Besides being the country’s capital, many foodies often crown New Delhi as the capital of great culinary discoveries. From hole-in-the-wall eateries in the city\u2019s old quarters to glitzy establishments serving up innovative fusion fare, Delhi has it all. For the dedicated foodie, Delhi offers an invitation to experience and deep-delve into its kaleidoscope of flavours. Start by savouring the widely popular butter chicken<\/em>. Simmered to a silky perfection, the rich, buttery texture of the gravy with tender pieces of smoky chicken is hard to resist, especially when paired with naan slathered with more butter (why not?) \u2013 this is a match made in the food heavens. Next, step up your palate game by trying the Punjabi classic dish, chole bhature<\/em> \u2013 a fluffy deep-fried bread served with a delicious curry made out of chickpeas and topped with ginger juliennes and onion rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delhi is also popular for its street food \u2013 called chaats<\/em>, so be sure to try a variety, ranging from sweet, tangy, and spicy, to savoury and coming in myriad vegetarian combinations. Those with a sweet tooth can reward themselves with a bowl of shahi phirni <\/em>\u2013 a lightly saffron and cardamom-scented rice pudding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
