Matar kulcha
Delhi is also known as Delhi Belly for its spicy street food flavours. You will definitely see Matar kulcha being sold in the afternoon on a street corner, a street vendor near the bus stand or on a bicycle. Yes, it is very popular among the street foods of Delhi. Story of Matar Kulcha: In the middle of the nineteenth century, Kabuli chickpeas from Afghanistan came to Rawal Pindi and, when combined with special spices and ghee etc., came to be known as the famous Pindi Chole. In the next journey, these Pindi Cholas met Tandoori Naan Kulchas in Amritsar city. It cannot be said correctly why melons and leavened bread could not cross the cold.
Matar Kulcha, well later both of them became very famous. Seeing the taste and nutritious qualities of these two, Shai cooks got jobs in the special delicious food restaurants of the Mughal courts and Nizams. Both of them became friends like Jai and Veeru from the movie Sholay. This friendship continues till today. The world is witness, there seems to be a great friendship between the two even today.
Mughal emperors, Nizams of Hyderabad, and Nawabs of Awadh were very fond of food and its taste. His meaning was that the food item in which pure ghee and pure spices are left standing and semi-ground, in special utensils, and cooked on low flame for a long time, cannot taste good. Even an innocent thing like pulses was left to cook on low flame for 24 hours. And his own fragility was such that if he stepped on a banana peel, he would catch a cold. So in this way Pindi Chole Amritsari Tandoori Kulcha after partition came to Hindustan and settled here. When has the taste of food accepted the boundaries of any religion, caste or country?
