Khari Baoli Indian Spice Market Old Delhi India Chandni Chowk

It's like stepping back in time, and you know you are there by the smell of spices and exotic marsala mixes that permeate the air. Khari Baoli is Asia's largest wholesale spice market located by the Fatehpuri Masjid on the western end of the main Chandni Chowk Road in Old Delhi. It's here you will have the unique experience of viewing the whole process of market of loading, carrying or unloading of huge sacks of items from manual trolleys, shopkeepers busy in dealing with the customers, customers selecting large quantities of items and weary laborers resting and chatting aloud. The overall appearance seems to be very chaotic but in reality it is very well managed if kept in consideration the fact that such a large amount of trading of small items are carried out daily.
The market has a good reputation for being the best in Delhi as far as quality and price of any item here is concerned. Though it is a wholesale market but still one can purchase small quantities of any items widely displayed on all the shops. Apart from being a cook's delight, the market also sells wide range of other items like household soaps, varieties of rice, nuts and sugar among the many items.

Love it. The spices you get are just somehow better. I remember some Chili Masala I got there. Hot as blazes but also gone from your mouth as soon as you stop eating it. Also mostly a front of mouth experience. Hard to put into words.
