Why We Created This Guide to Popular Indian Food

I am a huge fan of Indian food. I am a huge fan of Indian food in general. However, when I ask people to name their favorite Indian dish is most of the time, the answer than not is "Chicken Tikka Masala." This has always annoyed me a bit. Now, don't get me wrong, Chicken Tikka Masala is AMAZING! If I could pick the one Indian dish to share with a non-convert, it would be Chicken Tikka Masala. There's so many more things to Indian Food!

The more I asked individuals the more I found out that it wasn't that they didn't like other Indian food items, but they felt intimidated by the names and didn't understand their meanings. It's funny, Indian food names can be very simple. The food items are typically named for the primary ingredients or origins. In reality that I don't comprehend the terminology, I'd get confused too.

This is my attempt to fix things. Here's a brief overview of what is typically on a typical Indian menu at a restaurant. This guide will help you pick the most delicious Indian food items to try next time you stop by your favourite Indian restaurant for a meal.

Indian Appetizers

India is a nation that loves food. There's plenty to satisfy everyone, and it's all in the food. The appetizers offered in Indian restaurants are typically well-known Indian street foods.

Bhajji: Bhajji, or Pakoras, are deep-fried pieces of hot chickpea batter. They're served with spicy condiments, such as chutney. Onion Bhajji is thinly cut onion which has been added to chickpea batter and then fried until crispy.

Samosa is another fad Indian food. Samosas contain a small amount of meat or potato filling, then wrapped in dough and deep fried until crispy and crispy.

Vada Pav: Vadas are deep fried dumplings or flattened patties made of potato, and a pav is a plain old dinner roll. Vada Pav is essentially a spicy vegetarian variation of sliders. The patt or dumpling is sandwiched between two pieces of the dinner roll. In most cases, condiments are added to the mix (often a green mint and cilantro chutney).

Indian Breads

Breads in India are mostly flatbreads. What they are called depends on how they are made or the flour they are made with.

Naan: Naan is one of the most well-known Indian flatbreads. You can make a Naan by either letting the wheat flour dough rise by adding yeast or yogurt to it. The dough is rolled out into flatbreads, and cooked in an Indian oven called a Tandoor.

Roti: While Naan is extremely popular in Indian eateries Roti is a popular ingredient within Indian homes. Roti, a basic Indian bread made of whole wheat flour, is typically mixed into an elastic dough before being made into thin circular shapes. Then, it's prepared in an Indian tava (Indian stovetop) to cook it until it's finished.

Paratha: Paratha is a flatbread which is layered before being pan-fried. These flatbreads are created from wheat flour. While rolling it, ghee (or oil) is used to spread between the layers of dough. There are a variety of methods to make parathas, particularly filled parathas. A Stuffed Paratha is made when filling is put into the dough ball and then rolled into flatbread.
