Chole Bhature

No amount of appreciations or adjectives are adequate to describe people’s love for Sita ram diwan chand chole bhature, isn’t it? A plate of spicy chole, hot fluffy bhature, some onions and pickle is enough to make someone’s day! No doubt, Delhi is one of the best places for a perfect chole bhature meal.

Aloo chaat

What else can be better than nibbling piping hot bitto tikki wala aloo chaat on a rainy or winter day! The chaat bhandars are always crowded with epicures craving for their special treats. Flaming hot chaat, topped up with spicy and sweet chutney is an absolute brew.

Ram laddoo

I bet as soon as I say “ladoo”, a picture of acclaimed sweet orbed-dish arises in your mind. Well, ram ladoo at central market is basically a type of pakora or vada made up of dals and spices. A quick snack of ram ladoo along with grated radish and chutneys is palatable as well as easy on your pockets!

Parathe

A vada pav, kachori or dosa could be a good breakfast. But, do you know what could be the best? Golden moolchand paratha with overloading stuffing! Have it with yogurt or pickle- it tastes the best. Panner, aloo, pyaz or keema, parathas are a blessing.
