Discover local Indian gems
At Menulog, you can enjoy a selection of fantastic Indian food, delivered right to your door. Choose from all the favourite Indian dishes such as Samosas, Tandoori Chicken, Biryani and Korma. Indian cuisine has many regional variations; for example in coastal areas fish and prawn dishes are eaten regularly. As the majority of Indians are vegetarian, many dishes are based on paneer (cheese), which is cooked in a spicy gravy (what Westerners know as curry) or spiced, skewered and cooked in a tandoor. Dahls (lentil dishes) are a staple of most meals, along with either bread or rice (depending on the area), and two or more vegetable dishes.
Whether you're after an authentic dish from South India or North India, Indian cuisine will definitely add some spice to your next meal.

Chicken Chaat
Looking for a conversational starter – what better than a Chicken Chaat? Small pieces of chicken tikka cooked in a sauce of cucumber, onion and masala spices, then topped with coriander and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Yum. (A Potato Chaat is equally moreish.) Naan Bread is a must with any Indian meal, whether Peshwari (sweet with almond flakes, coconut and raisin filling), Keema (often a chef’s signature Naan, with a secret recipe of ground lamb with aromatics and Indian spices), Garlic Naan (which will ward off those family members you don’t want to kiss goodbye) or just plain ol’ Plain (leavened, oven-baked flat bread – think of it as the straight man to the comedy genius of your main course). Steamed Rice is pure and simple, Pilau Rice is more colourful and flavoursome, and Coconut Rice is positively exotic. And don’t forget the Poppadums – these large circular pieces of thin crisp flatbread are ever-so-irresistibly snappable. Two Spicy, two Plain, lots of Lime Pickle, please…
Chicken Tikka
Chicken Tikka is chicken breast marinated in yogurt, garlic and ginger, then cooked ‘dry’ in a Tandoori Oven. It’s evil twin is Chicken Tikka Masala (once Britain’s most popular dish) in which these roasted boneless chunks are cooked into a deliciously creamy, orange-coloured and not-too-spicy-honest-guvnor curry sauce so decadently rich that you will find your Naan bread irresistibly plunging into it again and again. Butter Chicken (aka Murg Makhani) is a similar North Indian mild-to-medium main dish but with a sauce based on ‘makkhan’ or butter, instead of a mixture of spices.
