  • Support the channel and buy my ultimate Desi Delhi food guide here: maxmcfarlin.gumroad.com/l/24h... 🇮🇳 First morning in India, you're feeling hungry, so what do you do? You have to eat one of the most traditional breakfasts in northern India, of course! Chole bhature. You see shops selling this popular breakfast food everywhere you go in India, but for some reason in my time traveling here I never got to trying it. That was about to change today.
    After some research, I decided to take a rickshaw over to Kamla Nagar to try a famous shop called Om Di Hatti. From nearby my hotel in Paharganj, it was about a 5-6km ride. A rickshaw on Uber would have cost ₹150, or roughly $1.83. With a fair price in mind, I walked out to the main road and flagged down a rickshaw. After a bit of bargaining, I was able to get it for ₹250, roughly $3.05. These are hard working men driving amidst pollution and living far from their families. I'll take it.
    After getting on the rickshaw, I realized the driver didn't speak much English so I decided to switch to Hindi, which the driver was super impressed and happy with. I chatted with him and got to know he was originally from Bengal, and had been living in Delhi for 22 years, far from his family. I felt like he was a nice man so I decided to invite him for breakfast with me. He agreed.
    After arriving at the shop, I ordered two plates of chole bhature. The owners were serious but friendly, and the cooks were extremely happy and smiling when I spoke Hindi. Each plate was ₹90, or roughly $1.10. This is considered slightly expensive in India as far as I know.
    They serve the chole bhature on these nice-looking paper style plates and a paper-style bowl. One plate comes with a hefty serving of chole + aloo (chickpeas +), potato 2 giant bhature (the fluffy bread), mixed salad, and achar, which is pickled vegetables.
    Delhi in particular doesn't have much seating. I think this restaurant does have some places to sit and eat, but the rickshaw driver invited me over to sit on his rickshaw and eat so I obliged. He also was kind enough to help me hold the camera and film myself eating. This is something needed in India since food is eaten primarily with hands and there aren't places to set the camera down. He was a big help!
    The food itself was really good. I haven't ever eaten chole bhature before so I can't really compare it to other places, but the rickshaw driver agreed with me that it was about an 8/10. Not bad!
    Overall it was a great start to the day. Hope you enjoy.
