Although Indian food is delicious, it can be difficult for those unfamiliar with the cuisine to know what to order. Here are some of the most delicious Indian dishes.
1.Dal Tadka
Dal Tadka is another popular Indian dish that has gained not only national but also international fame. Dal Tadka is made by steaming lentils or dal and seasoning it with traditional Indian spices like cumin, garlic, and ghee. Dal Tadka uses a small number of spices, just enough to give it a nice flavor but not so much that it becomes intolerable.
2.Butter Chicken
Butter Chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, was created in the Moti Mahal Restaurant in Delhi and consisted of leftover Tandori Chicken cooked in a ‘gravy' made up of tomatoes, cream, various spices, and, of course, butter. This dish grew in popularity quickly from its humble beginnings and is now one of the most popular Indian dishes in the world. Butter Chicken should have the perfect balance of velvety texture and tangy flavor.
3.Vada Pav
The next dish is Vada Pav, which originated as street food and is now sold in restaurants across India and the rest of the world. The Vada is a deep-fried potato fritter sandwiched between two pieces of pav (bread). Because of its resemblance to a sandwich or burger, the Bombay burger is a popular name for this dish, which originated in the North Indian city of Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. One or more chutneys, such as green sauces and tamarind sauces, are served with the Vada Pav. Green chili is served alongside the Pav.
4.Dhokla
Dhokla, a steamed cake made from gram flour and channa dal, is a popular Gujarati snack and one of the best things to come out of Gujarat. You can eat dhokla for breakfast or as a light snack with a cup of tea in the evening. A steamed recipe made with besant that takes only 30 minutes to prepare is sure to whet your appetite!
5.Naan
Naan is a leavened flatbread baked in the oven. Naan is typically served with all meals. This bread is the ideal balance of chewy and crispy, buttery, and garlicky flavors. It's just what every Indian dish requires to balance out the bright and intense flavors. Depending on your mood, there is a variety of naan bread you can choose from.
6. Rogan Josh
Rogan Josh is a dish from North India and first originated in Kashmir. Rogan Josh is a meat curry with a lump of red meat, such as lamb or goat, that has been colored and flavored with alkanet flowers or roots and Kashmiri chilies. The fragrance of the dish, not the heat, accounts for the majority of the spiciness in rogan josh. It's a delectable treat that's mild enough for Western palates while still spicy enough for spice-lovers. This dish is a must-try for anyone who enjoys lamb. The best way to eat rogan josh is with naan or any other Indian bread.
7.Masala Chai
Masala Chai is one of the most traditional and classic staples of Indian cuisine. The beverage has grown in popularity around the world, and it can now be found in many coffee and tea shops. Fresh tea leaves from Assam or West Bengal tea plantations are used to make Masala Chai. To add a hint of spiciness, the black tea leaves are steeped in hot water and mixed with shredded ginger and cardamom seeds. Milk is added after the brewing process, and it is served hot and fresh.
8.Samosas
Samosas are a popular Indian traditional dish. They have a deep-fried crust on the outside and are filled with heavily seasoned vegetables like potatoes or lentils on the inside. Mint sauce, tamarind sauce, and spicy green sauce are among the sauces served with samosas.
9.Matar Paneer
Matar means peas in Hindi, and Paneer means fresh Indian cheese, which is one of the main ingredients in this dish. Matar Paneer is a North Indian dish made with peas and paneer cooked in a mild tomato sauce, similar to Butter Chicken, but with the addition of Garam Masala, a spice blend. Matar paneer, like many Indian dishes, is best served with a cooling side dish such as cream or bread. It's usually served with rice, naan, paratha, poori, or roti, depending on the region.
10.Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori chicken is a popular North Indian dish made with roasted chicken and yogurt, as well as spices. The name tandoor comes from the cylindrical clay oven in which the dish is traditionally prepared. The chicken is marinated in yogurt and seasoned with the tandoori masala spice mix.
