The city's signature plate.

The dark, slow-cooked chickpeas that come with everything.

Battered, fried, dusted with masala, eaten standing up.

Punjab's best-known export, on home ground.

Thick enough to need a spoon.

Barfi, pinni, ladoo — and the shops that have made them for generations.

Best eaten within a minute of leaving the syrup.

Tikki, chaat, papdi, bhalla — the evening circuit.

Coffee, air conditioning and a place to sit down.

Easy to eat well without meat anywhere in the city.

Parathas, white butter, curd and chai — early.

Dhabas, sit-down kitchens and family restaurants.
