    Where

    Order the mirchi bada straight from the fryer and eat it standing up, before the batter softens. The kachori queue swallows the counter between eight and ten, so come earlier or wait until eleven.

    Ask for a mirchi vada with the chai rather than the kachori everyone else is buying. Seating is a handful of stools, parking is hopeless, and Sunday mornings the crowd spills into the lane.

    This is the mirchi vada served sitting in tangy kadhi, which is the reason to come. The shop is a slot in the lane beside Lassiwala with nowhere to sit, so eat it standing.

  4. Mohan Mirchi Bhandar (Niwaru Road)

    Niwaru, Jhotwara Jhotwara and Vidhyadhar Nagar

    Where
    Mohan Mirchi Bhandar, near the government school, Niwaru Road, Niwaru, Jhotwara, Jaipur 302012

    One dish only, and it is enormous, so a single piece with kadhi is a meal. Cash only, no seating beyond the kerb, and the frying stops by mid-afternoon whatever the board says.

  5. Sodhani Sweets (Tonk Road)

    Bapu Nagar Raja Park and Adarsh Nagar

    Where
    SB-108 Tonk Road, opposite the Nagar Nigam office, Bapu Nagar, Jaipur 302015

    The mirchi bada here is fried through the day, so mid-afternoon works as well as breakfast. It is a full sweet shop, so ignore the mithai counter pulling you sideways and order at the namkeen side.

    Where
    4545 Gangori Bazar Road, Kanwar Nagar, JDA Market, Jaipur 302001

    A namkeen counter in the Gangori Bazar lanes, where the mirchi vada comes out of the same kadhai as the bread pakoda. Go on foot; the lane is too narrow to park anything in.

    Open
    7:30am to 11am, or until it sells out
    Where
    Near Mashoor Punjabi Kirana, opposite Hanuman Dhaba, Raja Park, Jaipur 302004

    A breakfast counter that shuts by eleven, so this is an early stop and nothing else. Take the mirchi vada with a pyaz kachori. Popular items go in minutes and there is no seating to speak of.
