1. The Trusty Samosa!
An obvious number 1, because who doesn't love a samosa?! and trust me, they taste a million times more amazing fresh. Hot, crisp pastry triangles stuffed with deliciousness (usually potato and onion).
2. Masala Dosa
This is a crispy crepe-like wrap made using fermented rice and lentil batter with a layer of masala potato stuffed/ spread in it and usually served with chutneys and sambar. It's a very popular breakfast dish but we could eat it all day everyday!
3. Ram Laddoos
These soft, deep-fried balls are made from split green gram flour and mixed with spicy green mint and shredded radish and topped with green chili sauce, onions, and shredded cabbage. MELT IN YOUR MOUTH!
4. Poha
Another popular breakfast dish, Poha is flattened rice mixed with mint, nuts, raisins, and lots of spices. This particular dish was topped with coconut and pomegranate seeds. It kind of tastes like a souped up porridge!
5. Vada & Idli
2 separate dishes, however a local recommended we have them together covered in sambar and coconut chutney, and we think she's on to a winner! Vada is crispy deep fried lentil batter in the shape of a doughnut, and Idli is a steamed rice cake. Both taste pretty similar, but with different textures, throw in the sauce and you have yourself another tasty treat!
6. Kachori
This snack is similar to a Samosa, it is a deep fried round patty with a gramflour, daal (lentils), and spices filling. It is usually served with curry, or spicy chutney. If you like your Samosas, you're going to like Kachori!
These are just a hand full of the snacks on offer to fuel your day sightseeing! Whether you are looking for something sweet or savory, Delhi has something to offer everyone! So get out and explore the food capital of India, and make your taste buds dance!
