Rulers came and went adding to the capital's variegated culinary heritage, traders and settlers brought with them their own little kitchen secrets, the colonial era gave birth to novel dishes that Delhi was quick to lap up to.

There is no dearth of creativity in these dishes, and you do not even have to wait till lunch or dinner to truly experience the same. The breakfast game of Delhi is so strong that one is often left spoilt for choice. Here are some of Delhi's classic veg breakfast recipes that scream indulgence.
