try
especially
during
summer.
Chottu-Motu,

Sweets
are
all famous
for their
pani puris.
And these
are as cheap
as Rs.10 & 9
which

makes you
eat more.
The Dahi
Puri at
Chottu-Mottu
is a must

Bamboo Chaat
House

you food
that even
the bigger
food courts
might fail
to. The

this area
are also a
must try.
There is no
way that you
would stop
with one!
You will
also find
sugarcane
shops set up
here and
there in the
streets that
can quench
your thirsts
just at
Rupees five
and six
especially
after all
the spicy
