It might appear to be overwhelming to cook your preferred Indian foods at home, with the food’s irregular and complex flavors. However, in the event that you stock your kitchen with a portion of the fundamental fixings found in Indian cooking, you can without much of a stretch set up these dishes and appreciate that enthusiastic, fiery taste whenever you need. From roasted chicken to palak paneer, the plans are moderately straightforward. You can even figure out how to make your own naan, the delicious flatbread perfect for gathering up rice and sauce.
If you ask a Delhiite what are two things that really stand out for them about the city, it would be the rich history and the mouth-watering food. Now, I have to admit this blog sure got me in a tizzy. It’s tough being born in a city that offers such a rich diversity of cuisines, add to that the fact I’m Punjabi, and boy do we love to eat! Delhi is a melting pot of various cultures and races who enrich the variety of the gastronomic range in the city. From Chandni Chowk to Majnu ka Tilla, Delhi is replete with many culinary delights.
My List of Most Famous Indian Foods :
1. Chaat or Bhel Puri
Chaat has to be the most popular North-Indian snack. Vendors literally crowd the streets selling all kinds of delicious variations of chaat in this part of the country. Chaat parties are also popular and a nice alternative to a sit-down dinner.
If there is one thing that keeps the Delhi food scene ticking it’s the Street Food. With a variety that is unmatched, eating on the streets of Delhi is a crash course in the history and culture of the place. Chandni Chowk is undoubtedly the Street Food Capital of Delhi, and while no guide book can actually pinpoint the best places for Chaat, there are some landmark food haunts that really stand out.
2. Butter Chicken
Butter chicken is one of the top orders at any Indian restaurant in the West and for good reason—it is delicious. This sultry poultry dish tastes great with kaali daal (black lentils), naan, and a green salad.

Here’s an interesting story about the origin of one of the most gratifying dishes on this planet.
In the 1950s in Moti Mahal Restaurant, Daryaganj, a neighborhood skirting the Walled City. Known for its Tandoori Chicken, the cooks there accidentally tossed the sauce consisting of butter, tomato and chicken juices with tandoori chicken pieces; the rest is history. Today, this dish can be found in almost every non-vegetarian restaurant and highway dhabas and is best enjoyed with rice or naan.
3. Gajar ka Halwa
Gajar ka halwa, otherwise called gajorer halua, Gajrela, Gajar Pak, and Carrot halwa is a carrot-based sweet pastry pudding from the Indian subcontinent. It is made by setting ground carrots in a pot containing a particular measure of water, milk and sugar and afterward cooking while at the same time blending routinely.

Naan, a puffy flatbread, is a staple in the Indian kitchen and can go with everything you make, including many popular dishes like tandoori chicken or all kinds of kebabs.
Though naan is traditionally cooked in a tandoor or earthen oven, they work just as well in your own oven. The ingredient list includes yeast, flour, sugar, and water, as well as yogurt and ghee.
4. Kebabs
Gallouti Kebabs
Whoever thought grilled chunks of meat or fish marinated in aromatic Indian spices couldn’t give you joy should think again. While we Delhiites have a lot to be thankful for to the Mughals, Kebabs are one of them. Whether it is Kebabs being delivered to your car, a quintessentially Delhi experience, to food stalls and fine dining restaurants across the city, try this popular dish and you will be hooked forever.

5. India’s Favorite Dish Chicken Biryani
A most loved of the Mughal Emperors, the Biryani has stood the trial of time and is today delighted in all over India. This poultry or meat-based dish is set up in an earthen pot and the top is fixed with batter so the flavors, flavors, and fragrances are absorbed. The Biryani encounters in India differ from the business chains and street side dhabas, to the Sufi holy places and five-star lodgings.

6. Tandoori Chicken or Wings one of the topmost Indian Foods
It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t fall in love with tandoori chicken, that famous Indian barbecue chicken recipe. Although traditionally cooked in a clay oven, you can prepare the yogurt-marinated chicken on a grill or in the oven. You do need to plan ahead, as the coated chicken should sit in the refrigerator for 12 to 14 hours.
The signature flavor comes from the tandoor masala, a spice mixture including coriander seeds, ginger, and turmeric to name just a few. You can make your own or use store-bought. Serve tandoori chicken over basmati rice with lemon wedges on the side.
7. Momos
