There are many
dishes in ethnic Indian cuisine which are vegetarian, low fat and
of course caters the taste of people all over the world.
Indian meals are based around rice or bread served with an
assortment of savory dishes.
Try one of the
many varieties of Indian bread like "naan"
or 'roti"
or 'phulka"
. Instead of or in addition to the bread, you could try some for
the rice preparations like "Pulao"
or "Vegetable
Biriyani" which
are mostly fine varieties of rice (mostly Basmati rice) mixed with
different herbs.
To accompany the
bread/rice, start with something simple - you can ask for any of
lentil ("Daal")
preparations - one of the most popular is the
Daal Makhani
which is a dry style.
Make sure you tell them the spice level since they can get quite
spicy. Then to try out more vegetarian dishes, ask for the "baingan
bharta" which
combines roasted egg plants with a different spices, or "Palak
Paneer" (home
made cheese drenched in a spicy puree of spinach). And finally the
dessert - try the "Kheer"
which is a kind of aromatic and sweet rice pudding.
