The Famous Curry
The famous curry is known by everyone and it has to be tried at least once in their lifetime. It’s a classic, and if you haven’t eaten one yet, you’re missing out on something truly amazing.
Tandoori Chicken
Tandoori chicken is one of India’s most popular dishes. It’s a form of marinated chicken traditionally baked in a clay oven called a tandoor, giving the meat its distinct red colour and smoky flavour. The preparation involves marinating raw chicken in yoghurt, lemon juice, salt and spices like cumin seeds and chili powder for at least an hour or two before baking—the longer you leave it soaking in all of those flavorful spices, the better!
The result is tender pieces of deliciously spicy chicken with just enough heat to make them interesting without being overpowering. The best part? Tandoori chicken pairs well with so many other things: rice; naan (Indian flatbread); raita (a yogurt-based side dish); various chutneys; the list goes on!
Biryani
Biryani is a traditional Indian dish with rice, meat (usually chicken), raita (yogurt), and salad. It’s a specialty of Hyderabad and Lucknow, where the Mughal Emperor Naseeruddin Shah invented it. Biryani is served with raita and salad on the side.
Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken Tikka Masala is a popular dish in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. It consists of boneless chicken pieces in a thick gravy of tomatoes, cream, butter and spices. The sauce is often made spicy with green chilies or cayenne pepper. In Indian restaurants around the world, it is referred to as tikka masala; in India, it is known as chicken tikka.
