There are many words that make up the Indian cuisine but since adding the exhaustive or endless list can be quite nerve wracking, here?s three of them:

Tikka Masala

Tikka refers to small pieces or chunks. Tikka masala can both be vegetarian and non vegetarian. Big square pieces of paneer or chicken is marinated and grilled. In its Indian form, the dish is dry but the English version of Tikka masala is cooked in tomato gravy. Dry Tikka masala is served with salads and is an excellent snack with alcoholic drinks.

Thali

Thali is a platter with several bowls. Traditionally, Indian food was served in a Thali with vegetables, pickles, lentils, salad, dessert in small bowls, accompanied with roti and rice. It is a very popular eating system in restaurants where the whole Thali comes at a fixed price. It is a total meal for small eaters but no extras are allowed, in case one is hungry for more.

Vindaloo

Vindaloo originates from Goa, a state on the western coast. The dish is not for the faint hearted as its major spice is chilli. The spice mix for vindaloo is prepared by grinding together dry red chillies, cinnamon, cumin and cloves, adding little vinegar. The dominant flavour of the dish is of cloves and cinnamon. Vindaloo is a gravy dish and is locally prepared with pork. But beef, meat, chicken can also be used to suit one?s taste. Vindaloo is normally eaten with rice.
