Gauri Sankar Kachuri Wale

The scent of frying besan and ghee marks Gauri Sankar Kachuri Wale. It occupies a modest, narrow storefront along the busy Bulanala road, recognizable by the constant crowd gathered around a massive, bubbling iron kadhai. This kitchen has served the same breakfast of deep-fried kachoris and spicy potato curry for over a century. Local shopkeepers and pilgrims alike stop here before the heat of the day sets in, eating their breakfast standing up on the sidewalk, balancing steel plates while dodging passing scooters.
