What the creator captured
Mark Wiens Abroad explored the rich, ghee-laden flavors of Amritsar, joking that his blood group had changed to 'ghee positive' due to the heavy use of clarified butter in every dish. He was particularly impressed by the unique winter specialty Gur ka halwa and the surprising combination of sweet halwa paired with savory kachori. The journey highlighted the incredible hospitality of local shop owners and the diverse textures of Punjabi sweets.
