Top Indian Takeaway Dishes

The vast range of Indian takeaway food available means that everyone has a favorite, but usually the same dishes crop up time and time again on polls and votes. Some like it hot and spicy and some prefer mild and creamy but whatever is your favorite, check out the selection below to see if it is included amongst them!


Dal – Chawal

This is an extremely popular dish of rice and pulses, and originates from Northern India. Sometimes vegetables are boiled and added to the rice and pulses to give extra flavor. Dal is cooked in water, then ghee, asafetida and curry leaves are added, together with turmeric. The mixture is boiled and simmered for 3-4 minutes and served hot with steaming rice. A great dish for vegetarians and very filling!


Curry

No list would be complete without the amazingly versatile curry. Although chicken is the most popular meat to use, most other meats can be used to equally good effect. Whilst curry is a general term, it has generic ingredients such as red pepper, coriander, cumin and turmeric. The origin of the word curry comes from the Tamil word “kari” and is generally understood to mean “gravy” or “sauce”. The curry is so versatile that any palate and taste can be accommodated, from the fiery hot Vindaloo to the creamy and mild Korma.
Aloo (Potato) Parartha
This is effectively Nan stuffed with mashed potato and although it cannot be found on every Indian takeaway menu, it remains extremely popular and is probably the best dish which does not contain any meat. The potato is delicately spiced and this gives it a really great flavor when stuffed inside the Nan bread. Not a good dish if you are into a low carbohydrate diet but delicious all the same!

Rasgulla (Sweet dish)

Do you consider that sweets are pretty bland in an Indian Takeaway, consisting of little more than various ice creams? If this is your opinion then try Rasgulla. This is Indian cottage cheese known as Chhena rolled into a ball together with semolina dough and then cooked in sugar syrup. Don’t bother if you are looking after your figure but if you want a delicious treat with a difference then give it a try.


Makka Ki Roti - Sarso Ka Saag

Makka Ki Roti is Indian corn bread and it is normally accompanied with the Sarso Ka Saag, which is made from sarson and spinach. These two ingredients are cooked in boiling water, drained and mashed. Green chilies’, garlic, ginger and red chilies are then added to ghee in a pan, sautéed until brown, and then added to the sarson and spinach. The resulting mix is beautiful with the Makki Ki Roti and a really different dish to complement a curry.
