It is literally impossible to determine what components some dishes are prepared from. It is customary to stew meat and vegetables for a very long time until the dish acquires a homogeneous puree-like consistency. Walking along the city streets, you can notice small cafes and stalls selling popular pastries. Here you can buy traditional “Puri”, as well as special types of pastries with “Paneer ” cheese. To taste fresh pastries, many experienced gourmets go to the markets. Here, in the open air, they prepare traditional puff pastries filled with potatoes or lentils. This treat is common and quite cheap.
