This thread inspired me to go outside and buy the goodies mentioned in the title.
I knew this fine gentleman will be there at the corner of my street with his mobile shop.
And I bought these from him.
Two different types of gajaks and one type of batashas each costed me twenty rupees while chilghozas, as mentioned earlier in the thread, are on a pricier side so they costed a hefty fifty rupees.
I asked khan sahab about sales and he told it takes him approx 15 days to sell five kg of gajak while one kg of chilghoza gets sold in about four days.
kiuN nahiiN milegaa? ab agar maiN ne Thaan li to maiN Bareilly jaa kar Haasil karuuNgaa kiuN k “BarelviyoN” kaa gaRh shahr Bareilly meN hii hai jo India meN waaq’e hai…
ek nahiiN do do Bareilly haiN:
Rae Bareli = one of Mrs. Indira Gandhi family’s constituency
**BaaNs Bareilly **= jhumkaa giraa re Bareilly ke bajar meN…BarelviyoN kaa gaRh!
to add further there are two categories of chilgoza. polished / unpolished. what you buy from big stores are polished one which cost you around Rs 2000 per kg. polished one will cost you around Rs 1700 at joRiya bazar. unpolished are for Rs 1150. The one you posted above looks unpolished. There is no drastic difference between the two. polished one don’t leave marks on your finger. These marks are light and as soon as you jhaaR your hands, they disappear. so shashke main paise mat ganwana. Also kajoo are for Rs 1100 per Kg at joRiya bazar. The dry fruit sellers in streets charge Rs 100 for chatank.
chilGhoze kaa naam sunte hii muje apnaa ek saaniHa yaad aa jaataa hai aur jise soch kar aaj bhii peeTh meN dard hone lagtaa hai
huaa yeh thaa k merii Bhabhi saaHiba ko chilGhoze bahot pasand haiN to mujhe HUkm huaa k maiN ek kilo chilGhoze Khareed kar saath laauuN…chilGhoze [nuts stc] sirf puraanii Dilli ke Fatehpuri masjid in Old Delhi, close to Jam’a Masjid where cars are not allowed…as a result, i had to ride a pedal rickshaw and spent an hour to get to the Masjid area due to extremely heavy traffic. on my way back, rickshaw wala applied brakes so hard that i slipped off the seat and fell on the road while the rickshaw i was riding on ran over my back…lol…it was so embarrassing…finally reached the end of the road from where i hitched a cab and got to the airport.
