Kachauri Gali

Dotted with weathered, blackened cauldrons bubbling with hot oil, Varanasi’s Kachauri Gali is one of the city's main landmarks near the ghats. The Vishwanath Gali transforms into the Kachauri Gali as soon as you pass the famous Vishwanath temple. This is where the famous kachauris are fried and served fresh with chana and imli chutney. Arrive as early as 7 AM to beat the rush and dig into the hot fried kachauris. Make sure you are not too late, as the street falls into a lull soon after breakfast.
