Alright so check it out
It’s Trevor James
I’m in Delhi, India
I just got here
And we are going for a full on food tour of Old Delhi
I’m so pumped
This is my first time here and there is so much to try
Old Delhi is a food lover’s heaven
In one afternoon
You can explore unchanged historical alleyways 
Packed with smells, sounds, and of course, street food
Here, Mughlai cuisine dominates as it has for centuries
And just walking through is going to leave you breathless and overwhelmed with excitement
At the amount of action happening around you
And at the eating possibilities
It’s all so packed together
That you can feast on a lot of delicious food
In a short amount of time
Let’s eat!
Alright so one of the things I’ve been looking forward to trying for so long
Is the Paratha
Just in this little famous lane here Paratha Wali Gali
Deep in Old Delhi
Let’s go check it out
Visiting Paratha Wali Gali is a gastronomical experience filled with culinary heritage
You can literally feel the history as you explore this lane dedicated to paratha and street food
The whole wheat paratha bread is stuffed with your choice of filing and fried in a desi ghee clarified butter
With the crackle and sputter of the oil and the smell of spices in the air
You’re going to get hungry for sure
It’s served with a sweet and spicy pumpkin mash
A banana chutney
Sweet tamarind chutney
And a mint chutney 
They are to die for
Is this for me?
Oh, thank you
This is the Rabri
Which is filled with a sweetened churned milk and fried in purified butter
Look at that
Look at that!
It’s like churned milk
It’s super sweet, it’s just oozing out
It actually has a nice, healthy whole wheat flavor to it
This is so crazy here
This is so crazy here!
We’re so deep in the alleyway
I’m just going to dip it into this mint chutney
Heavenly deep street food here
In Paratha Wali Gali, there’s more than just paratha 
You can taste classic Pani Puri
A crunchy little dome packed with sweet and spicy tamarind water
It’s the ultimate refreshing spice bomb
Pani puri
This is the Pani puri hot spot here!
So we’re going to try out the famous Indian Pani Puri sweet and refreshing water bomb
Thank you
We’ve got the Pani Puri
Oh the smells here there’s all this incense coming into the air
And I have a big water
Tamarind, sweet spicy tamarind water filled pani puri
Oh yeah, it’s like super spicy with tamarind and its sweet and crunchy
And it just explodes in your mouth
Next up is the famous Kachori with Aloo Sabzi
Here, a beautiful puff that’s golden brown and crispy on the outside
Is stuffed with a lentil dal or potatoes
And then it’s hand crushed
And covered with a potato curry infused with red chili powder and turmeric
Garnished with coriander and fenugreek leaves
It’s out of this world
Look at that
Looks very good!
Can I please have one kachori?
Sure, why not?
Thank you
Is this like a potato masala
It’s basically a potato curry
Potato curry?
Oh!
With a crunchy Kachori
With lentils
Oh, nice
Thank you very much
Look at this
We’re going to have to find somewhere to eat
Let’s try that out
Oh yeah
Oh that is really nice
The potato masala is really smooth
It’s a little spicy
And that potato masala is very hearty and tastes quite healthy
Warm and comforting
Paranthe Wali Gali is insane
There’s so much to try
We’re going to go see what else we can find
We are going to try
Where are you from?

We are going to try Daulat Ki Chaat
Oh look at this
It’s like frothy milk
Oh yeah
It’s churned all night
Oh yeah
Thank you
It’s so frothy
And it’s covered in
I heard that this here is like crispy sugar
And this is pecan with saffron
Oh look at how frothy it is
Oh look at it’s like a cloud
Wow
Oh it’s like a pillow
It’s like a soft, sweet cloud
It’s like a whipped cream almost
But home made
So we just had an awesome time at Paranthe wali gali
Having street snacks
And now we are heading to the next location for more
You hungry?
