We usually need to drive all the way to Agra to get good quality flavored ones. (no we don’t go there often) Outside of Agra, I’m not sure if you’ll find the taste. Maybe in Old Delhi you can find :thinking:

I had only visited Delhi once, and that too for some sort of conference in IIT Delhi. When returning back via train, Agra was crossed at around 1:00 AM, hence we ( Me and Dad ) only grabbed the classic one.

3. Another milk based sweet, Rasmalai.

4. Almond Phirni. It is thicker verdion of kheer, with high concentration of coconut gratings.

Signature dish.

This is Dahi Vada. It is made up of Urad Dal and Curd.
Flavors which we can feel are :

  1. Sweet
  2. Salty(slight)
  3. Spicy,
  4. Soury, due to tamarind.

This is most enjoyable dish for me, as it provides various flavors in single serving.

tl;dr of the recipe

Take curd, add some water, sugar, and some spices if you like. Beat to form a consistent mixture.

Soak peeled black gram overnight. Grind them to paste. Make cookie sized pieces and fry.

This thing is called “vada”. After frying, soak in water to remove excess oil. Take them out, gently squeeze, and put in the curd mixture.

This will give you a very basic version. Of course, you can go as extravagant as you like. Add more spices, dry fruits, garnish with chutney etc etc
