Old Famous Jalebi Wala

This century-old stall, which never sees a dull moment, has people from all over Delhi coming for its unique thick and crispy jalebis (Rs 150 per kg) made in desi ghee. The jalebis derive their uniqueness from the fact that the sheera (sugar syrup) doesn't permeate into the soft inner layers of the delicacy, thereby retaining the right balance between sweet and savoury. The Aloo-Matar Samosas (Rs 5 apiece) cooked in desi ghee are equally noteworthy.
