ANY PERSON RESIDING OR BORN AND BROUGHT UP IN DELHI IS CALLED A DELHIITE. DELHI HAS BEEN THE CENTER OF A SUCCESSION OF MIGHTY EMPIRES AND POWERFUL KINGDOMS, MAKING DELHI ONE OF THE LONGEST SERVING CAPITALS AND ONE OF THE OLDEST INHABITED CITIES IN THE WORLD. DELHI IS A METROPOLITAN CITY WITH A PREDOMINANTLY NORTH INDIAN POPULATION MADE UP OF THE FUN-LOVING PUNJABIS, THE ROBUST HARYANVI, THE SOBER
UPITE AND THE GENTLER RAJASTHANIS AS A RESULT, EVEN THE TRADITIONAL FOOD OF NEW DELHI HAS NO DISTINCTIVENESS. IT COMPRISES OF SOUTH INDIAN FOOD, PUNJABI FOOD, GUJARATI FOOD, RAJASTHANI FOOD AND SO ON….. ALTHOUGH DELHI IS NOT CHARACTERISTIC OF ANY TYPICAL FOOD CULTURE THE MOST POPULAR CUISINE THAT IS MOSTLY ENJOYED BY THE LOCALS IS MUGHLAI CUISINE. SINCE THE MUGHAL DYNASTY RULED OVER THE CAPITAL FOR CENTURIES THE FOOD IN NEW DELHI IS VERY MUGHLAI. THE INFLUENCE OF THE MUGHAL RULE CAN BE FELT IN THE FOOD AND FOOD HABITS OF THE LOCALS OF THE REGION. ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE MUGHALS TOWARDS CUISINE WAS THE TANDOOR, WHICH IS AN EARTHEN OVEN USED TO PREPARE ROTIS AND KEBABS. THE ONE EXCLUSIVE FEATURE HOWEVER ABOUT DELHI EATING JOINTS IS THAT THE CAPITAL CITY HAS A FEW STREETS AND LANES THAT ARE TOTALLY DEDICATED TO FOOD AND THERE ARE CERTAIN FOOD ITEMS FOR WHICH DELHI IS QUITE FAMOUS AND FOR WHICH IT’S ALSO CALLED AS THE FOOD CAPITAL OF INDIA. SOME OF THE POPULAR ROAD SIDE EATERIES IN DELHI INCLUDE PLACES LIKE PARANTHE WALI GALI, GHANTEWALA, BENGALI MARKET, GREATER KAILASH, KITRI NAGAR, CANNOUGHT PLACE, KAROL BAGH ARE FAMOUS FOR ENTERTAINING THEIR GASTRONOMES WITH KEBABS, ROTIS CHAAT, BHELPURI, SWEETMEATS, BIRYANIS AND WHAT NOT…. SO DELHI IS TRULY “UNITY IN DIVERSITY”
