The Story of Spices-A Curated Food Walk in Agra

About the walk

Walking down the lanes of Agra leaves one enamoured by the aroma of different spices, the various food stalls and the city’s diverse cuisines. Be it the centuries-old spice shops at Rawatpara or the delectable mutton stew at Pakiza Meat Shop, it is amazing how different spices and flavours have blended into the living history of the city. Modern versions of the original dishes have created new flavours that still retain the cultural significance of the dish.

 Join us on a food tour across the old city as we take you on a journey of a myriad palates, with a variety of dishes ranging from Mughlai non-vegetarian cuisine to braj ke bhalle. We will also discuss how the different spices/preparations used by generations have influenced the food and living culture of the city.

 

This guided tour is free.
