From the Mughals&#8217; aromatic spices to the Marwaris&#8217; vegetarian delights, the city&#8217;s roadside restaurants and street-food stalls tell stories from across the ages. Underpinning it all is a deep passion for good food that&#8217;s integral to the city&#8217;s heritage. A self-styled  epicurean adventure may seem overwhelming to plan at first. But travelling on a specialist <a href=\"\/india\/india-real-food-adventure-166919\">food trip<\/a> or <a href=\"\/india\">small-group adventure<\/a> often makes the prospect of trying these dishes a lot less intimidating and a lot more informative \u2013 especially when steered by a <a href=\"\/about\/meet-intrepid-leaders\">local leader<\/a>.&nbsp;For an insider take on the best street-food dishes to try, look no further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack.jpg\" alt=\"Aloo tikki being cooked in India.\" class=\"wp-image-69686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Urban-Adventures-India_Delhi_Streetfood_Snack-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taste aloo tikki \u2013 first introduced to India by sailors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

Finely sliced onions and pomegranate are often added for flavour and texture. Now a favoured north Indian snack, they actually don&#8217;t actually originate in <a href=\"\/india\">India<\/a> \u2013 but were introduced to the subcontinent by Portuguese traders and sailors during the early 17th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

While you wait for your order, you can often watch the precision with which dough is kneaded and rolled out into thin circles before being pan-fried in hot oil or ghee, before you taste layers of flaky perfection. The ultimate spot for this staple treat is the historic Paranthe Wali Gali \u2013 a narrow street in Old Delhi&#8217;s Chandni Chowk market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Kababs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s near impossible to miss the smell of tender pieces of meat, expertly marinated and skewered, grilling on an open flame. From minced-mutton seekh kababs and smoky chicken boti kababs to veggie options like paneer tikka and green, patty-like hara bhara kababs, there&#8217;s something for everyone. They&#8217;re often accompanied by a refreshing mint chutney and crunchy onion slivers.\u00a0If you&#8217;re short on time, paneer tikka is one of the dishes you can try on a nine-stop-hop, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanadventures.com\/en\/delhi\/delhi-delhi-food-walk-adventure\">street-food tour with Urban Adventures<\/a>, that covers a lot of ground \u2013 and <em>food <\/em>\u2013 in only three hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

The batter \u2013 a mixture of fermented all-purpose flour and yoghurt \u2013 is skilfully piped directly into scalding oil to create twisty shapes. Then, the jalebis are cooked until crisp, pulled out of the oil and finally soaked in a cardamom sugar syrup. The result is a chewy, crumbly texture that gives way to a soft, spongy interior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Kulfi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t leave Delhi without enjoying this ancient version of ice cream. The much-loved frozen dessert is made by simmering milk for hours with sugar, cardamom and saffron (and sometimes nuts) until it transforms into a thick, creamy concoction. The mixture is then frozen in moulds. You can have it straight up or try it with different toppings.
