I took a Rickshaw from Chawri Bazaar to go to Aal Jawahar but stopped on the way when I found a 'Daulat ki Chaat' khomcha. It was really tasty but was disappointed that he was using refined (white ) sugar rather than bhoora. My 4-yr old loved it as well. When we reached Al Jawahar, they were finished with Nihari so I went to the adjacent jawahar hotel. Nihari was ok as long as you are willing to ignore that really tiny three pieces of meat. My son had the sooji-halwa which was very ordinary. Not satisfied, I came to Al Jawahar and asked for paya. While the gravy was tasty, the paya may as well have been chicken's! I know it wasnt and the restaurant deserves the benefit of doubt as at 1030, I must have been served the last remnants. My son had the sheermal, and with all his life in Europe only description he could find was that they were really 'nice, thick pancakes' (sic) On the way back we again had Daulat ki Chaat. I liked this version as compared to the 'malai makkhan' popular in Lucknow as no sugar is added to the malai which means that you can savour malai's inherent sweetness. In Lucknow, they mix the mava/khoa and sugar in the malai-froth itself.
