Cooking India, Punjab and Haryana

 Gastronomy

The wide variety of dishes depend on the State, origin of the population and their respective castes. What they have in common: rice and tea. The Dhal, a type of soup with lentils is the most widely-eaten dish. Curry powder forms the base of several dishes. Punjab and Haryana, India's breadbasket, offer several types of bread like the chapatis. Among northern specialties, you can treat yourself to tandoori chicken (macerated in spiced yoghurt and cooked in a clay oven), biryanis (mixture of meat and rice that is sometimes spiced up with almonds and dry fruits), rogan josh (lamb curry), samosas (meat or spiced vegetable balls), chutneys (macerated vegetables or fruits). Our advice: Avoid empty stands and restaurants.
