ChankyaPuri Momos

ChanakyaPuri Market - The Place which has aquired almost a Legendary Status among the Student Community....Known for its various small eateries, which dish out quick fix Chinesee Menu which is so much a part of Delhis food as is Delhis Cholle Bhature...and that too at really affordable prices which just dont pinch the wallet of the Students...Another very reasonable & filling food item, which is really popular is the Momos.....A slew of 10-12 Restaurants serving Indianised Chinese, Thai food....


The New Look - ChanakyaPuri
I went to ChanakyaPuri after a long time and was pleasently surprised to see the new look of ChanakyaPuri - with very brightly & nicely colored lights & all restaurants lined up neatly in the same line & calling out customers to their restaurants...A Hot Favorite among students for their low prices

Restaurants lined up...with bright lights & colors

We Ordered the All time Favorite Steamed Chicken Momos & Chicken Noodles... The Momos being a Huge hit here, took just 5-7 minutes to reach our table .... One Bite into the Momos & I could realise why they are so popular among students.....The Chicken Mince inside is quite liberal & generous....spiced with Garlic, Ginger, Lot sof Coriander ...Also the Chicken Stock, while boiling / steaming the Chicken with spices seems to have been mixed along with the mince & kept as a filling in the chicken momos .. Thats why the Momos were so Juicy .... There was some Chicken stock left inside the Momos.....


Chicken Momos - Juicy & Soft
Then we Ordered another Favorite, the Fried Momos .. The Same Momos are deep fried till they turn Golden Brown...Here Again, the Chiken Stock seemed to be oozing out of the Fried Momos, once you ake a bite from them......juices oozing out of the Momos ......

Fried Chicken Momos


The Chicken Noodles seem to be everybodys favorite food item, especially for the Students ...For Rs120/=, you get a Huge Bowl of Noodles with reasonable portion of Chicken....Some Cabbage, Onions, Capsicum , Spices &  you have a Simple fillin bowl of Chicken Noodles

The Place is not the best if you are looking for great Hygiene ... But for a Hungry Palate looking for sme variety, taste & not willing to spend much, this place is a good try

Word of Caution - dont try the Sauces - They are kept in Open Jars/ Containers, so avoid them

QDs took the Idea of Combining the 2 most favourite food of the Delhi Campus Students Community– Momos & the Tandoor – (with Both being widely available at every nook & corner of the Campus ) you have the most amazing combo - Tandoori Momos . This Snack took the Campus by surprise with its innovativeness, & Boldness, 2 attributes greatly seeked by Gen X

The Tandoori spices are the real hit here & show no lineancy to the soft Momos. The Freshly steamed Momos are marinated in the Bar be que Masala for almost 3-4 hours before being put through the Seekh in the Tandoor.
The freshness of the Momos adds to the taste . The Chicken masala inside the Momos, is juicy & is mildly spiced to blend nicely in the striking taste of the Tandoori marinate

Wheat Momos @ Brown Sugar


Dont go by the name of the Restaurant, That brown Sugar is a very harmful drug & highly addictive substance is known to most of us, But what people may not know is that this place serves one of the most addictive Momos - The Wheat Momos . Located in a Prime Majestic Corner, at the main Entrance of the Posh Upmarket, M – Block, Greater Kailash- Part 1 Market, is a small Take away snack joint called Brown Sugar





 
Its been around the market for quite a long time, But it came into light about 6-7 years back when it revived its fortunes with its wheat Momos... I strongly believe that for small to mid sized restaurants & eateries, its all about selective focus. You cant offer everything to everyone, But just ensure that you have one special thing on your menu, which is something you can offer to almost everybody



The Brilliant Momos or Dumplings......
The Shoppers at the Hot and happening M- block GK-1 Market will swear by Brown Sugar & this place has acquired an almost cult Status. The  Momos are made of wheat & are typically light brown in color, unlike the Normal Flour Momos.. The stuffing of the Momos is just simply delicious.... Juicy, Very Tangy, strong flavour of Onions, coriander, Fresh & Pure chicken mince & strong garlic , create a strong punch in the mouth ...



The Dip along with the Momos is equally Potent & can put the Gun Powder chewing Quick Gun Murugan to sleep...Really Hot, spicy , Tangy, its too awesome.


The Hot Hot Dip!!!!

 The Momos are kept fresh in the Big Transparent steam Bowls & are freshly steamed for every order. This makes the Momos, moist & soft, a perfect Juicy bite



Priced at Rs 85 for 7 medium pieces of Momos, the Chicken Momos are a healthy snack & a Must try. The Spinach & Corn Momos, Mushroom Momos, Fish Momos , Mutton Momos are also big hits & really make a great snack



They also serve, Fish Fingers with Tartar sauce which i have heard is good. The Chicken Tikka wrap is also a nice spicy roll & served with a strong mint dip & Onions Must Try – Chicken Momos, Mutton Momos, Spinach & Corn Momos, Mushroom Momos, Chicken Tikka wrap
