My Top 5 Indian Dishes and Foods (Not in Order)


1. Garlic Naan and Butter Paneer

Garlic Naan is an Indian flatbread coated with garlic paste from North India. Butter Paneer is a mild savory curry with blocks of Indian cheese. Butter Paneer also originates from North India. The dish is typically served for lunch or dinner. The proper way to eat this dish is to dip/scoop a piece of your Naan in the Paneer and eat. This dish tops my list of Indian food because it is such a flavorful savory dish.
