Delhi’s favourite season is back, and so are the winter-special delicacies that might not be available during the summers. From having chai-pakoda on a chilled evening at home to brunching at your favourite restaurant while basking in the sun. Delhi’s winter is all about having good food! Here’s a list of must-have dishes that you can’t miss during the winters in Delhi.

P.S: You can order these online on Zomato and Swiggy. However, if you still wish to eat out then don’t forget to wear a mask and maintain social distance.

A visit to Old Delhi seems incomplete without a visit to the Karims. One of the oldest food joints at Chandni Chowk, serving lip-smacking Mughlai food. You can smell the rich aromatic spices from a far distance. This restaurant has been on my list for a long time. In the winter of 2018, I finally made a trip to Old Delhi exclusively to eat at the Karims.

Explore Delhi’s first arboretum, Sunder Nursery, which is home to more than 300 trees and natural habitats, from wetlands to densely forested areas. This newly restored heritage park is located in Nizamuddin West, next to the Humayun’s Tomb complex. Formerly known as Azim bagh, the park spreads over 90 acres of lush green gardens, water bodies, and many UNESCO world heritage monuments.

The culinary style of Bengal is diverse, especially when it comes to their main course. Moreover, they follow a multi-course tradition where the food is eaten in a specific order. The rice (being the staple food) is eaten with a variety of Bhaja (Vegetables fried in mustard oil) at first. Followed by Saag (Spinach fried in mustard oil and black cumin seeds). Then comes the Shukto, a mixture of vegetable prepared in a special spice called Paanch Phoron. Followed by Maach or Mangsho (Fish or Mutton/ Chicken curry). The meal ends with Chutney that is sweet and sour and mainly made of Tomatoes along with Kheer (Rice pudding) or any Bengali sweet.
