They have not eaten a Khichdi like this in
Telangana and Hyderabad. -No! If we are looking for the best substitute for Poha (Flattened Rice),
then this combination is the best. Look at this face very closely,
he is the one you rejected today. Who says that Punekars sleep between 1 to 4? Have you ever visited the Nal Stop at 3 AM?
You'll know, who all are awake and what they get to eat. Hence, I have come to see the late-night Khau Galli here in Pune. So many shops are open here right now, I didn't even imagine
I would get to see a night like this in Pune. Let's start first with Balaji Snacks.
Let's see what we get there. Do you guys regularly eat here? - Yes we are regular here.
What is the best that we can get here? - Poha is the best dish here. You must definitely try. If you see anywhere in this area, the Poha here is the best. So we will eat Poha here, let's go. Thank you. And are you seeing this?
They have built a nice cage around here, because it's late at night, people can come here a bit drunk and they might get violent at times so they have prioritized their safety here. Hello brother. Everyone says if you want to start here with anything then start with Balaji Snacks first, because their Poha is out of this world. How did you start this late-night business?
- It's been two years since we started. So the thing about the night is there are many hostel students here, who are always eager to eat. How come your Poha is so special?
Everyone tells me they are top-class. How come? Our technique is a bit different. Just as we have our Poha at home, slightly sweet, we have the same style here. Let's try the Poha which we are going to eat here in 30rs.
- Sure. - Thank you What does sample mean? - Sample means..uhh..in misal..
- The curry that we put in misal is called sample. Ohh! Then we must eat it with sample only.
This sample should be tried definitely. Brother serve it with sample. This is sample and this is Poha, and its aroma is very fascinating. So we will first try Poha. Let's see how a late-night 3 AM
Poha tastes like. Poha is my personal favourite dish, and this Poha is
very delicious. Because the sample that they have poured here gives you a nice spicy taste at first, and there is this sev, well...sev must always be sprinkled on Poha.
Without sev, even i don't like Poha Coriander and sev, are the must-haves in a Poha. He is one of our day-members. Should I give you a different spoon or does this one work? -This one will work. Sharing is caring brother. - Sharing is caring. Poha is the same as we have in Mumbai but this sev is an add-on because in Mumbai we have a thin textured sev The nylon textured one. - Yes, the nylon textured one. The spiciness is perfect, I mean you won't have any trouble or acidity even if you ate it at 3 AM. So this is a good Poha. I recommend this.
Thumbs-up. Golden Thumbs-up! So we were eating Poha and this brother here said why are you eating Poha. And what is this that you are eating? We are eating Upit(Upma), actually, Poha is overrated and everyone eats Poha. But the Upit here is very good. And most importantly, by coming here regularly, they have now come to know how I like to have my Upit. Upit with a green chutney on top, some sev on top of that, and some onion to top it all. Before I ask them, they ask me first if I would like to have Upit in my pattern. Then order one Upit for me that is prepared in your pattern, we will also eat. ~ Start ~ Will you have some Upit, my friend?
- I just looked in the camera and did 'Yo, yo'! He thought I was Yo Yo Honey Singh but So let's try Upit. Brother, you suggested Upit to me. It's super tasty, I loved it! Why does it taste so good?
- Actually, sev and onion complement that Upit very well. I see. - I mean Poha is obviously good, we eat that daily but if we are looking for the best substitute for Poha,
then this combination is the best. And from what is this prepared?
From Rava(Semolina). - Oh from Rava. Sorry, but we are shooting here.
No problem, no problem. Stuff like this happens, it's okay. It's Khau Galli after all.
Things like this are going to happen in Khau Galli. - People will come and go but food comes first.
Yes, food comes first. First comes the stomach, then everything else. Ohhh, did you get this pro tip? It is priced 30rs,
but when served in a container, they increase the price by 10rs. I give them that myself because taking a container from them free of cost does not seem right. A person should be this much considerate. We ask them to lower the price and he is instead giving them more for a container. Thank you so much, brother. So, this Upit costs 40rs but is it worth it?
I will give a review. Golden Thumbs-up! And I am going to keep on eating this.
So you better cut this and show them something else. So I have now come out of Balaji Snacks.
And now I am having a craving. So where does a person go when he has a craving?
Simple. At Talab Snacks Center. So I will go there and see what tasty dishes I get to try.
Let's go. How do you feel to run a late-night Khau Galli like this?
It's a good experience and a new experience What type of people do you get to meet?
