A lazy weekend trip to see some history and heated exchanges on the border turned out to be a completely foodie trip instead, at the end of it.
Having taken a volvo to Amritsar, a lazy morning at the hotel allowed us to start off the trip on some paratahas. We checked off the boxes as soon as we could: Jallianwallah Bagh, the ceremony at the Wagah border in the evening, the Golden temple as well as the procession bringing out the Guru Granth Sahib at 4 in the morning and the look alike temple as well. All of these have their own charms and the Golden Temple is particularly fantastic any give time of the day or night.
The highlight of the trip however was the food. The Kesar da dhaba where Madhu claimed Nehru and Sardar Patel had eaten was of course truly a foodie paradise. Despite being nestled away in some corner of the town, it was full. Other edible attractions included the lassi (malai maarke) and the Pakistani food restaurant a couple of kilometers before the border. The parathas everywhere also more than lived up to their reputation.
