Know It All In 30 Seconds
As they say, you don’t have to wander far from home to get inspired! Zaika-e-Nizammudin (ZeN) is a women Self Help Group supported by Aga Khan Foundation. Carrying forward the culinary legacy of their nani-ammis and dadi-ammis, these women are using authentic 700-year old recipes to feed not only the undernourished children of the basti but anyone and everyone who wants a zaika of the rich Nizamuddin Mughlai cuisine!
What To Expect?
This venture has given wings of self-reliability and economic independence to these basti women. You can place your orders a day in advance if it’s for more than 20 people and they’ll even deliver to your doorstep. Everything is as fresh as it gets because the ingredients are sourced as per the requirements. The aroma wafting off from their pans is not just of lip-smacking food but also of struggle and perseverance of these superwomen!
What You’ll Love?
From fragrant biryani to melt-in-the-mouth kebabs, from crispy namkeen to atta-besan and til-gud laddoos, these women prepare everything with utmost love and hard work! The icing on the cake is that they don’t use any frozen products or preservatives in their delicacies and everything is super hygienic!
Bottom Line
If you like your food served with a dash of inspiration and a side of stories about persistence and courage then make your way to the bawarchikhana of ZeN in the galis of Nizamuddin basti and you won’t be disappointed!
