Hello Dumplings.

Hey Foodies. 
So we had put a picture few days back on our intagram page of some yummy momos we had. And the response was unbelievable. Thus, as we promised here we are with some delicious momo joints for y'all. 
We had so much fun stuffing ourselves with these amazing dumplings and so will you. Go ahead and try them AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 
Super delicious and affordable. 
So, gear up people of Delhi,NCR because the next thing you will see will bring out the real foody in you. The lust to try these will surely not let you sleep at night. 
TRUST US WHEN WE SAY THIS. 

GO AHEAD. ENJOY. :D




TEE DEE
(32, Aruna Nagar, Majnu ka Tila, New Delhi)



So, let us tell you something before you get all excited... It was really hard for us to find this restaurant. Very hard. But ofcourse we did find it. So, we are telling you to keep a track of the small 'gali' in Majnu Ka Tila because if you loose it you will never find this place. Ask the people living there, they'll guide you for sure. Now, lets talk FOOD.



We were so tired after walking in the deadly sun, the first thing we ordered was pepsi. 
These were for rs25 each. A must for sure.


When you look at their menu there are so so many options and you may get lost but if you are there to try these momos then turn to the second last page and look for the option 'Special Momos' and these dumplings are called 'POTATO CHEESE MOMOS'. There is an option for either fried ones or steamed ones. We ordered fried ones. Their amount was rs110.
The taste was different and honestly if you are looking for the typical momos taste, dont try these. But if you are looking for something new, do try them. We loved them. The potato and cheese combo was nailed completely and it just melted in our mouths. The Momos sauce was too spicy but it went well with the dumplings. Simple taste but a must try for the momos lovers.
Also, very well presented.








QD'S RESTAURANT
(520, 1st Floor, Hudson Lane, Kingsway Camp,Delhi University-GTB Nagar, New Delhi)


YYYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSS.
QD'S is very famous among all the Delhi University Students. Same here.
So, we went to this amazing place to try their very famous THE TANDOORI MOMOS. We added 'The' because these dumplings deserves the respect, bro.

What taste, what size, what color, what presentation. Can we give them 12/10. Obviously, we can.
Try their Original Mojito along with these dumplings and you'll love them forever.
The Momos are for rs140 and the original mojito is for rs90.

We've fallen in love with these dumplings way too much.
If you haven't tried them yet, just leave everything and go to eat them. You will not regret it.
HEHE ;)





Let's come to steamed momos now.

Following three images are for the Steamed momos lovers. Yaaiiee.


Hawkers
(D1, DDA Market, Near Red Light, Aggarwal Sweets, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi)


We all know this food truck. It is quiet famous for its quick service and chinese food. But their steamed momos (non-veg) are yum too. Try them. Just for rs60. We also tried their fried momos and was impressed by its taste. But we would rather recommend steamed momos to y'all. We brought the momos home. 
A TIP- Go in your car or atleast a two wheeler.




PEP BOX
(Shop 26, Huda City Center Metro Station, Sector 29, Gurgaon)


Got down from a long journey in metro and want a quick snack?
Try Pep Box. QUICK.YUMMY and CHEAP momos. You get 8 pieces of non-veg momos for rs60. We surely recommend these because everyone needs a quick but good snack.





Do you live in south city 2, gurgaon? And you need to stuff your tummy with some good and cheap momos till you wait for friends to arrive or just to keep yourself busy from the evening buzz. We've got a perfect place for y'all. This 'momos wala' is seen in D-BLOCK market, south city 2, gurgaon the moment you enter the market but only after 6pm. It may not be as good as the momos we mentioned above but nevertheless it is something you can eat and feel good. Spending rs40 on their non veg momos and getting 8 pieces is a great option, no?

Do try these. You'll love them, a little.



So, are we done? YEAHHHH.

The MadCap Girls brought you these momos joints/points so that you can eat them and share it with us and the world. Go ahead and try them and drool over their tastes. 
Hope you liked the post. Add your comments below and let us know where else we can find some different and creative type of momos. Let's be a bit different. YO.

XOXO

.



We all love street food , don't we? Indian street food is one of its kind. Visit whichever part of the country , you will indulge in some heavenly and 'heavy' street goodness!

Mumbai is famous for three things. Juhu Beach , Bollywood and  street food.
Here we have a very popular street food straight-from-the-streets-of-Mumbai ( well, not literally ).
we have a spicy , tangy superbly delicious Mumbai mast pulao just for you.

