The 38 Best Restaurants in New Delhi, India | Eater

"Price Range: $ Chaat stalls are North India’s most democratic food culture. On any given street corner, you will find people lining up for fried snacks that differ from vendor to vendor in recipe, technique, and backstory. Mangla, a bustling little spot in a predominantly residential area of Delhi, is a local legend. For aloo chaat, owner Dalchand Kashyap fries chunks of potato to a crisp in ghee and tops them with two chutneys: a fresh green version made with coriander and mint, and an aromatic, sweet red chutney made from tamarind, fennel seeds, and jaggery. Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds zest, and a garnish of grated radish provides quick relief from the rich flavors. Novelty is a big part of the chaat experience, and Kashyap’s trademark spices and condiments are well-kept secrets. Know before you go: You may recognize the stall from its turn on the Netflix series Street Food." - Sharanya Deepak
