There’s something uniquely exciting about Indian food. The blend of exotic ingredients, herbs and spices make your meal more than just a takeaway. It’s an experience!

What is it about this cuisine that makes the mouth water just at the mention of it?

It could be because no matter what your preferences, there’s an Indian flavour to suit you. Sit down to an Indian meal and you’re likely to experience the whole spectrum of tastes from spicy to sour to sweet.

There’s also a delightful mixture of textures to enjoy. From crispy, triangular samosas filled with peas, potatoes and onions, to soft, steaming naan bread; and that’s just for starters!

Add a red chutney for sweet and sour flavours or a refreshing green chutney, usually made with mint or coriander. Or, if you enjoy a little something to really cool the palate, there’s nothing better than a smooth raita, a yoghurt based dip with a blend of spices that can include mint or coriander.

As for the main courses, regardless of whether you fancy a dry or a saucy dish, you’re in for a taste sensation. Old curry favourites include, the Korma on the milder end of the scale, the Tikka Masala or Rogan Josh as slightly spicier options and of course you always have the option of a Vindaloo on the ‘blow your head off’ end of the scale!

Your options are by no means limited to saucy curries though. Tandoori chicken is chicken marinated in yoghurt and spices roasted in a clay oven called a tandoor, which emerges perfectly moist and with a beautiful orange colour. Biryani is a long grain rice dish that is layered with generously marinated vegetables, lamb, chicken or seafood. Cooked with the rice, the meat or veg and spices flavour the rice to give it an irresistible aroma and taste..

If you're a vegetarian, Indian cooking is a very accessible cuisine. In fact, India is regarded as one of the most vegetarian countries in the world. Bold sauces and spices make potatoes, vegetables and pulses take on a whole new character. Chana Masala, made of of slow cooked chickpeas, paired with ginger and tomato or Saag Paneer, a delicious combination of cottage cheese, garlic, spinach, ginger and chillies would tempt even the most passionate meat lover.

Popular dishes

Chicken Korma

If you’re chicken when it comes to hot spices, sweat ye not, because mild and creamy Chicken Korma will be, quite literally, up your street (and you’ll be showing excellent taste – it’s now Britain’s most wanted dish). Rogan Josh is a hugely popular lamb curry dish (and a really cool rap name) with a sauce flavoured by garlic, ginger, onions and aromatic spices such as cloves, bay leaves, cardamom and cinnamon. A signature dish of Kashmiri cuisine it means ‘cooked in oil at intense heat’ – oh, and it’s spicy too, so be both warmed and warned. And if you’re mad for spices you’ll be mad for Beef Madras – a genuinely hot, tasty curry that hits the spot with steamed rice, Naan breads and mango chutney.

Chicken Chaat

Looking for a conversational starter – what better than a Chicken Chaat? Small pieces of chicken tikka cooked in a sauce of cucumber, onion and masala spices, then topped with coriander and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Yum. (A Potato Chaat is equally moreish.) Naan Bread is a must with any Indian meal, whether Peshwari (sweet with almond flakes, coconut and raisin filling), Keema (often a chef’s signature Naan, with a secret recipe of ground lamb with aromatics and Indian spices), Garlic Naan (which will ward off those family members you don’t want to kiss goodbye) or just plain ol’ Plain (leavened, oven-baked flat bread – think of it as the straight man to the comedy genius of your main course). Steamed Rice is pure and simple, Pilau Rice is more colourful and flavoursome, and Coconut Rice is positively exotic. And don’t forget the Poppadums – these large circular pieces of thin crisp flatbread are ever-so-irresistibly snappable. Two Spicy, two Plain, lots of Lime Pickle, please…
