Inspiring Story! Amrik Singh’s Hard Work Has Made ‘Babey Di Hatti’ A Loved Pakora Spot In Amritsar

How easy it is for us to sit back, relax and order food online, while visits to local vendor for street food are decreasing day by day. But exceptions do exist! When it comes to ‘Babey Di Hatti’ which is located in Katra Karam singh area of Amritsar, elders as well as kids jump off their seats to reach the shop to have the best pakoras of all times.

The shop run by Sardar Amrik Singh and his sons is very popular in the entire city. It is popular for pakoras, kadi-kulcha, chaap, and aloo tikkis. What makes this shop different from others is the hard work of Amrik Singh at a tender age. Huge respect for this man who refuses to relax and retire! He wishes to serve his shop every day for ten to twelve hours and quit only when his body stops functioning.

‘Babey Di Hatti’, A Family Treasure

As per Amrik Singh, this work was initiated by his elders. He is following the same tradition. Started by his grandfather, he is presently being assisted by the fifth generation. His sons ask him to retire and stop working but he refuses. Amrik Singh is capable of keeping his shop alive in the hearts of people who are not even nearby. Amrik tells how people have migrated to other places but whenever they come, they cannot resist coming to his shop. He tells how kids love this place and do not wish to eat kadi from some other place.

Taleya and Kadi-Kulcha, a deadly combination

This shop is known to serve out of the box combo of eatables. A wired combination of kadi and khameeri kulcha is seen nowhere but at Babey Di Hatti. What captures attention is the ‘Pataur’ pakoda which is the pakora of leaf of arbi or taro root. Chaamp made up of boiled potatoes is another highlight of the shop. Since years, Amrik Singh has been serving fresh and healthy pakoras. What makes it different from others is the love and warmth served along with.

Amrik Singh’s faith in God and his hard work has lead him here. From the times of no food to the times of being a popular food seller, he has seen world changing. He has seen several seasons of life which have made him a tough man. Youngsters need to learn a lot from him. Do not miss visiting this place. Appreciate his pakoras but do not forget to compliment his smile. Kudos to this gem!
