Malaiyo from Varanasi 

The holy city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh boasts a heavenly winter delicacy that is a must-try during the cold months. During your visit here, you must have a taste of sweet malaiyo, which is saffron-flavoured milk foam and served with dry fruits in an earthen container. Its melt-in-the-mouth texture and delicious taste will give you an experience you’ll never forget!

Sarson ka saag from Punjab

A trip to Punjab is incomplete without savouring the winter-special and authentic sarson ka saag with makki ki roti. It is a famous vegetarian dish prepared using freshly picked mustard leaves and laden with homemade butter. It’s best enjoyed with equally buttery and hot makki ki roti, which is a flatbread made using maize flour. One taste of this dish, and you’ll keep going for more. 

Litti Chokha from Bihar 

Bihar is known for incredibly divine traditional cuisine that is full of flavour and spices. And litti chokha is an immensely popular dish that you just have to try here. It is a rustic dish that includes stuffed whole wheat dough balls and served with a spicy side of mashed potatoes, eggplant, and other vegetables. And a generous amount of ghee poured over it makes the meal wholesome. 

Beetroot Thoran from Kerala

If you’re looking for a simple and healthy dish to savour, then this tasty coconut-based stir fry from Kerala cuisine is something you will surely love! This dry vegetable dish is an integral part of Kerala food served with traditional South Indian meals on a banana leaf. Once you get a taste of it, you will reach out for second and third servings without a doubt! 

Oondhiya from Gujarat

Gujarat has its version of a special vegetable curry dish that is a highlight of the traditional cuisine here. You must try oondhiya, also called undhiyu, which is a mixed vegetable dish with fenugreek dumplings added to it. The flavours and mild spices in this dish cooked in an earthen pot will make for a perfect winter meal with your family. 

Jalebis from Delhi

We’re all well-versed with the mouth-watering street food of Delhi, out of which crispy hot jalebis are a must-have during winters.
