Indori Gajak, Garadu
Whenever there is mention of cities famous for its food, Indore tops the list. With its own versions of Poha, Dahi Vada, Bhutte Ka Kees, Aloo Kachori, Anda Banjo, Hot Dogs, Sabudana khichdi and many more; Indore has a special place in every Indian Foodie’s heart!
During the winters, Indore offers two more such delicacies- Deep fried Garadu and Gajak. Puneites have a chance to grab these both delicacies at Indore Foods near Mhatre Bridge. It is quite difficult to find both these foods in Pune and that makes it a rare opportunity for foodies of Pune.
Garadu: A root vegetable found in Madhya Pradesh only during winters, is cut into small cubes and deep fried. Sprinkled with Indore special Jeeravan and a squeeze of lemon, Garadu is a dish tailor made for the winters. Cooks at Indore Foods fry them extra crispy which make them a perfect chai time snack. If you are a foodie, then a trip to Indore Foods for tasty crispy Garadu is a must!
Gajak: This sweet cum confectionary peculiar to North-Central India is typical to winters. Made from sesame seeds, jaggery, dry ginger powder and mustard oil; Garadu has a unique sweet flavour with khasta texture. It disappears the moment you put it in your mouth, it is so light and khasta. A box of 250 gram Gajak is available at Indore Foods only for Rs. 120/-. For a change this year, you may consider replacing traditional Tilgul with Gajak and give your relatives & friends a taste of this tasty Indori confectionary.
Both the foods are available only for a very limited time at Indore Foods. Before the season gets over, make sure you visit and grab a bite soon!
