Punjabi food culture popularly known as north Indian cuisine in different parts of world is hard to ignore. Amritsar popularly known as the food capital of punjab and is famous for authentic flavors of Punjabi cuisines and their culture. Our journey in covering food adventure of Amritsar the food capital of punjab was short, so we were focusing only on the famous cuisines while traveling delhi to amritsar by road .

Breakfast at zhilmil karnal

As we leave early from Delhi  we were unable to stop at murthal which is famous for punjabi dhabha’s serving variety of tandoori paranthas . Our next favorite place to have breakfast is zhilmil dhabha in karnal . Although this place doesn’t have the kind of interiors compared to the likes of amrik Sukhdev  and Haveli in murthal , but still it offers a good variety of paranthas, pakoras and lassi is a must try.  #Ambience7/10#Service8/10#Taste9/10#PocketFriendly9/

As we reached Amritsar the food capital of punjab we went to multi level car parking because roaming in car for food journey is impossible. Then we went to our room get fresh and went  straight to golden temple. The Golden Temple is not only a central religious place   of  sikhs, but also a symbol of humanity brotherhood and equality. Langar is served  24 hrs a day and everybody irrespective of cast,creed or race are welcome to sit and  eat. The best part is Khada Prasad to me, every sikh religion place serve “wheat and desi ghee halwa” called Khada Prasad.

As the sun rises in Amritsar the food capital of punjab we do a quick walk around the temple by taking morning blessing and having a  economical coffee offered by Nescafe at The Golden Temple gates.  For breakfast we started with famous kulcha in amritsar at Bhai kulwant singh kuchawala .This place opens at 8:00 am and luckily we were before time. The menu here is limited to few kulcha’s . One serving plate comes with a tandoori baked kulcha bread and stuffing you can choose  while ordering, the crispy and crunchy of kulcha bread is awesome and the chole (chick pea) and onion chutney served along is the heart of the dish.   

Mine recommendation is alloo kulcha and paneer kulcha. Although all kulcha’s must try as they are famous kulcha corner amritsar punjab.

Next we went for a quick glance of Jaliawala Bagh which is converted in a beautiful memorial park, locals comes for morning walk and also yoga session were going on, and afterward we went towards market, Amritsar market is totally changed, the rickshaw pullers are not allowed in the market area near Golden Temple which makes the market less crowded and clean also. All the shops near Golden Temple are re-designed. After hours  of wandering in the market, we feel thirsty and what is better than a chilled glass of lassi. There were many small lassi vendors at the market  but I prefer Bhai Bean Singh Kulcha Wala Lassi, its near by Golden Temple their kulcha’s are not that great but the lassi is too awesome. Lassi served in a huge glass and the texture is so creamy and fresh, that you feel full  after drinking half glass.

Lunch at Kesar Da Dhaba

Its one of the oldest place in Amritsar the food capital of punjab, you will always find a waiting line because of such a huge popularity. The reaching route from Golden Temple to kesar is difficult and only rickshaw pullers can take you to the destinations. It is worth waiting at kesar because the food served is authentic. This place is the literal definition of

“Food Heaven” . We ordered parantha thali which comes with two lacha parantha, dal makhni, chole, curd,and salad an perfect mixture of authentic punjabi thali. The quantity of desi ghee in whole thali was huge making every serving so heavy and filling.

The famous Dal Makhani  of kesar which is prepared in 24 hours is  perfect.Every item in their menu is worth try. Best part is I surprisingly love is their lassi. The lassi was so good that it  reminds me Delhi cant Aggarwal lassi wala.
