A visit to the narrow lanes of Old Banaras is complete only after sampling their irresistible street food, deemed to be the best in North India.
Malaiyo is a winter delicacy available towards the end of November till the first week of March. This scrumptious sweet is found in almost every gully of Banaras though locals swear that the best malaiyo is available in Thatheri Bazaar and Chaukambha specifically the Markandey Sardar (Markandey ki Malaiyo) shop opposite Shri Goplaji Mandir which was patronized even by royal families.
According to the locals, Banarasi malai was first prepared centuries ago in the Pakka Mahal at Chaukhamba. It made its way to the Chaukhamba Gopal Mandir and then slowly vendors learned how to make this unique milk sweet.
