Anju Prajapati/Rampur: A dumpling shop located in Thana Ganj, Rampur, which is 75 years old, still maintains a special identity among the people. This shop was started by Harsh Arora’s grandfather when he came to Rampur from Pakistan. His grandfather had started making pakodas here and now Harsh Arora runs this shop. This shop has now reached its third generation and fresh and crispy pakodas are made here every day. Harsh Arora says that potato-onion mixed pakodas are sold the most. There is a constant flow of people eating pakodas here from 8 am to 8 pm. This dumpling is always on the lips of customers.
The special thing in making pakodas is that home-made spices are added to them, which further enhances the taste of pakodas. Many types of pakodas like potato, onion, cabbage, spinach, radish and brinjal are made here. The taste of every dumpling is different and full of freshness, which attracts customers again and again. Spicy chutney and chaat masala are added to the pakodas and then these pakodas are put in leaves and served to the customers. According to Harsh Arora, potato-onion mixed pakoda is the best seller at his shop and there is no comparison to its taste.
People visiting the shop say that the taste here is different from other places. Harsh Arora says that this shop has become like a tradition, which is now a part of the identity of Rampur. The price of pakodas is Rs 160 per kg, which is quite reasonable and fits into the budget of the customers.
The popularity of this shop has increased with time, and every day new customers come here to eat pakodas.
