Biryani

There’s nothing that comforts you like a hot, fragrant plate filled to the brim with delicious biryani. 

Biryani is largely cooked in the dum pukht style, which means cooking in a sealed degchi or handi (vessels used to make biryani).

The meat (and vegetables, if used) and rice are cooked separately before being layered and cooked together with a mixture of spices. The type of meat used could vary and some types are:

• Chicken Biryani
• Hyderabadi Dum Biryani (this tends to be one of the spicy varieties and usually uses chicken)
• Goat Biryani

Chicken Makhani or Butter chicken

This dish can be paired with homemade naan for a truly Indian experience. The chicken is first marinated in yogurt, then browned in a pan before being drenched in a tomato gravy thick with spices like turmeric and garam masala, and of course, plenty of creams.

Chicken tikka masala

This rich, incredibly moist chicken dish differs subtly from butter chicken. Pieces of tandoori chicken are cut up and stewed in a rich, spicy tomato-based sauce consisting of a spice mix called garam masala.

Aloo Gobi 

This is a dry, vegan Indian dish, made with potatoes (aloo), cauliflower (gobi), and Indian spices. It has a warm, yellow-orange colour because it uses a staple in Indian dishes which is turmeric. Aloo Gobi occasionally contains kalonji and curry leaves as well.

Lamb rogan josh

The meat of this dish is marinated in yogurt, garlic, and ginger. It is then cooked with onions, peppers, and loads of spices. Cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, fennel seeds, garam masala.

Samosa

This finger food is made with a flour shell that is filled most often with potatoes, onions, peas, or lentils. The filling is wrapped up into a cone, triangle, or dome shape and deep-fried in oil. It is served hot and is accompanied by chutney. This can be made both savory (more popular) and sweet.

Paratha

It is a flatbread that is layered and pan-fried. They are made with wheat flour, and ghee or oil is smeared between layers of dough while rolling them. You can choose what filling in Paratha is best for your taste:

• Aloo Paratha: With spicy potato filling
• Gobi Paratha: With spicy cauliflower filling
• Vegetable Paratha: With a variety of vegetables stuffed

Vada Pav

Vadas are deep-fried dumplings or flattened patties of potato, and a pav is a plain old dinner roll. Vada pav is essentially a spicier vegetarian version of sliders where the dumpling or patty is sandwiched between two halves of a dinner roll. 

Dahi Puri

This is a wheat puff small plate dish served with a yogurt sauce. It has potatoes, chickpea, mint, and tamarind. 

Halwa 

It is a pudding made with any variety of flour — like chickpea flour, wheat flour, semolina, or root vegetables — that’s cooked with sugar, ghee, and water/milk.

• Gajar Halwa: also known as Carrot pudding
• Besan Halwa: Made by cooking chickpea flour in rich sugar syrup.
