The Mughlai Delight
The most popular cuisine is Mughlai owing its origin in India with the
entry of the Mughals in the 16th century. They introduced a new style of
cooking, using clay ovens or 'tandoors' as they are known. Several local
herbs and spices found their way into these dishes, giving rise to a style
called Mughlai food.
For gourmets, Delhi is synonymous with Mughlai and
frontier cuisines. The best of Mughlai cuisine can be enjoyed at Karim,
situated both in Jama Masjid
and Nizamuddin, where recipes, dating from the times of the Mughals have
been the closely guarded secret of generations of chefs.
Delhi Ka Aangan in Hyatt Regency, Darbar in Ashoka Hotel and Corbetts
Claridges are among the many options available in the expensive range,
while Gulati Restaurant in Pandara market, Angeethi in Asiad Village and
Degchi in Regal building are among those catering to more modest budgets.
