Bum Makhan Chai – opp Chanakya Cinema,Chanakyapuri.
When I last saw Chanakya, it still had the smell of the typical Indian movie hall with slimy characters offering tickets on black, the pan stained waiting area outside the hall as well as economically friendly tickets of around 30-70 bucks. Just at the entrance to the hall, on the opposite side of the road rests a small tea shop, which has been famous over the years for selling bun-makhan.
Nothing but a square of Amul Butter spread in a simple bun. It has a huge gathering and tastes only good there. Other options like bun-omelette, brad pakoda are there and top it with fine garam chai, patti tezm doodh kam. A big hit in the winter months, people from all walks of life descend to gorge on these yummy bun – makhans ignoring their diet consciousness for a day.
One hope that the bub-makhan shop will survive the multiplex which is replacing Chanakya.
