A perfect dessert for all those who love meetha, a piping hot malpua is something you have to try in Delhi winters. It's a complete delight to bite on these hot, soft, and fluffy malpuas that taste like heaven when served alongside rabdi or dunked in sugar syrup. Either way, they are delicious. Some of the few places to get amazing malpuas during winters would be Bengali Sweet House in CP, Makhan Shah Halwai in Sonarpatti, and Aggarwal Sweets in Munirka.

A crunchy bite of syrup-filled Jalebi with a sip of creamy and warm milk is what we call a perfect way to start the day or rock chilly winter evening in Delhi. You can try this absolutely drooling food combination at several places. Some of them would be Makhan Lal Tika Ram in Bara Bazar, Old Famous Jalebi Wala in Chandni Chowk, and Gulati jalebi centre in Gol Chakkar Road.

3. Momos soups

That feeling of dipping a momo into its red chutney and then biting the very juicy and meaty momo is something every Delhite lives for. It's a special feeling, and we all know eating momos is just something else during winters! 'Mothuk', which is a momo soup, is also a must-try in the city's chilly weather. Head to Yeti in Hauz Has Village, Tashi Delek Food Joint in Dilli Haat, or Ama Thakali in Manju Ka Tila, as they all offer delicious plates of momos and soups!

4. Halwa

A piping hot Makki di roti and Sarson ka saag, with a dollop of white butter, is also something that you need this winter. This dish is one of the most mouth-watering dishes to try in Dilli Ki Sardi, and all we can think of is to bite on them without any more delay. If you are also thinking the same, do try Kake Di Hatti in Chandni Chowk, Pind Balluchi in Dwarka, and Dhaniya Da Dhaba in Lajpat Nagar.

Winters are also about gorging on fried food items, and Bedmi Puri with sabzi is one of them. These puris are made of wheat flour and loaded with urad lentils & spices. It is served with a lip-smacking aloo sabzi which is all about flavours. Shyam Sweets in Chawri Bazaar, Ram Swaroop Halwai in Chawri Bazaar, and Jain Saab Poore Wale in Daryaganj are some of our favourite spots to have them.

9. Fried fish and Fish Tikkas
