"Price Range: $$ Locals come to the Sadar Bazaar for deals on everything from steel pipes to apples. Navigating the market can be an adventure, but Ashok and Ashok, situated on one of the bazaar’s quieter lanes, is reason enough to make the trek. The shop serves what they call “meat gravy,” chicken or mutton cooked for more than six hours in a special iron kadhai (shallow frying pot) in house-made clarified butter or desi ghee. The meat is soft and buried in spices, and comes with small rotis made from makka (corn flour) topped with chopped green chiles and coriander. The mutton sells out between noon and 1 p.m. almost every day, but the chicken is more easily available. Vibe check: You’ll have to eat standing up at a small table, and there’s always a queue (it moves fast), but it’s all worth it." - Sharanya Deepak
