The bandi
Fifty years of mornings, one green chutney
In Goshamahal's Gyan Bagh Colony, the day starts at the tawa. The bandi — a street cart grown into a Begum Bazaar institution over decades — spreads butter the way others spread gossip: generously. Paper dosas shatter, idlis steam, vadas crunch.
And then there is the chutney. Where most tiffin rooms ladle coconut, regulars here swear by Laxman's green — the taste the whole neighbourhood wakes up for. Everything is served with chutney and sambhar, priced for the street.
