Which Indian Dish Are You?

A modern staple of Indian street food, vada pav is a fried potato fritter sandwiched between two buns and topped with chutney.

This is one of the most recognizable Indian foods to be prepared around the world. Similar to butter chicken (sometimes used interchangeably), chicken tikka masala is a tomato-based curry with grilled chicken marinated in spices.

Biryani is an aromatic rice dish that’s prepared in a variety of ways depending on the region and culture. It originated from Muslim communities of North India, typically served with mutton, before spreading across the entire country.

These dumplings are a popular appetizer dish around the world, originally brought to India by Muslim merchants. Today the South Asian variety is the most famous; deep fried pastries filled with minced meat (often lamb) and/or potatoes, peas, onions and spices.

Separate from Indian cuisine (and nothing to do with Chinese cuisine) is Indian-Chinese food, the strange and inauthentic blend of South and East Asian dishes, popularly consumed in the form of chili chicken served with hakka noodles.
