Have you thought about trying Indian food but worry about its spiciness? While most Indian cuisines use curry and other natural spices to give dishes a high level of heat, there are several meals you can still enjoy if you don’t like spicy foods. Here are a few of the best suggestions.

What Are the Best Non-Spicy Indian Dishes to Order?

1. Saag Paneer

If you’re trying to stay away from spices completely, try ordering saag paneer. A staple of Indian food, this dish features leafy greens like spinach, collard greens, or mustard greens that are stuffed with fried paneer cheese, then cooked and thickened in a cream or coconut milk. The mild taste is perfect for anyone who deals with frequent heartburn, yet filling enough and full of nutrition.

2. Chicken Tikka Masala

To make this meal, chicken breasts or thighs are marinated in yogurt sauce with other curry and spices, and then grilled to perfection. Generally, this dish may be too hot for some depending on the spices used, but many people enjoy it with a side of white rice or a combination of yogurt and raw vegetables to help clear the palette of any heat. 

3. Vegetable Biryani

Biryani is a classic staple when it comes to Indian food. With vegetable biryani, you get a combination of bell peppers, peas, carrots, and potatoes, combined with the bold and flavorful warm spices of turmeric and garam masala. Traditionally, this dish can range in levels of spiciness, which is why some people combine it with a yogurt raita to cool off the fire a bit.
