1.Butter Chicken
Tender chicken in a lightly flavored tomato sauce. Traditionally, it is prepared in a tandoor (a cylindrical clay oven). First, the gravy is always produced by boiling fresh tomato, garlic, and cardamom into a bright red pulp. After cooling, the pulp is pureed. Then, butter, spices, and khoa (dried whole milk) are added. The dish first appeared in Delhi in the 1950s.
2.Masala Dosa
Masala dosa is a popular southern Indian meal that is produced from a batter of soaked rice and black lentils that is pounded into a paste and combined to create a thick batter that is normally left to ferment overnight. A handful of fenugreek seeds are added to the batter, giving the dosa a characteristic golden-brown color and a wonderful, crispy texture.
It is then baked into a thin pancake on a heated oiled griddle, often packed with potatoes, onions, and mustard seeds, and decorated with shredded coconut and chopped coriander. It is typically consumed as a quick snack, although it can also be served as a morning dish.
3.Chana Masala
This North Indian specialty is a spicy chickpea curry, which is possibly the most popular vegetarian food in India and is widely found on railway platforms and in school canteens. The chickpeas are cooked in a mixture of spices and herbs, then eaten with rice or Indian flatbreads like roti or naan and topped with yoghurt.
4.Tandoori Chicken
One of the most well-known Indian meals is Tandoori chicken. It's produced by marinating chicken flesh in yoghurt and seasoning it with tandoori masala, nutmeg, and cumin before skewering it. It is traditionally cooked at extremely high temperatures in cylindrical clay ovens known as tandoors, producing delicious meat with a smoky flavour.
5.Biriyani
Biriyani originated during the Mughal Empire. Basmati rice, spices, a basis of meat, eggs, or vegetables, and a variety of optional extras like as dried fruits, almonds, and yoghurt are the key ingredients. Mumtaz Mahal, Emperor Shah Jahan's queen for whom the Taj Mahal was erected as a tomb, is said to have inspired the meal in the 1600s.
6.Lassi
Lassi is a frothy yogurt-based drink that is traditionally served in a handleless clay cup called a kulhar and is combined with water and other fruits or seasonings. It originated in Punjab and comes in a variety of flavours, the most of which are either sweet or salted. Mango lassi sounds delicious. That alone makes us want to visit India!
