Appreciating Locals
We all keep rushing for Labels and Brands. In that, we tend to miss the locals, which can sometimes be equally good or even better than what we get at big brands.
Not all of us have the money to open a big business but that doesn't mean our talent cannot be showcased and will not be appreciated. Money can promote talent but cannot create it, right?
Recently, I was just passing by a block in Delhi and I was super hungry. I didn't have the time to stop at a fancy restaurant, I was in a rush. So I decided to stop my car at any random thela (stall) and grab a quick meal. To my surprise, it was one of the best meals I have had in days.
So this guy was serving chole kulcha (Chick Peas with Bread). Chole Kulcha is very famous and common street food, one can find it at every nook and corner in Delhi. But this one was different. So this guy didn't only heat and cook the kulchas (bread) in butter but also in tomato & onion masala which made the bread super yummy and very different. Let me show you some pictures.
These are the yummy breads I was talking about!
This is me relishing my meal 🤣
This is how a serving looked like, delicious at the looks only!
The yummy chick peas 😋
And the Kulcha!
It was one hell of a meal I must say. We must give chance to such local vendors, they don't have money to invest and grow their business big but the amount of talent they have is something you and I cannot beat.
Your food looks delicious. I like food from food vendors.
Me too, and we all must appreciate and encourage them to boost their career and earnings.
Lol...you look very happy...I can see it in your eyes.
We should all learn that all that glitters isn't gold. Especially when a vendor is putting in the effort to be neat and tasty like tge one you have here.
I tried some unnamed brands on Saturday and I didn't regret it. However there was a meal I had yesterday that is making me guard the toilet now and I only ate from a vendor too...so it's best you know the good ones and stick with them
Ya, that can happen at times, I', sorry you got sick, hoping for a sooner recovery. But that can happen at a 5-start hotel too. May be it wasn't your day.
Yeah...maybe it wasn't I'll take some anti motility drugs soon though
Thanks for the concern
It looks pretty yummy!!
Now I'm eager to get a big bite from the chole kulcha.
Yeah that's true, we always make the mistake of thinking that of it's branded it's a lot better. I've noticed that the branded foods sometimes get tiring because they follow a certain pattern. Roadside food is alive and it's done with a lot of love.
I know some road side foods aren't great because of some unhealthy methods or the unhealthy surroundings they're in but men its good to try them out sometime.
Lol, I can't stop starring at the pictures, I'm even licking my screen.
Thanks for sharing
Haha, how do they taste on screen? :P LOL..
But I agree, roadside food can be bad at times, but it's ok, there's no guarantee of food that you are getting to eat in good hotels as well. Even the brands do disasters at time.
Lol it tastes really want o!!..Im even asking for more.
Yeah that's true, we can never be too sure about what they're selling to us in branded forms.
Ómo, it's good to go to the streets and have fun and enjoy the wonderful tastes of wonderful delicious delicacies.
Enjoy
Your food looks yummy! Even I like eating Chole Kulche a lot! :)
If you ever visit Delhi, do ask me for this place.
Wow, the foods look so good! I agree too, in our area, lots of people love eating at McDonald's and other chain restaurants, bu my family and I try to steer away from those and eat at authentic local restaurants because not only do they taste better, they also give a better price for their foods.
We should promote and encourage small entrepreneurs too.
Yes, we really should.
Oh, it looks really yummy yummy!!!
I would have thanked you if I had made these :D
Man that looks so good it made me drool....
