Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

India

India’s food is built around vast vegetarian and meat traditions: regional curries, dals, tandoori breads, chaat and milk sweets, endlessly varied. Look for Butter Chicken (tandoori chicken in silky tomato-butter-cream gravy, Delhi classic), Biryani (fragrant layered rice with marinated meat; Hyderabadi and Lucknowi styles famed) and Masala Dosa (crisp fermented rice-lentil crepe with spiced potato, chutney and sambar). Created at Moti Mahal in Delhi around 1950, when Kundan Lal Gujral and his partners revived unsold tandoori chicken in tomato, butter and cream.
