You step off the main road and into a lane that smells of frying oil, warm spices, and charred sugar — the guide points to a narrow stall where pyaaz ki kachori hisses on a tava and an old woman folds samosa dough with practiced hands. The tour moves at the tempo of the market: quick stops, loud vendors, the rhythm of plates being passed and chai being poured into clay cups.
