While at Lodhi road I saw a lil traffic jam... going further inside the Sai Baba's Mandir I found this...
Well I've always argued that Delhi USP doesn't lies in its expensive resturants but rather in the street food, I stopped by one to have some... The thing being fried is Kulchas and and the balls are called "Laddos" made out of fermented lentil floor and served with spicy mint chutney and grated reddish.
