Savor Some Hot Delicacies This Winter

Its winter-time once again in Delhi and NCR (National Capital region) and surprisingly the onset itself has been quite chilling. A lazy morning where you fight everyday with the quilt and a lazy evening where you wish to watch a good movie with some hot foods are some trademarks of the winters of Delhi. Well, there is much more than the spine-chilling winters of Delhi, it is about Delhi food delicacies.

In fact foodie like me always waits for the winters, so that I can keep on munching restlessly for three months. Delhi is famous for its non-veg items and sweet dishes. Let us take some non-veg specialties of Delhi.

Seekh Kabab: Perfect snack for a chilly evening, Seekh Kabab contains minced meat with flour and spices which is then baked in tandoor (earthen oven) or electric oven. It is also roasted on live-wood charcoals. A perfectly prepared seekh kabab can leave you licking your finger. The variety includes chicken and mutton seekh kababs in different flavors.

Tandoori Chicken: This is highly popular chicken delicacy of Delhi where the marinated chicken is roasted in tandoor, hence the name “Tandoori Chicken”. The most alluring thing about this item is that it is succulent from inside and crispy from outside. The dish is said to have been invented by Kundan Lal Gujral (owner of famous Moti Mahal restaurant in Peshawar) before the Indian Independence era who migrated to India after partition in 1947.

Chicken Tikka: It is also a descendant of tandoori chicken but it has evolved to make its own mark in the savored food items of Delhi. It contains small pieces of chicken (boneless), marinated with spices, skewed, and roasted in tandoor (clay oven).
