This winding lane off Chandni Chowk has been dishing up its namesake paratha fresh off the tawa (hotplate) for generations, originally serving pilgrims at the time of the Mughals. Walk down it from Chandni Chowk, take two turns and you'll find this, the most popular paratha joint of many. Stuffings include green chilli, almond, banana and more.
