Golgappa..

Hellos, Kids of  90's

We genuinely are the luckiest ones, we saw the mobile revolution, FRIENDS, Windows 95 to Windows 10 journey, best of cartoon network, APJ as president of India and Barack Obama in the states, lot more and demonetization these days in my country,

The famous Dosas.

Well, this is not about any of those, this one is about one of our recent experience, but lets get this straight, I am not a food critic, neither a travel writer, it is about just a fine Friday, we thought to explore a near by, talked about place called, "Khau galli - Ghatkopar" .

After just few hundred steps or lets say 15 minutes, from Ghatkopar metro station (Get down to the east side of the station), you will find this oddly crowded, festive lane, yup.. just a lane.

Let me break it down for you 

(Khau or khaana - Eat or Food & Gali - Lane), so it basically is a lane were you eat, just in case you are new to Mumbai or you have people who are new to Mumbai, be aware of the Red bus, you don't wanna trust the traffic or the breaks of that bus.

Very vegetarian, and very festive, the moment we entered we could see the smoke of fresh butter on the hot tawa, and you could really feel the fragrance of cardamom, cloves, black pepper..

fresh cut green vegetables,, and the waiting crowed, eating crowed and those expressions of feeling the perfect bled of spices in your mouth. 

Jini

We started with Pao Bhajis..

Bread dipped in butter, with thick gravy and lots of cheese, well you could also enjoy sips of fresh lime soda over the starters, trust me you will love it if you are a Pao Bhagi Fan.

I must say walking down Khau Gali is more fun, that the food actually, it is almost like a food festival.

Go with your friends, or family..

with recent acquaintances or colleagues..

or may be special ones..

Share a bite or may be go for a Golgappa race.

Though we were full to neck, we tried Golgappa, well and it was nice, it had to be

Every Indian loves it, I sometimes feel it should be our national snack :D

We shared it, and we loved it, fried puff-pastry balls filled with spiced Boondi (a Rajasthani snack made up of sweetended chickpea flour ) , spiced cold water, and a bit of tamarind juce.
more than the Golgappas, i loved the expressions of the ones with me.

We had already ordered for the jini, and by the time we returned from out tiny golgappa expedition it was yet not done, so be a little patient these guys at the dosa stall can make around 150 kids of Dosas, isn't that amassing, and all that at not a very expensive rate. When jini arrived, few of us said no, but few still were up for it.
Dosas are almost the main-course in the south India, and it has gained its face all over, with time.
jini was no difference, looked delicious, smelled beautiful and served in an entirely unique way.

We enjoyed it,
Well let me say i did, and i loved living this small experiences and the teeny-tiny moments of walking that road, with people i might not ever see again.

Take it from me,
not only, you should say what you feel like and not regret that you didn't
but, you can also eat that extra calorie sometimes, and not worry about your weight, mother earth can handle few pounds more...
ha ha

In the end, they did let one of us try our hand too,
Now i am not sure if they will let you do that, But i am sure, you will love the little experience

So stay safe and take care ill see you soon
regards,
jay..
