Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken is perhaps the most popular Indian curry around the world. This North Indian dish dates back to the pre-independence period, when Kundan Lal Gujral, a Peshawar based restaurant owner, managed to concoct a preparation that would go onto become an able representative of North Indian food in the world. The KasuriMethi, tomatoes and yogurt contribute to an unforgettable combination of flavors, which is best experienced with Naans.

Chicken Tikka Masala

If there is another North Indian curry based preparation capable of matching up to the Butter Chicken in terms of popularity, it is the Chicken Tikka Masala. Lunch services swear by it, as its thick gravy and grilled pieces of chicken are sure to make any customer want more. Like the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala is best enjoyed with Naans.

Maacher Jhol

It’s very hard to meet a Bengali person anywhere in the world who has not tasted Maacher Jhol. This iconic preparation from the East Indian state of West Bengal is a hallmark of Bengali cuisine and culture, and commonly features Rui Maach, a fish commonly consumed in Bengal, and a curry that is locally known as Jhol. While Rui Maach is the preferred fish, many lunch services serve the preparation featuring either pomfret, red snapper, or salmon.

Chicken Korma

This North Indian preparation was brought to India by the Mughals during their Indian invasions, and is considered an ideal family dish, as the gravy is never too hot and spicy. The gravy features fragrant whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, coriander and cumin, and the preparation tastes perfect with Naans and Parathas. A popular variation of this preparation is the Badami Murgh Korma, which features the use of almonds for a richer taste than the original.

Goan Fish Curry

From the beaches of Goa comes the Goan Fish Curry. If you ever have the good fortune of visiting Goa, be sure to try out this inexpensive preparation, which is widely available in the numerous beachside shacks. Fishes with firm white flesh such as tuna are perfect for this spicy and tangy preparation, which can be coupled with some rice for an unforgettable culinary experience.
