My favorite market in Delhi was its spice market, which happens to be Asia’s largest spice market. The market straddles Khari Baoli, a street near the Red Fort. The street’s name is derived from ‘Baoli’, meaning step well, and ‘Khari’, meaning salty. <\/p>\n

The market dates to the 17th century. Many of the shops have been in the families for a long time, some even run by the ninth- or tenth generations.<\/p>\n

Like all good spice markets, Delhi’s is fragrant, colorful and tempting. Besides a large variety of spices and herbs, you can buy other food items like nuts, tea, pasta and rice. Everything is beautifully displayed. <\/p>\n

Delhi’s Spice Market (Khari Baoli)<\/p><\/div>\n

Khari Baoli is extremely busy — lots of shoppers, traffic, and workers carrying heavy sacs of spices to those who bought them. While it is considered a wholesale market, anyone can purchase just a small quantity. I bought some masala chai and nuts to snack on, both of which were excellent.<\/p>\n
