We are here to help you with exactly that. In this article, we have listed 10 Indian entrees that are insanely tasty and will surely satisfy your taste buds.
1. Chicken Biryani
Our very first pick for this list is famous and delicious Chicken Biryani. The moment you have a taste of Biryani, you will surely fall in love with it. The long and aromatic basmati rice and juicy chunks of chicken will transfer you into a whole new world. The rice and meat are layered in equal proportions to keep the consistency of the taste. Chicken biryani is best paired with a curd, also known as Raita.
2. Malai Kofta
It’s hard to classify this as a vegetarian or non-vegetarian entree, it depends on the cook and your personal preference. The curry is infused with different spices and is topped with fresh cream. You’ll find this curry as the base for both variants. The only difference is meatballs from the non – veg variant are replaced with cottage cheese (Paneer) and potatoes.
3. Chilli Chicken
Are you a spice fanatic looking for a spicy Indian dish? Then this should be your pick. It is made using some of the finest Indian chilies and spices. The chicken is marinated with curd and a variety of spices beforehand so that the spices are infused properly. When served with rice or chapati, it tastes even better.
4. Kebab
This is the Indian version of grilled meat, except the meat is grilled on a coal grill known as sigdi, and the beef meat is used to make these delicious kebabs. Top-quality minced beef is marinated with many spices, which is then grilled over hot charcoal using a metal spike called sheek. When the kebab is fully cooked, it is removed from the sheek and served along with mint chutney and onions.
5. Palak Paneer
Any Indian food list is incomplete without Palak Paneer. It is a combination of spinach and cottage cheese. The curry is added with fresh cream to thicken its consistency. The fresh cream and all the spices take the taste of this entree to another level.
6. Dal Fry
Dal is an important part of the Indian staple and is basically a lentil curry with tomatoes and spices. Different parts of India have their own modified versions of Dal. The one type of dal that is known everywhere is Dal Fry or Dal Tadka. Tadka means additional spices are fried in oil and added on top of cooked Dal to enhance its taste. It is best served with basmati rice.
7. Rogan Josh
Rogan Josh is a lamb curry popular in the northern region of India. It has a deep red color due to the spices and chilies added to it. The meat used to prepare this entree is cooked for over 2 hours to make it tender and tasteful. Meat chunks are so tender that they will fall off the bone and melt in your mouth, leaving behind its taste.
8. Mutton Do Pyaaza
For all the mutton lovers, here’s another delicious mutton curry that you will fall in love with. Mutton Do Pyaaza is kind of an underdog when it comes to its popularity, but is insanely tasty. Its name justifies this entree, as it is prepared with a lot of onions. Onions give it a crunchy texture and a unique taste. Yogurt is added while preparation, which lessens the effect of the spices.
9. Malai Prawn
Prawn is one of the most liked seafood in India after fish and this entree is hands down the most delicious prawn curry. Prawns are first marinated with turmeric, salt, and a hint of ginger garlic paste. Spices along with ginger and garlic are fried on a high flame, so the aroma and the true taste of spices are enhanced. Yogurt is also added to the sauce of the entree to make it thick.
10. Goan Fish Curry
If you’re too busy to enjoy a fine meal, you should check out this Indian entree. Goan fish curry can be cooked in 30 minutes. The thick curry sauce, which is salty, savory, and spicy, is the main attraction of the entree.
