This place is teeming with activities and many people would not like to miss this part of town on their trip to Delhi. The street is quite narrow with small and simple restaurants on either side of the lane. Apart from the parathas there are other delicacies available such as samosas and jalebi (a type of Indian sweet). Many of the restaurants have been in business since three centuries with the art of making parathas passing from one generation to the next.

It is what is left after the heavy fats of butter are removed. Ghee is the lightest oil known to mankind. It is lighter than flax oil, read more olive oil, almond oil, and coconut oil. There is extensive research done which proves that ghee actually reduces cholesterol rather than increasing it.
