World Famous BIKANERI BHUJIA I Bhujia ( Sandwich + Sabzi + Parantha ) I History, Making & Tasting

► Subscribe to Delhi Food Walks:

In today's episode Anubhav is on a quest to experience the extraordinary glory of Rajasthan's favourite snack, the Bikaneri bhujia. It is an indispensable part of the cuisine out here and hence it won't be an exaggeration to state that it is the lifeline of Rajasthan. Today this distinctly flavourful savoury snack has become a favourite treat all over the country and even beyond because it is such a versatile thing that complements most of the food items. People have paired it with both sweet and savoury options.
Its unique taste and texture is solely attributed to the local climate, water and ingredients. Consequently Bikaneri bhujia has the GI certification that acknowledges it's quintessential characteristic.
In this journey undertaken to experience it up close and personal, Anubhav is being joined first by Giriraj Ji and next by two city based food bloggers Amiit and Gaurav. It introduces us to the small scale bhujia production, the large scale production and some fascinating dishes made of the same. We braced ourselves for some interesting stories, anecdotes and experience related to this king of namkeen.
First Giriraj ji took Anubhav to a small scale bhujia shop Guru Kripa Namkeen bhandar in the old city to show how it is made by hand. Here he got to know how this simple snack is prepared using mother dal flour, besan, pepper and salt. The process seemed simple but it was actually not for extruding the bhujia dough closer to the boiling oil is a thought task. It is the marvellous expertise of the workers. Here he also learnt about the different variations in terms of the width. So there are the fine ones and the thick ones. The bhujia here was quite fresh and tasty. The owner informed us how they maintain the quality by changing the oil on a daily basis.
Thereafter we met Gaurav who took us to Medical College Circle to try bhujia sandwiches. Unfortunately it was here that our drone crashed leaving the team sad. But the hearty bhujia sandwich and the prospect of further exploration eased the grief. It was a crisp grilled sandwich filled with a mixture of bhujia, onions, capsicums, tomatoes and some spices. It was an easy to grab fun snack.
After this we paid a brief visit to the manufacturing unit of Bhishanlal Babulal Namkeen. They are one of the popular namkeen brands. Owner Pawan Agarwal told us about the process, the characteristics and the consumption. He then suggested Anubhav to try the monn paratha which is made of that dough which sticks to the huge perforated ladle used to extrude the bhujia into the oil. It was half done stuff. This seems very interesting so we collected some monn and some bhujia packets and headed to Jeetu Bhai parathe wale vendor at Medical College Circle. This is Amiit and Gaurav's one of the favourite paratha places in the city. Jeetu bhai prepared two kinds of parathas for us one was of bhujia and the other of monn. Bhujia one was crunchy and spicy while the monn one had a soft texture and light flavour in it. Overall it was an enjoyable snack.
Next we reached Mitra Da Dhaba in Pawanpuri to have bhujia sabzi. This quick to make side dish surprised us with its spicy, slightly crunchy, tangy and distinctly flavourful taste. The taste of the bhujia stood out sharply.
Thereafter we went to our final destination which was the manufacturing unit of one of the leading bhujia and namkeen brands, Bhikharam Chandmal. It was a huge facility where bhujia was being prepared both manually and by machine. They have a legacy of more 250 years. We saw the process closely and gathered some really fascinating anecdotes about the snack from Mr. Ashish.
Hope you enjoy the presentation.

Sir, I’m a Bikaner and I stay in Mumbai. I love Bikaner but because your Bikaner tour I’m feeling way too proud about Bikaner sir. Loved the you tried to cover almost all the best places of Bikaner. I just loved the way you thank people who served you food and it shows how much kind hearted you’re. I have become your big fan sir. Wishing you all the success and a very good health sir. Jay Shree Ram🙏🏻

I lived in Sriganganagar for 20 years. Born n raised there. Been to Bikaneer many times. Grew up eating bhujia. You missed one combo that is bhujia and bundi. It tastesvery delicious. 😋 Over all nicevideo and nice info given by owner at the end.

[@vatsanubhav0]

No one has covered Bikaner in such details..... 🔥🔥 Hats off to you sir

[@unmeshkhadilkar306]

Honorable mention. The brilliant North Indian creation "Bhujia bread". I never understood the dish but literally every North Indian friend of mine swears by this.

[@SAURAV15625]

I started the video, paused for sometime, cut some onion, tomato, green chilli, put them in a katori, sprinkled generous amount of bhujia in it, added fresh coriander leaves and a little bit of green chutney. Resumed the video and started enjoying both at the same time.

Sir aap bikaner me hokar bhi bikaji factory nahi gaye or chote shop ko support kiya that's gajab😊

[@charul8437]

It's a delight to know that people speak so passionately about their family business even after centuries.Listening to Ashish Kumar Aggarwal talk so passionately about bhujia really makes you understand why Bikaneri bhujia is still loved all over the world even after so many years.

[@jatindersinghrai21]

Mr. Ashish Agarwal is so clear in his work..... explained everything so beautifully with a smile ❤️

[@chockalingamalagappan1693]

I liked the statement that hand made food has a delicious taste and machine cannot duplicate that imperfection .

[@amitrout9757]

Bhujia Paratha is quite similar to Sev Paratha in Indore. Excellent taste, must try👍

[@sanjayreddy7911]

The food show of Bikaner was good even before today, all your food journey is super hit even today, no matter what happens in India, Bikaneri Bhujia is really delicious as you said in Bhujia's world capital is Bikaner

[@abhineetmutha4921]

This man looks like Mr. Mukesh ambani, just speaks a bit faster.

[@rohanverma1491]

FYI bro he is the mukesh ambani of bhujia industry.

[@saptarshidas5393]

Speaks total sense and quite well too.

[@sanchayshiv1147]

[@neetishsharma9061]

The depth and nuanced understanding of a baniya about his business is simply unmatched. There is simply no end to his profanities. One can sit by him and just listen to him speak on Bhujiya all day long. Proud of our Rajasthani Baniya Community.

[@deepakbhandari4013]

Yes

I m a big fan of Bhujia no matter where it's made but Bikaner is Bikaner. Love from Ganga Nagar

[@koloco]

Very informative and enjoyable, this was one of your better videos, Anubhavji. Mr. Purohit, in the beginning, was more bluster, but Mr. Agarwal made up for it. Learned something new about the iconic food item many of us love. The Haldiram family also has an interesting Kolkata connection, probably due to the Marwari trading community.

[@pareshshah8990]

Congratulations Anubhav ji... Great job. Happy to listen the history of Bhujiya.... I love eating it.

Bikharam chandmal is the second most famous bhujia after Bikaji bhujiya🙏❤

[@akhilpaul696]

This man speaks more sweetly than honey😂🥰🙏🙌

[@user-fm2eb1wq3v]

He spoke so well. Perfect speed, perfect use of words, perfect mix of humour and facts, perfect flow and expression. Baniyas are truly the kings in their field. Along with being peace loving and simple. I will somehow order his product only to feel his taste of bhujiya. I’m sure he’s got a fantastic product. Cheers to such kinds of businessmen.

The manufacturer n seller will promote his wares wholeheartedly to get best profits.. he is recommending bhujia can be eaten any number of times in a day .. Only diseases will follow if not eaten sparingly.. Seeing his body n fitness level he should be a eye opener for all those who wants to indulge
