Delhi's chilly days call for a taste of winter through food that warms, comforts and brings people together. As the winter chill catches up with you, light up with vibrant, nostalgic, and flavourful delicacies. A hot cup of tandoori chai on a winter morning is a must-have. Pour it into a blazing hot kulhad straight from the tandoor, and the earthy flavour blends perfectly with the frothy chai. Nothing compares to the comfort of a soft, syrup-soaked, hot gulab jamun From kesar milk and badam milk to slow-cooked kadhai doodh, these hot milk-based drinks are winter staples in the lanes of Delhi.
