Indian food is packed with delicious flavor and exotic ingredients that will satisfy just about anyone’s taste buds. However, if you are new to this type of cuisine, trying it for the first time might be a little intimidating. Here are a few dishes to try if you’ve never eaten Indian cuisine before.

Samosas

Samosas are a tasty and veggie-packed starter. Filled with peas, potatoes, onions, spices, and optional meat, they are wrapped in thin pastry dough and fried until crispy. These are often not as heavily spiced as other dishes, which can make them feel familiar to newcomers to the cuisine. Try a few different sauces with the characteristically triangular appetizers.

Fish Curry

If you are a fan of seafood, you’ll want to try fish curry. This Indian food contains sardines and is stewed in a curry with various vegetables like onions or okra. This dish can be enjoyed with several different sides, like bread or rice.

Naan

If you like bread, you’ll enjoy biting into naan. Made from eggs, yogurt, milk, and butter, this bread is baked in a Tandoori oven, which gives it its slightly crispy bubbles and soft texture. Naan is served with many Indian dishes, and it will leave you with a happy feeling in your stomach.

Chicken Tikka Masala

If you are in the mood for something a little more spicy, order chicken tikka masala. This dish contains chicken that’s marinated with yogurt, tomato, cumin, ginger, turmeric, and other spices. It’s a popular main dish and will keep you full for hours.
