u brought some of my memories back too of those roadside dhaabaas. i used to travel by GT Road [Grand Trunk Road] from AligaRh to Delhi. for the benefit of newer generation lemme tell them that GT Road was built by Sher Shah Suri from Peshawar to Calcutta via delhi Allahabad Dhanbad etc.
The stop we used to have was famous for Punjabi istyle makkhani urad kii daal...with his specialty tandoorii naan was a quite a delight...loved it...surKh pyaaz asli ghee meN tali huii kaa taRkaa...subHaan Allah :) thank you for sharing :)
