Indian food is one of the most widely loved cuisines in the world due to the wide variety of dishes, rich and complex sauces and flavours, and mild or fiery spices. Whether you head to your favourite local Indian restaurant, try your hand at whipping up a curry at home, or order takeaway to enjoy a delicious wholesome meal from the comfort of your couch, Indian food is an excellent choice for lunch, dinner and maybe even breakfast the next day! So, what are some of the top dishes worth trying?
Indian is a great cuisine to be able to tackle at home; it’s varied, flavoursome, and extremely nourishing. There are hundreds of different styles of curries and side dishes, many options for those with differing dietary requirements, and more flavours than you could ever imagine! Curries can be simple or complicated, they can be made quickly for a family dinner or slow-cooked throughout the day for a feast. There are a few key steps to remember when it comes to making a curry, but the best part is that you have the freedom to play around with flavours and ingredients to cater to personal preferences. Curries can be hot, mild, made with lots of sauce or quite dry.
The first recipe of the month for 2017 is the ever popular Indian butter chicken (also known as chicken makhani), a deliciously rich and flavoursome traditional dish. Whether you like mild curries or aren’t afraid of a bit of spice, butter chicken can be adapted to the tastes of you and your family – while keeping that excellent flavour. Served with basmati rice, perhaps a little bit of yoghurt, and some hot naan or paratha to scoop it all up with.
When thinking of Indian food, a curry or tandoori usually springs to mind; something full of flavour with at least a little bit of spice. But, traditional Indian cuisine is actually made up of many sweets and desserts to follow the meal as well. Indian desserts are often very sweet, and differ slightly depending on which part of the country the recipe or dish comes from. They are offered as desserts following meals, created for big events like weddings, and even offered up in temples in certain parts of India.
Indian food is known for its strong taste and extensive use of spices. These spices add rich layers of flavours and aromas to any dish. Whether you cook Indian food or simply enjoy Indian fine dining, knowing the main spices used in these dishes can make eating more fun.
