Eating at Gianni Di Hatti Fethepuri, Chandni Chowk ..Old Delhi



I have been visiting Gianni Di Hatti regularly for the past 15 yrs whenever i go to Delhi ..its  a place i just adore ...i bet the food served there is just mind blowing .....its a bit rustic but a great value for money....the paneer parathas , dal  are just out of the world ... you would require three people to finish one parantha ......

 

then to top all the giani falouda and the milkshakes they are the best in India , the way they make its awesome










....my choice is that you go there twice once for the food and once for the milkshakes and falouda.....you cannot have both together

history of rossogolla


The Rosogolla (Rasgulla) was invented in the state of Orissa, where it has been a traditional sweet dish for centuries. Arguably, the best rosogollas in Orissa are made by Bikalananda Kar from the town of Salepur, near Cuttack. Another variety of this dish, that is made in the town of Pahala, located between the cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack, is also very popular. One theory pinpoints the origin of the rosogolla to the town of Puri in coastal Orissa, where it is a traditional offering to the local deities.
The recipe for making rosogollas eventually found its way from Orissa to neighbouring West Bengal. This was during the Bengal renaissance when brahmin cooks from Orissa, especially from Puri, were routinely employed in richer Bengali households. They were famed for their culinary skills and commonly referred to as Ude Thakurs (Oriya brahmin-cooks). As a result, many Oriya delicacies got incorporated into the Bengali kitchen. It is widely believed that in 1868, Nobin Chandra Das of Bagbazar, Kolkata, modified the original recipe to extend the shelf life of the highly perishable sweet and make it marketable. This modification made the rosogolla somewhat spongier and tougher and also, as some maintain, compromised on the dish's taste. Nevertheless, Das earned the sobriquet, "rosogolla's Columbus" within local circles. His son, K. C. Das started canning rosogollas leading to their even wider availability. Another Bengali claim credits a certain Haradhan Maira for the recipe's introduction in Bengal in place of Nobin Chandra Das.
Eventually, the popularity of rosogolla spread to all other parts of India and to the rest of the world.
