Momos With Spicy Chutney

The streets are overrun by steaming momos during winter in Delhi. It could be veg, chicken or tandoori momos, but nothing beats the spicy red chutney that makes you warm and makes you want more. They are light, hot and ideal as on-the-go snacks.

Chole Kulche

Spicy and tangy chole and soft kulche are a nice winter snack. This North Indian special is tasty and served with onions and green chillies and is wholesome enough to keep you full as you visit the city.

Daulat Ki Chaat

A delicacy that is eaten only during winter, Daulat ki chaat is light, airy and melts in the mouth. It is prepared with milk foam, saffron and dry fruits and is sold early in the morning at Old Delhi and it is like eating the clouds on a cold morning.

Gajar Ka Halwa

Gajar ka halwa screams Delhi winters. The warm dessert cooked slowly in milk, ghee and nuts is sold on the street corners as well as in sweet shops. It is creamy and gratifying and the last thing to do after a food walk.