INGREDIENTS.
Vegetable Oil - 1 tablespoon
Mustard seeds - 1  handful
Dry Red Chillis - 2-3
Curry Leaves - 4-5
Chopped garlic - 1 teaspoon
chopped onions - 1
chopped seasonal vegetables ( i.e whatever veggies you have in your fridge ) - 2 cups.
chopped tomatoes - 1
Salt - according to taste
Red paprika - half a teaspoon
Coriander powder - half a teaspoon
turmeric - a  pinch
Pao bhaji masala ( a secret ingredient no one's gonna tell you about ) - 1 teaspoon

Preparation

Heat your wok and add oil. Once the oil is hot enough , add mustard seeds and wait for it to crackle. Add dry red chillis and curry leaves and saute for a few seconds. Add garlic . Wait for it to brown a little before adding in the onions and veggies. ( bell peppers are recommended ).  Saute them for a few minutes and put in tomatoes. Then add all the spices . PS-  do not add garam masala if you are adding pao bhaji masala. the pao bhaji masala has abundance of it.



Saute the veggies and add in your boiled rice. ( again, you might find some leftover rice from last night in your fridge ) . All you need to do now is coat the rice with the tadka you just made and turn off the heat.

STREET FOOD OF SHEIKH SARAI, NEW DELHI

When you walk down the streets of Sheikh Sarai (WITH FOOD IN YOUR MIND) and look towards your left or right or in any direction you can only see food stalls and college students sitting near them eating their favorite street food. Food is a necessity in our lives but street food is a necessity for every college student who travels with a hundred rupee note in his jeans. Well, not to worry because we are here for your rescue.




Sheikh Sarai has two Delhi University colleges i.e. College Of Vocational Studies and Shaheed Bhagat Singh College. When you walk in to the street you are greeted by students sitting in the corner left drinking the special ‘Chai’ and if you look towards the right, we have our very famous ‘Chole bhatoore Wale Bhaiya’. Moving ahead you will get the aroma of Frankie or Chowmein with students heading inside either into their college (CVS) or into a road side restaurant called Sunny’s Restaurant. This place serves a lot of things but it is popular for its Paneer Frankie, chowmein and burgers. But one cannot finish their meal here without having a bottle of Pepsi or fruit beer. If we move further we see the next college i.e. SBSC and if you take right you go towards a row filled with fragrance of various food items. The row begins with ‘roll wale’ serving amazing rolls with very quick service and cheap prices. If you move ahead you see tiny street restaurants serving Pau Bhaji or Maggie or even Boiled eggs. We move further and see the sight of bliss for every food lover and it is ‘MOMOS WALE BHAHIYA’. He may be the most talked about boy of sheikh sarai as he serves the best momos (as told by most of the students). Even if you are a vegetarian you will love his veg-momos or paneer-momos because they are so fresh and yummy. But you cannot walk away after eating these heavenly dumplings. You need to (yes, YOU NEED TO) have ‘Banta’. This drink acts like a savior that gives your burning tongue a little relief after eating the momos sauce. Costing only 8 rupees it’s the best drink ever.






















 And finally we reach The Authority. It’s a place that has everything that a college student needs. Photocopy to buying books to recharge to everyone’s favorite FOOD. There you have ‘Sri Ram Chaat’ serving delicious chaats and gol gappas too. Also if you want to quickly eat but need something cheap, try ‘Sharma ji ke Chole Kulche. Yes Mr. Sharma holding his bicycle feeds many hungry students with this delicacy and brings a smile on everybody’s face. But if you need a place which is clean and a bit sophisticated you’ve got to try WRAPIZZZ… A tiny place serving pizza and wraps but its ‘Chili Cheese Toast is the most talked about dish.









Hence in the end our sheikh sarai’s street food journey ends with an ice-cream in our hand and satisfaction in our tummy. 




A TIP- If you are traveling by metro, you have to get down at malviya nagar metro station to reach sheikh sarai and by any chance you are waiting there for a friend do try bhelpuri at the ‘bhelpuri stall’, I know you’ll thank us later for this




Well, we hope this little post will help you chose your street food wisely. Admissions are open in DU and we being students of DU wishes you all the best. And if by any chance you join these two colleges mentioned above do let us know and hangout with us someday and we'll share our food journeys together. :)

The MadCap Girls would just say life in Delhi University is incomplete without Street Food.

More posts about street food coming soon. 
Stay Tuned :D
