NOVELTY SWEETS

Address: M.M Malviya Rd, Joshi Colony, Amritsar, Punjab 143001 Phone:098723 94444

Gurudas Ram Jalebiwala: And of course, last but not the least – how can we forget the sweet tooth? At any time of the day, land up here to taste the fresh jalebis which emerge crisp and golden from a kadai of pure ghee. Most likely, it will beat any previous encounter with this humble sweet. Also not to be missed is his famed gulab jamun.
Katra Ahluwalia

Friends Dhaba for their keema naan with butter and gravy (Rs 90; 210 Queens Road). The keema naan on its own is delicious but dunk it in that gravy and you are awed into silence.

 Surjan Singh(Chowk Regent Cinema) and Ahuja Sweets (Dhab Khatikan). Neither of these places sells any gimmicky flavours, just a tall glass of plain sweet lassi topped with fresh cream (Rs 25 at both). For the strong hearted, Surjan Singh also serves his lassi with fresh white butter (proved a little too much for us namby-pamby city dwellers). Ahuja Sweets also makes one of the best phirnis in town

 Rana. The frozen variety you get next door or at Durga and Sukh Ram (aka Pehelwan’s) on Lawrence Road are all equally good. The obsession for dairy isn’t only limited to sweets. Paneer is clearly a favourite in Punjab and Amritsar is no exception. For the ultimate paneer indulgence, try the paneer bhurji with bread at Pyara Lal (Telephone Exchange), more like a pao bhaji than a dry bhurji (Rs 75 for a generous portion).

Khubi Ram’s Sweets (Katra Ahluwalia). Though I was recommended the moong dal and besan burfis, which certainly weren’t bad, what made me moan in pleasure were the chandrakala, sooji ka halwa and patisa (Rs 90 for a portion of each, burfis included). Chandrakala is basically fried pastry dough stuffed withkoha (cooked and thickened milk pas

Gurdas Ram Jalebi Wala (Rs 10; Katra Ahluwalia). Or to Sharma Sweets (Rs 10), if you’re in the Lawrence Road area. There are two Sharma’s; this doppelgänger dilemma is something you will face for every renowned shop in Amritsar. There is a way to tell them apart, I found — the real McCoy will usually have the number of years it’s been in operation written somewhere on the shopfront. Now both Sharma’s make equally good jalebis but the original one on the right also makes to-die-for gulab jamuns (Rs 10). So take your pick
