The Sweet Scent Of Dilli Ki Sardi: 5 Essential Desserts To Try 

By Jasmine Kaur

While Delhi winters are quite popular so much that even songs are made on it, it is these winter desserts that make the season even more special and sweet. 

Daulat Ki Chaat 

Grab a bite of daulat ki chaat in Old Delhi because it only lasts 3 months. The richness and nuttiness is believed to have given it the unique name. 

Shahi Tukda 

An interesting dessert that reflects the lingering Mughal influence, shahi tukda is a deep-fried slice of bread, coated in sugar syrup and drenched with a creamy rabri on top. 

Gajar Ka Halwa 

Since fresh red carrots are available in abundance during winter, they are grated and mixed with mawa and sugar to form a gooey gajar ka halwa. 

Rabri-Jalebi 

Deep-fried entangled loops drenched in sugar syrup are referred to as jalebi. This sweet meat is often topped with a copious amount of creamy rabri. 

Moong Dal  Halwa 

Another winter specialty, moong dal halwa is a thick and rich pudding made with moong dal and loads of ghee. Filled with nuts and more, it is a delight to the taste buds.
