Dishes of India

Dishes of India prepares traditional Indian food from all corners of India. Specialties of Dishes of India include: Mughlai, Tandoori, Charcoal Barbeque Grill and Indian Curries.
There are northern dishes baked in a special oven (tandoor), or incorporating the wonderful, fresh Indian cheese (paneer), or showing the Persian origins of Mughlai cooking in the elaborate rice dishes called "biryani."
Good Indian cooking is subtle and complex. Spicy-hot dishes are only a small part of the repertoire, and there is never a hint of that brassy-flavored yellow stuff sold in cans as "curry powder." The word "kari" actually means "sauce," and each dish must have its own distinctive, unique blend of herbs and spices. Lamb Karahi A traditional north-western dish, barbecued pieces of lamb cooked on very high heat in a wok with fresh tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, green peppers, herbs, and spices is one of Dishes of India�s specialties.
