Indian food is unlike anything in the United States. It's a culinary palette of extreme spice, sweetness, and saltiness with many other flavors we find impossible to name. Curry and other spices are present in foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner-- usually with potatoes, peas, onions, chickpeas, lentils, paneer (Indian cheese), chutney, and either fried or cooked dough. "Pickles" are added to a lot of dishes as a topping. These pickles are not what we typically think of as pickles-- they are pickled vegetables with lots of various spices that are usually really spicy!
Some of our favorite dishes include: paranthas (tortilla-like rounds with an herb or vegetable filling), mansala dosa (a South Indian dish), and butter chicken tikka (a chicken dish covered in delicious curry sauce). Also, the chai tea is delish. This trip has been amazing because we've gotten to try so many new dishes.
