The unofficial food capital of India- Amritsar

New Delhi: The variety, quality, taste of the food of the Golden Temple city is unmatched. The Amritsari Kulchas, Lassi, Amritsari Fish/Paneer have featured on menus of restaurants across India but very few have been able to get close to the real taste you get in Amritsar. Food and Amritsar have become synonymous.Eating at Amritsar means a day full of gastronomic delights and that too pocket friendly. Eating out has become a culture of Amritsar people. This does not mean eating at a fine dining restaurant with family or friends, this means enjoying the mouth watering and spicy delicacies on the street. The best part of the street food is that it is hygienic and pure. Another interesting fact about eating Amritsar food is that, despite the heavy meals, they are easily digestive. People say it is the pure water of the city which makes the meals easily digestible. Your food experience in Amritsar would be incomplete if you don't check out these eating joints: Kesar da Dhaba: It is very popular among North Indians. It is located at the small back lane close to the telephone exchange. One needs a Punjabi appetite to eat at this place because the food is afloat with Pure Desi Ghee. Amritsari kulcha, dal, paneer, chhole are served in a thali. The dhaba serves only vegetarian food. It is the kind of food that only rural people in Punjab eat who work in the field all day. Bharawaan da Dhaba: It is prominently close to the Golden temple. The taste of foods is similar to Kesar da dhaba but it is much lighter, suited for tourists coming from metros. Bharawaan da DhabaThe lip smacking food at the DhabaAmritsari Lassi served with ThaliThe thali served at KanhaKanha sweets: It is the best place for having breakfast on a Sunday morning when mommys are too lazy to cook. Poori chhole/ alloo poori is served with Amritsari Lassi which is mouthwatering. Makhan fish: Functional since 1976, it is the most sought after place for the famous Amritsari Fried Fish in the city. It serves tempting Indian and Punjabi cuisine with a warm welcome and crisp service. The Fish specialities like Fish Fried, Fish Tandoori and Fish Chilly are made in pure Mustard oil while the Chicken specialities like Butter Chicken, Karahi Chicken, Curry Chicken, Masala Chicken and Lemon Chicken are made in pure Desi Ghee. Check out Ujagar Singh and Karam Singh's shop for the famous Amritsari Warian (sundried lentil dumplings), Papad and Rumali Sevian. They stock innumerable variety of Papad and Warian. You can choose both. It depends on how much spice you can stomach. Another dairy-centric Amritsar speciality is the fruit cream. You can either get it frozen like ice cream or as a more viscous and luscious concoction. To find the best, head straight to Lohgarh Road where there are three fruit cream guys next to each other—and pick Rana. The frozen variety you get next door or at Durga and Sukh Ram (aka Pehelwan's) on Lawrence Road are all equally good.So, for all the foodies, eat like a giant, because this food you might not want to miss in the world.
