During the winter, everyone might crave some cosy and comforting foods that can keep us warm and protected from the chilly weather. Gajar ka halwa, gond ke laddoo, rogan josh, and sarson ka saag are some of the showstoppers of this season. Coming to soupy delights, thukpa is another high-in-demand dish of the winter. Originating in Tibet, it is traditionally made from noodles, meat, and lots of colourful vegetables. You can find both vegetarian and non-vegetarian versions of this soupy noodle dish.
So, if you are looking for some warm and comforting thukpa to relish this winter, here are the top ten spots in Delhi as recommended by city foodies:
