Delhi is known to be the food capital of India, and an array of mouth-watering delicacies at every nook and corner of the city screams the same. From chaats, kebabs, samosas, and momos to garma-garam chai in Dilli Ki Sardi, one can never run out of lip-smacking food when in the capital city. However, there’s one food out of all of them that is synonymous with Delhi: chole bhature. The North Indian combination of chana masala with deep-fried bhaturas is a staple Sunday breakfast for a majority of Delhiites, and we are not complaining!
