Shyam Sweets
When it comes to street food, smart travellers follow the crowds into the tangled Medieval lanes of Old Delhi for the city’s best portable feasts. In the Chawri Bazar, famous for brassware, cooking pots and paper, Shyam Sweets is legendary for both its lip-smacking ladoos (Indian sweets) and its bedmi poori (fried, puffed-up bread made with wheat and urad lentil flour, and served with a spicy potato side for dipping). Four generations of chefs have guarded the family recipe, which includes dried red chilli and cumin.
