Doing this Chandini-Chowk-Food-trail in the summer months is really, uh, not exactly the best way to go around it. But the good news is that there’s lots of stuff to help you cool-off. After all Indians have been living in these conditions longer than anyone else, so they’ve perfected combat techniques for the heat.
After a hot walk you will find a traditional almond squash known as Tthandai, (available at Haldiram’s) tremendously refreshing Or you can chill out with the are abri falooda (milk starch and rice noodles served with crushed ice), at Gianiji ka Falooda. By the way, you needn’t worry about the water they use for making ice - these guys are extremely particular and manufacture it from filtered water.
