Food in Hathras
North India, especially Uttar Pradesh bears a striking resemblance to the general lifestyle of the place itself. Spicy, sourly, colourful and of course, sweet! Though the quintessential Awadhi cooking style gives impact to almost everywhere in UP, the food in Hathras has also its own distinctness and variety.
The city falls in the Braj region or the play ground of Shri Krishna; and just like Lord Krishna used to love his makkhan and ghee, this place is popular for food cooked in desi ghee or the clarified butter. The place has both the likeness for vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies. The mouth-watering road-side chaats or kachoris would leave people wanting some more. In non-vegetarian delicacies chicken or mutton galoti and seek kebabs are the most famous. Among other specialities of Hathras are namkeen or the salted Kaji Katli, Bedmi Puri which is a famous breakfast item among the city-dwells and samosas of various size and shapes.
