Zaika-e-Nizamuddin, a catering and delivery kitchen that works from within Nizamuddin, sells traditional home-cooked food to customers all over Delhi. Zaika-e-Nizamuddin began in 2012 under the Nizamuddin Urban Renewal Initiative of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), after a study conducted in 2010 by Ambedkar University found that more than 50% of children that live in the area were malnourished. To battle the junk food that children consume, which the study found was the main cause of malnourishment, women were brought together to make laddoos and namkeen (salty snacks), to provide a healthy alternative. Under the AKDN project, in which many aspects of Delhi’s cultural heritage have been preserved, Zaika-e-Nizamuddin expanded into a women’s self-help group that cooks and sells food native to the Basti.
