Far from being just the chaat we know, this is a rabri, khoya mix that is served only in the winter months of November, December, and January. The locals of Delhi long for this absolutely divine treat and say it is God's own creation to mankind. Made from raw milk mixed with cream and cooled over ice slabs overnight for roughly 8-10 hours. A part of it is cut and whipped with hand to give it a light, fluffy texture. Khoya is added to this mix along with cottage cheese and saffron, garnished by sliced almonds and pistachio. It is served in leaf bowls locally called ‘dona’ or earthen bowls called 'khulhad'. A dish coined by Khemchand Adesh Kumar from Moradabad; the flavors play a magical role and this dish is par excellence and not in the league of the regular Delhi street food.• Location Kinari Bazar of Chandni Chowk & Nai Sarak
