Namaste and welcome back to Tasty Trails Travel Pod! 🌏✨

In this episode, we’re heading to Northern India with returning guest Sahana Kulur—travel writer, architect, and passionate vegetarian foodie. After exploring Southern Indian cuisine in her last visit, Sahana is back to guide us through the rich, diverse, and flavor-packed world of Northern Indian food.

We dive deep into the vibrant street food culture of Varanasi—one of the oldest living cities in the world. From crispy kachori sabzi and tangy chaats to creamy lassi and the iconic winter delicacy malaiyyo, this episode is a feast for your ears (and will definitely leave you craving Indian food).

Along the way, we explore:

• The key differences between Northern and Southern Indian cuisine
• How history, religion, and geography shape food culture
• Must-try dishes in Varanasi (and what to skip)
• Street food tips to stay safe while eating like a local
• The fascinating contrasts that make Varanasi so unique

⚠️ Fair warning: You will want Indian food after this episode.

Happy listening—and happy eating! 🍛
