I
love Jalebis, many people have confessed cheating their daily diet routine sometimes. They may not be high on the health food list, but who can
resist a hot fresh jalebi? Not me, especially on a cold February morning. But I'll confess this to you: I love jalebi so much, I'll eat
them even in July. You must have eaten Jalebis many a times at different place and would have loved the taste also. However, all things being equal, the best Jalebis in Delhi may well be at Jalebi Wala in Chandni Chowk only.
Jalebi Wala has had a facelift in the last couple of years--new sign, etc. I liked it better before. But it's still well worth checking out, because the jalebis there are outstanding. Old Delhi jalebis are different in subtle ways from what you find elsewhere in Delhi. You can find Jalebi Wala on Chandni Chowk, between the Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib and Red Fort, it's on the right if you are walking toward Red Fort.
Jalebi Wala is fairly a simple places. No AC, no need for plastic forks or spoons--fingers are sufficient. And if you look at it, Old Delhi is a pretty green place. High population density in cities means more room in the countryside for farms and forests. Also, Old Delhi is full of non-motorized transportation. But there's a larger point I want to make. Sure, jalebis are unnecessary. They are a luxury. But a little luxury is good for us. It's the five star hotels and airlines that will ruin the world in the long run. Jalebis? We can live with them forever!!!