- Of different kinds - Very different people with different minds. And I want to ask you that as a mom, we don't tell our children to go late at night, - Yeah, yeah.
and even you are here as well, so how are you feeling? - See I am clearing that actually, it's a very different type of feeling actually Different feeling, yeah. But you must be knowing that today's youth is not like that. They enjoy it and it's also necessary. - Yeah it should. - Because I also noticed people coming from medical backgrounds - Yes, many shops are closed. - Even they feel that there should be something that's open for them at night. Otherwise, we always have people who crave some or other things.
- Yes they are always there. How did you come up with the name 'Talab Snacks Center'? - I came up with this name. Yes, midnight cravings.
And the youth wants a catchy name. - Correct - So we came up with it accordingly - Just like we have 'Bha2Pa'. Nice. So, we have a dish called Peri-Peri Idli Fry, it's my signature dish.
Then else, in Maggie, you can try Peri Peri Cheese Maggie Ohhh. So a Peri Peri Idli Fry for me. - Yes, sure sure.
- I will try that. ~ Start ~ Idli Peri Peri Fry has come into my hands, it's 4 in the morning and now, I am going to try this. Before eating this, don't forget to do one thing.
If you are eating with your hands, then you must wash it and as I say, we are in Khau Galli. Then how will we wash our hands? For that.
Hands have now been cleaned. No problem in eating now. So let's try Idli Chili Peri Peri Fry. I will not dip it, I will eat it as it is at first. It's very tasty. I like Peri Peri French Fries very much.
But this is leaving even Peri Peri French Fries behind. Idli is soft on the inside and crisp on the outside,
and the Peri Peri masala here is also very tasty. because of that, I found Idli Fry better than the fries. Now I will try this with a dip.
I must ask them about this chutney. This chutney is the one we have with idli.
I mean of course, with Idli Chili I will get Idli's chutney only. But because of peri-peri, this has become a totally different item,
and due to this, this chutney is not going well with it. But leave chutney aside, if you eat this idli, it's very delicious. So it's a Thumbs-up from my side for that reason. What is this dish? - It's called Peri-Peri Cheese Maggie.
- Peri-Peri Cheese Maggie? - Yes. So you know that for youth, maggie means love. - Meaning, the comfort food for the night is maggie.
- Comfort food is Maggie. - What ingredients do you put in this?
- Peri-Peri sauce, then different masalas like magic masala, maggie, some cheeselings on it, and a cheese layer on top.
Let's see how it tastes. Just by looking at it, we can tell it's a heavy item And what I like here is that it has coriander, which I always need. That's the best thing. So let's try. It's hot! It's hot! That hot cheese got stuck on my palate.
However, the taste is awesome. - We can cook this dish at home but we never thought of this. And they won it with the sprinkled cheeselings. The cheeslings bring crunchiness. While eating a soft maggie, you will get a hint of crunchy cheeslings in between. That brings joy. So it's a blast. - Yes it's fun.
- Among the youth, it's a hit item. However, keep in mind that this isn't a maggie that will get cooked in 2 minutes. - Yes Even though it has Peri Peri, it doesn't feel spicy.
You can easily eat it. It's 4 in the morning but you can eat this maggie, because these cheeslings are making it fun. But for me, it only feels like a Thumbs-up, not a golden thumbs-up.
So this is Thumbs-up. Nice. So now, I am heading to Laxminarayan and will see what I get to eat here. Brother, how old is this shop? Can you please come out?
It feels like talking to someone in jail. - No, no. Actually, our first branch is in Somwar Peth, near old Zilla Parishad. - I see. - And I am feeling very great that I am getting featured in BhaDiPa's video. - We also enjoy Bha2Pa very much. What exciting can we get to try here?
- Our specialty here is tea. - Ohh tea. - Our tea and coffee are excellent. - Then, I will have a tea.
I am myself a tea lover, so let's get a tea. ~ Start ~ Tea is here. So now, it's 4:30 in the morning and our usual morning is almost there. Hence, it's the ideal time to have some tea. So let's try this tea. It's very hot. My mind is at peace after drinking this.
What ingredients do you put in this tea? - Can't really say that. How can I tell our tea's mantra?
- Don't tell the mantra, but - It's just like we prepare our usual tea with milk, sugar
- And one special masala - No, no, there is no special masala.
- Then how come the taste is so good? - Let's say it's our love. - We can say that this tea is made with love. - Now you tell me, did you really like it or not.
- It's really good, I am not lying. I never lie on this show. I will say even if I don't like it or even if I like it.
And I liked this tea very much. So it's a Golden Thumbs-up from me It is now 4:45 in the morning and I have come to Amruteshwar.