Yeah
Let’s film more
Old Delhi is packed with specialties that would take a lifetime to explore
But you can surprisingly taste a lot in one afternoon
We made our way to try a famous and renowned stuffed naan and northern Indian restaurant in Chandni Chowk
A huge tandoori oven pumps out naan after stuffed naan
And when they arrive on your table
And you dip them into the curry
You’re already salivating
Alright
So next up we’re going to get some famous naan with dal
Thank you
Very nice
Just look at this
This is insane
I have a specialty stuffed naan stuffed with potato and paneer cottage cheese
Over here this is Paneer tikka
Cottage cheese covered in spices and yoghurt and put in a tandoori oven
And then over here look at this
This is a dal made with lentils and look
Oh look at all the butter on there
This place is famous for stuffed naan
And just look at that
That feels so soft and garlicky and buttery
And then I’m just going to dip it into that lentil dal
That is so so buttery and fragrant and powerful and heavy
It’s actually quite spicy
It tastes like there is raw chilies in there
That is burning
It’s quite powerful
We’re going to Jama Masjid
We’re going Foodrangin’
I like this little bike
Yeah
This is crazy
So many people
So many smells
And the roads are so packed with all the things to eat
So many bikes
Yeah, I’m in love with India
I could just keep coming back here every year
Once or twice per year just to eat
Different cities
Yeah different cities, different foods, amazing
Nice
Alright so next up we’re going to go get some beef kebabs
The smells
The action
And the food!
That looks amazing
And Ting Ting is getting covered in smoke
So smoky
As soon as you walk up
You can smell the spices and smoke on the grill for these famous beef kebabs
Locals here call them beef kebabs
But they are actually buffalo
As cow is holy here in India
Just look at these beef kebabs
Wow
Looks like there is a lot of butter on there
Mint 
I think there is mint chutney and masala powder and onions
Its just saturated
Oh that is so buttery
It’s spicy
I can taste the masala powder on there
The butter and the masala powder mix together perfectly
So it’s like a buttery masala filled with flavor
Spicy and powerful
The mint chutney in there too
Walking through the Jama Masjid area
You’ll find a lot of muslim specialties
You can feast here for days and days
But I came here to try the famous 100+ year old Karim’s restaurant
Specializing in Mughlai cuisine
But first, you gotta warm up with some chai tea
One of the joys of India is having a chai on the street side
Look at this frothy milk
Oh yeah
There’s nothing better than chai on the street in India
Puts the froth right on top
That’s gorgeous
Nice
Ok, thank you very much
How much
10 rupees
That is so creamy and frothy
There’s nothing better than having this in India
Now for the final killer historical meal
We made our way to try Karim’s 
The famous 100+ year old Mughlai restaurant
Specializing in Kebabs
Mutton korma
And an assortment of other spicy and delicious curries
It’s been a fantastic day
So much food here in Old Delhi
And now we’re going to go for a Mughlai feast at Karim’s to finish it all off
We’re going to Karim’s
I’ve heard so much about this place
Hundred and ten years old I think
Mutton stew
Yeah
Oh that smells fantastic
So many curries
And this is a mutton korma
Oh yeah
Look at these!
What’s that?
Mutton Kheema
Ok thank you so much
This looks amazing
And over here
Look at all of this naan
Naan
Oh it smells fantastic
Butter chicken
Mutton curry
Brain
Well this is it
This is the meal that I’ve been looking forward to for so long at Karim’s
Just look at this Mughlai feast here
We have some butter chicken
And then this is their homemade specialty naan bread
Just look at that
It’s lightly covered in butter
And then this - I can’t believe I did it
But I’m going to do it again
We’re going for mutton brain curry
This is a spicy mutton curry
And then this is Keermal
And it’s made from milk and flour
And it’s their specialty naan
And first we’re going to have to just go right in
This is the meal for curry and spice lovers in Delhi
Each bite you take
From the butter chicken
To the spicy mutton curry
To the incredibly executed naan bread
And even the mutton bread curry
Brings you closer and closer to a state of bliss
You can literally taste the history here
I’ve had a few experiences with brain before
Some have been good
Some have been bad
We’re going to see how it is
That is the best brain I’ve ever had
It’s much less stinky than pork brain
It has a lot of beautiful curry flavor soaked into it
And it’s creamy
But the texture is actually enjoyably creamy
It’s not overwhelmingly silky like other brains I’ve had
That is amazing
That was the best brain I’ve ever had
So I just have to give a huge thank you to Kali and Abishek
