For the Spice Lover: Chettinad
This traditional Indian chicken curry dish is a fiery southern Indian meal that showcases the splendour of Indian spices. Freshly ground and fried whole spices, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, green chillies, tamarind, and dry coconut form the backbone of the curry.
For the Lentil Lover: Dhansaak
Dhansaak is a hearty dish made with lentils, veggies, and spices. A sweet-spicy flavour is imparted by a blend of Persian and Gujarati flavours. The sweetness and texture of candied pineapple enhance the curry.
For the Gold Lover: Kadhi
This golden curry has regional variations that showcase India's culinary diversity. It gets its name from the Hindi word for slow cooking, kadhna. Anyone who has made Kadhi before knows that the longer it cooks, the sweeter it becomes. Ghee, curry leaves, dried red chillies, and black mustard contribute to the meal's distinct scent.
For the Yoghurt Lover: Korma
Northern Indian Korma is a slightly spicy yoghurt-based dish. This curry's sweet, nutty flavour comes from cashews, almonds, melon, or poppy seeds. The curry goes nicely with marinated and seasoned pan-cooked veggies and meat.
For the Tomato Lover: Jalfrezi
Bengal is the originator of the tangy, spicy, tomato-based Jalfrezi stew. The dish's name is derived from the Bengali words jhl (spicy dinner) and porhez (dish) (diet-friendly). Slow-cooked tomatoes with powdered spices, vinegar, and lemon juice provide acidity to the curry. Flatbread and sautéed/seasoned vegetables/meat can be served alongside the curry.
For the Butter Lover: Makhani
Makhani is named for its creamy, buttery texture. This Punjabi meal is famous for the flavour explosion it leaves behind.
The curry is made with tomatoes, onions, cashews, ginger, garlic, and whole spices and comes with milk and butter. Pre-cooked Paneer Makhani, Butter Chicken, and Dal Makhani can be refrigerated and preserved for up to one month.
For the Aroma Lover: Moilee
This Portuguese-inspired cuisine originated in Kerala, a southern Indian state known for its seafood, spices, and aromatics. Black pepper, green chillies, and coconut milk are used in this sweet-creamy-spicy dinner. Because of its balanced flavours and fresh curry leaves, it is one of the most well-known Indian curries.
For the Greens Lover: Sarson ka Saag
It gets its name from its main components. Mustard Greens is a combination of the Sanskrit words “sarson” and “saag.” Because the spinach is cooked with spices to maximise flavour, this meal takes time. It makes a filling, warm, and appetising supper when served with cottage cheese, chicken, and flatbread.
For the Masala Lover: Tikka Masala
Nothing is better than marinated, seasoned, and roasted cottage cheese cubes (tikka) served in a thick curry. Tikka Masala is available in almost every Indian restaurant throughout the world. Sautéed onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and cashews are blended with whole spices to make the orange-coloured curry. This smoky, hot, and sour curry has plenty of flavours.
For the Spicy Lover: Vindaloo
Carne de vinha d'alhos, a Portuguese-influenced curry, is popular and spicy. The inclusion of garlic, green and red chilli peppers, and vinegar make this tomato- and onion-free curry spicy. To make a curry paste, these components are coarsely combined with whole spices and aromatics. Slow-cooked beef is served with flatbread, turmeric-saffron rice, and salad.