It's been running here since 1975. It is said that the Nal Stop has got its fame for midnight food because of Amruteshwar. What tasty dishes will we get to eat there? Let's go and find out. So I have got an opportunity to meet with the owner of Amruteshwar. So, I will go and chat with him. So, brother, we have heard that Amruteshwar is recognized as a place, where the late-night Khau galli first started. - Yes. - How did you start here? - Grandfather, I mean my uncle's father, Dighe. Appa Dighe.
He started this here 47 years ago. Previously, there was a paper outlet here. So people who distributed paper, were here in the early morning. Back then, there was no source of tea and breakfast for them.
- Correct. - Everyone started to know that they could get food till late here Some people who leave late from the office come here.
- What can I order? What's one dish that you'd suggest? - Our Poha is famous. Almost everyone knows this as Nal Stop's famous Poha. - Give me Poha and Khichdi both. ~ Start ~ - He is saying don't shoot this Poha and shoot this instead. Why so? - It's good but Poha is the un iversal thing in Maharashtra but this thing is unique. - What he is saying is that Poha is very common in Maharashtra. But he has liked this Sabudana(Sago) very much because he is basically from Hyderabad. We don't know about this in Telangana or Andhra, it's a dish in Maharashtra that is taken on Upwas(Fasting). - They have not eaten a Khichdi like this in
Telangana and Hyderabad. -No! - They don't even know. - How to make Khichdi.
- They don't even know how to make Khichdi. So that's why you've come to eat this in Pune.
- I've traveled 500 km to eat this. - 500 km travel! Now we've got to know from him, that after drinking,
a person can like anything and everything So let's see, if we like anything or not because we haven't consumed anything. You hold this. I will first try Poha. We have already eaten Balaji's Poha and we liked that very much. Let's see how this tastes. And even they have poured something on this. - Curry
- Curry, yes. - Sample, sample, for them it's sample People are coming here drunk and asking for curry,
but what they call it is sample. So let's try this. This Poha is very different, their sample actually tastes like Sambar - It's not very spicy. - Yes. The previous one had some spiciness and hotness,
this one is more like the Sambar we've with Idli. - Yes, the one we've with Idli,
and it has a bit of a nice sour taste to it So that's why the guy that was saying
this doesn't have much taste to it - He must have thought this was a regular. - Yes, he must have thought this was a regular
because it doesn't have much taste to it. - You should have Sambar with Idli only, not with this. - He is saying to have Sambar with Idli only, not with Poha. This is a regular thing of Maharashtra and
this is a unique thing of Maharashtra If you want to have simple Poha, not so spicy, if you want some comfort food. Then this is comfort food. That's why I am giving this a Thumbs-up. Every person knows this dish. He is very mad about this Poha, Bokad(Goat) say something to him. - Hey man, why are you fussing. Look at Amey,
he travels, eats, and sleeps. - And I've noticed one thing.
This style that Pune has unlike Mumbai where we have the same sev everywhere,
they have different-different sev. Now see what is this, it's sliced potatoes no?
- Sliced potatoes, yes. - They have made a sev from this. So let's try it. - Everything is experimental by them. - The peanuts are superb. Look it is filled with peanuts. This Khichdi is awesome!
Because in many places, it's usually very sticky. But the Sabudana in this is non-sticky, that's why all the masalas are coming out properly.
Chili is nice and less spicy. So I can give this... - Golden Thumbs-up?
-Golden Thumbs-up! Because this is comfort food. So now, I have crossed from that foodpath and come here because here we have Govinda. No, not the actor, it's a fast-food center. because I've heard the momos, that are served here, are delicious.
It's now almost 5 AM, we can definitely have some momos. So let's try Momo! Looks like the late-night quarrels have started. Late-night quarrels going on, no? Poor guy liked one girl. Just when he went to talk to her,
she got awkward and ran away. Oh no, what is this. - He got cold feet. - He got scared?!
Why brother, why did this happen? - I didn't feel brave enough
- With so many friends by your side, why didn't you feel brave? - I didn't feel brave because of friends only. - Didn't I tell you to come?
- See you have such a nice friend and you... What are you all doing here now, at this corner? ~ Everyone laughs ~ Anything good that we can get here?
- Hot coffee - Are the momos served here good?
Have any one of you tried momos here? - We haven't tried it yet. - Do you want to? - Yes.
- So let's try the momos here. - Yes! - Thank you, thank you. You please continue what you were doing. Bha2Pa, yes it's on Bha2Pa. It's by BhaDiPA.
- He must reach till that girl. - Look at this face very closely,
he is the one you rejected today. - Rahul Shinde - Shinde brother, now you will get set.
