When a relative recently invited 31-year-old city-based choreographer Kainaz Kas-navia to witness the festival of Lohri in Chandigarh, she decided to extend her trip to Amritsar too, just so she can feast on the street fare. "My husband and I are foodies and we've always been tempted to try the Amritsari food flashed on travel shows on TV. So, we looked up a few addresses online, booked a hotel near the food hubs and enjoyed the street food experience," recalls Kasnavia, who tucked into Aloo Puri at Kanha Sweets, the Roast Chicken and Keema Naan (dubs it 'the best') at the popular Beera Chicken House, and joined the langar at the Golden Temple.
