North India is famous for its diverse and delicious cuisine. From Lucknow's biryanis to Punjab's chicken and gravies, the region offers a wide range of delicious dishes. Recently, former England cricket captain Kevin Pietersen delighted fans by sharing a picture on X, formerly Twitter, that showed him eating a popular North Indian comfort food. In the caption, he posed a question to his followers, asking them to identify the dish. “Name the food? A favourite Delhi delicacy!” he wrote, adding, "YUM YUM!" It was revealed that Mr Pietersen was enjoying Chole Bhature, a beloved dish that even Indian cricket team icon and Delhi native Virat Kohli has previously declared as his favourite comfort food.
