Description:
Dinner in northern India often begins with mildly-spiced meats, baked to tender succulence in a tandoor- the traditional clay oven, but you can get excellent results using your grill / oven.
More Details:
The variety of Indian food is almost unparalleled in world cuisine: from the vegetarian fare of the South, rich curries and succulent tandoori meats from the North, through to the sweet delights from the East and the European-influenced seafood dishes from the Goa region, the cuisine encapsulates the country's extraordinary cultural and geographic diversity.
Spices like chilli, turmeric, cumin, fenugreek and coriander are at the heart of Indian dishes. Many of the most famous dishes, such as Tikka, Korma, Rogan Josh and Vindaloo, are made with spice blends (masala) unique to particular regions and locales; and chefs usually have their own spice blends, and unique cooking processes, which means it's highly unlikely you'll ever find identical dishes - even if they share the same name!
If you feel like a chicken tikka masala while in India, it's worth remembering that this dish, well-known and well-loved in the Western world, was actually invented by enterprising Indian chefs in the UK. For an authentic take that tastes similar, try the Murgh Makhani, the Mughal dish believed to be the forerunner to the butter chicken that is now one of Australia's favourite Indian dishes.
