Delicacies in the Pink City: Don't miss out on these when you're at #JaipurLiteratureFestival
Dal Baati Churma-Ghevar

PYAAZ KI KACHORI 

The best of pyaaz ki kachori are found at the Rawat Mishthan Bhandar located at Sindhi Camp. If you are short on time and don’t wish to spend your time in a queue outside the sweetshop near the central bus stand in Sindhi Camp, you can check out similar offerings at the outlets of Sodhani Sweets and Jodhpur Mishthan Bhandar.

LASSI

There are several on the Mirza Ismail Road, the central spine segregating the Walled City from the new. But the original one is housed in a corner outlet opposite the iconic restaurant, Niros. Ask for the regular kulhad (earthen glass) cause it’s going to be heavy and topped with cream.

KULHAD CHAI

You can also take in the rustic aroma of the hot kulhad chai at any of the outlets inside the Old City. Kulhad Chai is also served on the premises of the Diggi Palace, the festival venue, where you can indulge in the milk tea if you don’t have the time to hop out for a while.

GHEVAR 

One thing you should not have trouble hunting down is the famous sweet ghevar. This is an out-and-out Jaipur specialty that finds its way in the market around this time and the festive season. It looks like a bird nest made from all-purpose flour and dipped in sugar syrup. If you are in Jaipur you won’t be short of options on ghevar purchase. But your trip isn’t complete if you haven’t had the chance to taste the delectable sweet dish from the Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar aka LMB inside the Walled City. The sweet and crispy jalebis with hot milk or rabri is irresistible.
