In my words - A human being with an over exagerated craving and a HUGE appetite for anything that has even miniscule potential of enticing one's taste buds may be defined as an HOGSTER. Hold on, wait a minute.... that would be.... ME! Thus the name - Hogster !!

I am no writer, or a scholar or someone who's exceptional at penning down his thoughts but am a foodie, a chatora and hence the motivation for me to share with you, something which I love to do. So i'll try to take you along in my Journey around Food or a Food Journey or better still.....a foojourn(TM)

Now that the I have explained myself, the blog url and my motive to be here, I think I can start now. Oh but hang on....what about the blog title ?? ADDICTED ??
Is there even a need to elucidate ? that am addicted to good food. Now with that out of our way lets finally start

WORLD'S Best CHOLEY BHATUREY

Don't be mislead by the caption, and its upto you to believe it literally when I say World's best choley bhature. They might not be the world's best, but they are absolutely delicious, lipsmacking, often leave you wanting for more after your regular fill of a normal meal.....and quite frankly they are the best choley bhaturey that I have ever had.

Bhaturey - Minimal Oil, with above normal elasticity, tender, almost melting in your mouth, filled with a generous spread of paneer and a mixture which I think includes dhaniya and a few spices. Oh boy! I had more than 3 of those this afternoon, its been not more than 3 hours since and yet when am describing them, i feel like i can have a couple of them right now. Now digg that! Very unlike the Bhaturey which you normally get or even your mom would make at home.

Choley - Viscuous- almost halva like in density, tangy, a tad bit extra salt than you'd normally want (its not a complaint, mind you), with boiled and subsequesntly fried aalloo pieces thrown in. Garnished with a secret ingredient green chutney which spruces up the taste a few notches , coriander leaves and chopped onions.
You always have the option to add in not so great pickle (varies with season - carrot,mango,chillies)

Now take that bhatura and tear out a small piece which guarantess paneer falling out and add to the choley and put the sinful combination in your mouth. As you begin to savour the great taste, enjoying every bite and you suddenly realize that you have only shelled out INR 24/- unlike lousy ones you get at a swanky/overcrowded food joint with name that reminds you of a spice. you cant help but just say - bhai waah !!

The fact that to have them, you have to commute to a place which is a true reflection of what a real Indian city is makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. As you make your way through crowded purani dilli streets, with shops on both sides of the street which are not more than 3 metres apart selling almost anything and everything, you are welcomed by a variety of likable aromas , which I think are sourced out of Jalebis, Kachoris, chaat, parathas and anything which you can imagine in that league!
Cycles, Rickshaws, Two wheelers ,Hawkers, tourists (often searching for weed or already smoking), cattle, stray dogs - Imagine that in an area of few hundered square yards and you have a typical PaharGanj street. Its almost evident to you that you have to travel to Paharganj to try the Choley Bhaturey, so I will not keep you waiting anymore... here's the address
Sita Ram Diwan Chand Choley Bhaturey , Chuna Mandi, Paharganj, Near Imperial Cinema, Delhi!

Its almost 6 in the evening and am hungry again.. I need to go dig into my kitchen and hunt for some food. Give them a shot when you are around CP next time and oh yeah dont forget to tell me after you have them and still agree with me in saying that they are World's Best Choley Bhature !

cheers!
