North Indian Food
Dal Makhani
A creamy and luscious lentil dish, Dal Makhani is a staple in North Indian cuisine. Black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans (rajma) are simmered with tomatoes, onions, and aromatic spices until they are soft and creamy. Finished with a generous dollop of butter and cream, this indulgent dish is best enjoyed with naan or rice, offering a comforting and satisfying dining experience.
Paneer Tikka
A popular vegetarian appetizer, Paneer Tikka consists of cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) marinated in a spiced yogurt mixture and grilled or baked to perfection. The marinated paneer is skewered with colorful bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes before being cooked, imparting a smoky and tangy flavor to the dish. Served hot with mint chutney, Paneer Tikka is a delightful blend of textures and flavors.
Chole Bhature
This quintessential Punjabi dish pairs spicy chickpea curry (chole) with fluffy, deep-fried bread (bhature). The chickpeas are cooked with onions, tomatoes, and a melange of aromatic spices, imparting a hearty and flavorful taste. Served hot and fresh, Chole Bhature is often enjoyed for breakfast or as a satisfying meal any time of the day.
Butter Chicken
Originating from the kitchens of Delhi’s Moti Mahal restaurant, Butter Chicken is a beloved North Indian dish. Succulent pieces of chicken are marinated in a blend of yogurt and spices, cooked in a rich tomato-based gravy with butter and cream. The result is a creamy, indulgent dish with a perfect balance of spices and sweetness.
Chicken Biryani
A fragrant and flavorful rice dish, Chicken Biryani is a culinary masterpiece of Mughlai origin. Basmati rice is layered with marinated chicken pieces, caramelized onions, and a blend of aromatic spices. Slow-cooked to perfection, each grain of rice is infused with the essence of the spices, creating a symphony of flavors in every bite.
