2. Butter Chicken
Visit North India and this is the first thing you would want to try! The dish was originated in the 1950s, in the kitchens of Moti Mahal in Daryaganj, Delhi. As the dish says, it is made of chicken that is especially grilled. The gravy takes time for preparation as it includes a number of ingredients such as fresh tomato, garlic, and cardamom that are heated into a bright red pulp, which is then pureed after cooling, then the chef adds butter, Khoa and various spices, often including asafoetida, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, pepper, fenugreek and fresh cream. If your mouth is getting all watery, why don’t you rush and try it out?
3. Malai Kofta
If you are a vegetarian and are wishing for something that slides in your mouth and melts then you have to try this particular dish! This dish is a must-have for all those who wish to have something as tasty as this one. Restaurants usually cook malai kofta’s gravy in a creamy way that is made of tomatoes and cashew nuts. Malai actually means, “cream” and both the kofta and the sauce literally melts in your mouth. A heavenly dish that soaks up rice nicely.
4. Samosas
If you are wondering why is this ‘normal’ snack on my list, then you are wrong my friend. Samosas have evolved over time, back then these were made from spiced potatoes, onions, peas, lentils and sometimes ground lamb, ground beef or ground chicken. Now, these samosas are available with every ingredient! You name it they have it!
5. Rogan Josh
A hardcore non-veg lover? Don’t tell me you haven’t yet tried Rogan Josh! This is a cuisine coming all the way from the hills of Kashmir. It is said that this dish was brought to our country by the Mughals, the dynasty that ruled over our land for years. The ingredients consist of braised lamb chunks cooked with a gravy based on browned onions or shallots, yogurt, garlic, ginger and aromatic spices (cloves, bay leaves, cardamom and cinnamon).
If ever noticed the dish is reddish in colour, the red colour is not artificial. In fact, the red colour comes from dried Kashmiri chillies that have been de-seeded to reduce their heat. The fragrance of the dish could tell a foodie how delicious it is!
