New Delhi bad, or unsentimental (4-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hard-boiled

'unsentimental' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new delhi bad or' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'delhi'+'bad'+'or'='delhibador'
'delhibador' anagrammed gives 'HARD-BOILED'.

(Other definitions for hard-boiled that I've seen before include "Tough (as an egg can be?)" , "Unsentimental" , "Cynical" , "denying entry to soldiers?" , "way to serve an egg?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
