One source: 'BIKANERI BHUJIA WAS BORN IN 1877 WHEN A HALWAI FRIED MOTH-DAL DOUGH THROUGH A PEPPER SIEVE.' Still made in the city and sold nationally. The original shop is named as BHIKHARAM CHANDMAL'S, behind KOTE GATE.
To experience the authentic taste of Bikaneri bhujia, visit the local shops in Bikaner's old town. It's best to go during the cooler part of the day, when the snack is freshly prepared and the streets are less crowded. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, as you may need to walk through narrow alleys to find the best bhujia sellers. To reach the old town, you can typically take a local mode of transport, such as a rickshaw or a taxi, from the city center. Before heading out, check locally for the current timings and fees for any guided tours or tastings, as these may vary.
