Summer Delights of Old Delhi with Ramit Mitra
Details
This June, DelhiByFoot returns with “Twilight in the City” - a summer series dedicated to exploring the city after sunset.
As Delhi slows down under the weight of June afternoons, the city quietly begins another life at night, cooler, softer, more intimate, and filled with stories waiting to be stumbled upon. Through this series, we invite you to step out after-hours and experience a different rhythm of Delhi: one shaped by twilight, moonlight, long conversations, lingering poetry, hidden corners, and the strange magic that only arrives once it's dark!
For our 3rd walk of the series, we head into the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk to discover how generations of Delhites have survived, and celebrated the summer. From age-old cooling drinks and seasonal delicacies to stories of ingenious summer traditions that would be employed, be it the royals or the citizens; we'll explore the summery side of the city where history is best experienced one sip and bite at a time.
The unforgiving summer sun is beating down upon Delhi. Melons and Mangoes, Sherbets and Shikanji sellers have sprouted all over Delhi...Explore the variety and many innovations of summer coolers in the Mecca of Street Foods in Delhi, Delhi 6 or Purani Dilli!
Thandais, Kulfaas, Lassis and Chaats, all have come a long way from the times when the Khansamas and Hakims introduced them to keep the people well-fed and happy in the sweltering heat of Dilli and Agra...
DBF will take you through the cool, quiet alleys of Purani Dilli, savour the smells & tastes of a bygone era as you discover traditional summer chillers...recipes that have kept the royalty & commoners naturally satiated & happy since times of yore!
Zing-up your June Saturday with a Summer Vegetarian Foods sampling, delicacies that locals still prefer to use to cool-off during the hot afternoons...
