She runs her stall in different parts of Indirapuram, Ghaziabad.

The Most Yummy Food Items in Delhi You Must Try
1. Paranthas
Before you say, what?? I tell you these paranthas of Delhi are not the same you eat everyday. They are different and much more delicious. Choose from a plain one or select a stuffing of your choice – potatoes, cauliflower, radish, eggs, keema, bananas or even dal – the options are endless. These paranthas are so appetizing that you don’t even need anything with it. But for the best taste you can have it with curd, pickles or some onion slices.
If you want to taste the best Delhi’s paranthas, ‘Paranthey Wali Gali’ at Chandni Chowk is the best place. The parantha shops of this place are very crowded, especially in the morning. So better is to leave early as possible.
