Thanks, delicious Quora thread . Now I’m craving something that’s 1,000 miles away.
Jalebis (Varanasi)
Gloriously sticky orange coils of deep-fried wheat flour soaked in sugar syrup. You can also find them across south Asia, the Middle East and east Africa.

Kachori sabzi (Varanasi)

Malaiyo (Varanasi)
A winter dessert peculiar to Vanarasi. Made with cardamom and pistachio, it tastes buttery but feels foamy on the tongue, and it's served in little clay pots which you smash on the ground when your meal is over.
