Foodie's paradise #5

Hotel Kshudha Shanti, Girgaum.

A grade III hotel, a lunch home, open between 10.30 to 2.30 and 7 to 11.30 is the place where you'll find world's most tastiest 'zunka', believe me.

So much so that in 1984 to 1986, I have literally finished my exam papers midway, n rushed to KS for the fear that days stock of zunka would have finished! (During those days till @lmost Y2k, zunka was prepared in limited quantity and many a times one would hear 'zunka samplaa'!!

Chapatis are still prepared on clay oven. Aamti (daal) is unique, love the taste! There are 3 bhaajis n 3 usals to choose from, daily. Bhaat, varan, lonche, n even taak, oh my God, @ll this you must experience!

During last 3 decades, this joint has given me so much pleasure, satiated my 'kshudha', I am forever indebted!


And ZUNKA...
