DELHI (NCR)- Delivery
Food culture in Delhi is a mixture of North Indian food, Mughlai Cuisines, Punjabi food and mouth-watering street food. It also includes a variety of cuisines from different parts of India.
The Turko -Afghan invaders of
Delhi were fond of lamb and poultry but
their food was not very spicy, and
peppercorns were used to liven a dish. The
Mughals, who came thereafter, favoured
various types of meat with ghee, curds &
spices. They were fond of fruits and they
imported grapes and musk melon from
central-Asia. What is today termed
"Mughlai food” in Delhi has little
resemblance to what the emperors ate. It is a
blend of Punjabi & Mughlai cuisine,
standardized so much it tastes same all over
the city
Delhi has people from different parts
of India, thus the city has different types of
food traditions; its cuisine is influenced by
the various cultures. It was once the capital
of the Mughal Empire, and it became the
birthplace of Mughlai cuisine. Punjabi food
is also very much popular due to dominating
Punjabi communities. Delhi cuisine
comprises all types of dishes. Centuries of
global trade, colonization and conquest have
made the city one of the most multicultural
cities in the world & made Delhi, the mecca of
multicultural cuisine,
