The food vlogger reveals that daulat ki chaat was once enjoyed by Mughal emperors during their lavish dawaats. The video begins with a vendor churning a mixture of milk and cream using a mathani (wooden churner). This process creates a frothy texture, which is then poured into a separate pan. Saffron milk is added and whisked thoroughly before even more saffron milk is drizzled over the mixture. The light and airy frothy balls are topped with sheets of varq (edible silver paper) and crumbled kurchan. Finally, the chaat is garnished with chopped pistachios, karara (coarsely powdered sugar) and dry fruits.
A flurry of reactions appeared in the comments section.
“Try Lucknow ka malai makhan,” suggested a foodie.
“Daulat ki chaat in Delhi and maliyo in Banaras,” read a remark.
Sharing their own experience a person revealed, “This shop is good. I tried.”
A user was relieved that the vendor was wearing gloves while preparing the dish.
