hey guys Sam here with a final video of my trip to Amritsar in Punjab India

with a few hours to spare before traveling onwards to Bangalore I made

the most of my time in the city with a visit to Durgiana temple (Durgiana Manir - Silver Temple) which is like

a replica of the golden temple plus I could leave without feasting on an

Amritsari Punjabi Thali covered of butter from the naan once again I was

joined by David from David's been here and deepak from Amritsar Walking Tours so

let's go and explore Amritsar together one last time

good afternoon good afternoon guys I'm here with my good friend Deepak I'm

of Amritsar Walking Tours how are you my friend I'm fine so you're gonna be showing us a

couple places we're gonna be eating what's the first place we're going the

first place we are going inside the Hindu temple yeah which is similar the

architectures are very similar to the Golden Temple but it's a Hindu temple as it is

busy inside it is a busy but not like so we're get a bit of an appetite walking

around and I can't wait because we're gonna be having Punjabi Thali

yeah yes it's about the Amritsari special foods like it's about a Makhani dal

that again is about chickpeas it's about vegetables and one more one or two

more things like Amritsari tea so it is a very big thali oh my gosh

so this is a Hindu temple which is a known as a Durgiana Mandir it is also

known as a lakshmi narayan mandir however its architecture is a very

similar to the golden temple as i told to you it is dedicated to one of the

goddess hindu Durgiana lakshmi is one of the goddess of Hindu

which is goddess of wealth and narayan which is protector of the world so there

are literally two temples inside this big complex come with me to explore this

the similarities between this Hindu temple and the golden temple are

apparent as soon as you walk in one major difference though is the crowds

over here there's hardly anyone so instead of having to wait in line to get

inside the main part of the temple we were just able to walk right in so right

now I'm just wandering around the perimeter of the temple so I can get the

best view of it with the sun shining on it hopefully that will make it golden

literally Durgiana temple is one of the most important Hindu temples and all

of Amritsar are it is sometimes referred to as the silver temple because of its

silver doors where you can see the embossed images of deities however

despite the silver in its name it often gets compared to the golden temple and

it's easy to see why just like the golden temple Durgiana temple sits in

the middle of a lake and it's accessible by a bridge plus its central dome and

outer walls are covered in gold making it look like a miniature of the golden

well that is one of the prettiest hindu temples in india but who are my favorite

and very underrated attraction in the city yeah I mean it's not really that

many people here and I think we're ready for the Amritsari Punjabi Thali are

you ready you better believe it man I'm starving let's do it now we are going to

the Bharawan Da Dhaba which is just next to the Golden Temple is the famous

for rich Amritsari Thali would pack in here yeah

Sonali dream of having a million especially to study things special thali

special deluxe thali ok the exciting moment has come the thali have arrived looks

delicious so before we eat it was taking a little bit of a tour so start with the

bread this is a butter naan a so this is a this is yogurt boondi rita the chickpeas called chole chole the first choice of Amritsar people

and the third one is Shahi paneer and the fourth one is Makhani dal oh my gosh my

favorite kind of daal yeah black lentils off

copious amounts of butter and over here we have rice we have both a little bit

of rice a little bit of bread and a few different curries to try so let's dig in yeah

so I'm going to break off a piece of the butter naan I'm gonna go for the Makhani dal

starting with the dal I love it yeah yesterday I gave the whole whole

container you guys serve it's like a buttery explosion of flavor got nine than naan

that's so buttery yeah some part to her a little bit crispy but in the other

parts are just perfectly soft now the actual dal itself I'm gonna try

it oh my gosh that's so good so much flavor so much water paneer

we've got a big piece of paneer put it on there enjoy about it

I've died and gone to paneer heaven I just love any curry that has paneer I

love paneer all the time he's a very creamy you know so creamy

here but really this is we call this chahe paneer paneer the cheese and

Changi means royal royal my god it's a royal feast yeah like we are moving on

to the chole which is the chickpeas that is some more that butter not all that my

hands are covered in butter look at that covered in butter from the naan

knowing they're gonna put in a little bit of chole and it goes yeah

yours wonderful is that each curry has such a distinct flavor and taste it's

not like they're all the same they're all completely different yeah I guess

the last thing for me to do to try a little bit in the rice yeah with the

right when you put some paneer in here and you mix it around a bit and just take a

to be honest I prefer using the naan I like rice but if I didn't have my curry

that was good yeah you can't go wrong with either naan parantha both are winning combos

alright guys so that veg thali was legendary thank you so much deepak for taking us

there it was so good that we basically finished it all David was actually the

one who didn't leave one bite it was so delicious everything was so

good and just around the corner we found a place to have a chai and this is a