After that, buy our merch ASAP, to tell the world. The link is given in the description. The nightlife that you see here, what is your opinion about this?
What do you feel about the youth that comes to eat here? - College students come here, IT people as well. - Party people?
- Party people come here in huge numbers. - If your Poha is sold out, then what else can I eat that's good? - You can eat Cheese Peri-Peri Maggie
and also Mozzarella Cheese Momos, 45 rs. Chicken as well. - But can one eat Mozzarella Cheese Momos, this early in the morning? - 100 percent. - 100 percent?! ~ Start ~ So this is their Mozzarella Cheese Momos. These are veg. - Yes. It's priced at 100rs and it's mozzarella, let's eat. The size looks good and it feels soft. So let's try now, I've dipped it in the mayo It feels just like a pizza. And it has quantity. See if you open this up, you'll see it has proper mozzarella cheese and veggies as well. So if you want to eat something cheesy and if you have drank a bit too much, and if you want to normalize your stomach by loading it
with cheese, then you should go for this item. It's similar to the cheeseballs we get but because it has a coating of momos, there is also some softness to it. Taste is also good. It's a Thumbs-up. Now this is their Cheese Peri-Peri Maggie. We had one Cheese Peri-Peri Maggie before as well, it had cheeslings in it.
This one looks like a maggie, which is properly filled with cheese. I will taste it and see how it is. I felt this maggie was okay. It's just like the one we prepare at home by adding some cheese. So I think is this maggie is, not bad but still a Thumbs-up Momos was a level up but maggie was decent.
- Yes maggie is decent. We speak the truth that is. - I will give you Pineapple Sheera to taste.
- Oh Pineapple Sheera, it's my favourite. - Woww
- Right, you just keep eating, Bha2Pa will pay for it. - I am seeing tutti-frutti on a sheera for the first time.
- Amazing, amazing! When we were out before, some regular customers told us
to try their sheera. So let's try this sheera then. This is a comfort sheera. - Comfort. - Wait a minute, don't lie openly. Go back. I think this sheera is okay. - Same.
- This sheera is not fitting in my list So I will give this a Thumbs-down. - Okayish
- Okayish So once you are done eating at Nal Stop, if you come walking a bit further and once you reach between the Garware Chowk(Intersection) and Nal Stop, there is a chowk. So if I cross straight from the Swatantra Chowk, then you will get to eat late night or early morning Pani Puri. Hello brother, so I have heard that you serve Pani Puri. - No, we don't. - Then who is it? - It's there, it's closed.
- Oh it's closed?! Okay, let's go ahead. So, I actually came to eat Pani Puri here, but they are saying that the Pani Puri stall closes at 4. That means I've come here at 5:30 am and still, I am late to eat Pani Puri. So now, we have almost eaten everything but there is still one thing remaining that is very special, the First Coffee. Come. Some people are already sitting inside. So come. Hello people! The morning people.
Are you the ones who wake up early or sleep late at night? - We didn't sleep at night. We went out at night. - Oh, so you are the ones who sleep late at night. - We are still here.
- What do you do all night? - Night out.
- Oh, a night out is going on! - Are you a coffee lover? - Yes.
- So which coffee would you like to suggest? - I am trying for the first time. - Everyone looks like a first copy here. - It's my first coffee of the day.
Which coffee should I try? - Currently, hazelnut coffee.
- So, give me hazelnut coffee. At what time do you open and at what time do you close this? - It's open from morning 9 to morning 5.
- Morning 9 - To morning 5. - To morning 5. So has it now opened at morning 5 now?! Hey smarty, that's why you should sleep 8 hours at night. I've come here so early in the morning and
this shop is now closing. What's going on in Pune?! - Okay, so give me your Hazelnut Coffe before you close this.
Thank God I am at least here on time. ~ Start ~ You have even drawn a heart for us.
So let's try the coffee. The hazelnut coffee is now in our hands.
So let's have one sip of First Coffee. It's of 89rs, with a discount of 1rs over 90 Early morning, first coffee, awesome! For this coffee, just by taking one sip, I will give it a Golden Thumbs-up! - Your moustache says it all. - Oh does it?
- Yes your moustache says it all. It's on another level. First Coffee has made us really happy.
First Coffee is now our first choice - So on that note, I will end this episode here. How did you feel watching this late-night Khau Galli in Pune? If you know any item and if you think that Amey should eat this item, then please tell me that. I will come again. I will come again. We don't care. - We like eating.
- We eat a lot. We can eat at any time as you noticed today. - So please, do comment. Do subscribe to Bha2Pa, to BhaDiPa, and to Vishay Khol as well And do purchase our merch, which we wear and roam around.
