Deep Fry Paranthas…!
YES! and that too, in ghee!!!! But, they are wonderful π
There was so much choice but I could only eat 1….. π
Hai Delhi yaad aagayi!! Miss Delhi food. So Boring here in Melbourne
wow! Its interesting. Will give this a try.
Oh Padma, you must try!
