EVERYTHING YOUR TASTE BUDS CRAVE

Indian cuisine is normally considered spicy due to the presence of various types of
spices in the food. When people with no-spice tolerance try it for the first time often get
confused about which items to try. If you’re also looking for some Indian dishes that you
can enjoy without having to experience the heat, here are some good meals to cook and
try at an Indian restaurant for a delightful feast.
Butter Chicken
Looks like a pure delight, this chicken delectable is a savory curry that’s made with top
Indian spices to bring the flavors. It’s a mildly spicy, creamy and zestful curry with a
little punch of sweetness that has made everyone go nuts about it.
Shahi Paneer
Shahi paneer is something that you must be familiar with if you’ve ever visited an Indian
restaurant. It’s made with Indian cheese called ‘Paneer’, and the mildly sweet and spicy
curry base. If you’re someone with little to no tolerance for spice, try this for Indian food
delivery or at your visit to the restaurant.
Veggies Korma
A concoction of various Indian vegetables in a creamy, rich and flavorful sauce, is what
this recipe is all about. When the goodness of wholesome veggies, the richness of nuts
and the creaminess come together with light spice, they make this korma taste like
heaven.
Lamb Saag
Lamb Saag is without a doubt, a comfort delicacy that every meat lover would love. But
it’s also a mildly spiced Indian dish that contains aromatic spices, unlike other hot
Indian dishes. The tender and juicy lamb chunks when cooked in your favorite greens
and served warm, taste appetizing.
Dal Makhani
A little heavy on the stomach but light on spices, this dish is made by slow cooking
whole black lentils with fragrant spices and topped off with cream. A perfect delight to
enjoy with a variety of tandoori naans.

Malai Kofta
Unlike many Indian street foods, Malai Kofta is usually served in restaurants. Fried
veggie balls cooked in a saucy curry made with onions and tomatoes. Lots of nuts and
cream are added to make it richer and tastier making it an ideal not-so-spicy dish for
you.
So, the next time you feel like having Indian food but hesitate because of the spice, try
these dishes from Indian traditional food and have the best Indian dining experience.

5 Not-so-spicy Indian dishes that you ought to try.

Whether you&#39;re new to Indian food or a seasoned curry connoisseur, you&#39;ll agree that
sometimes it can be difficult to come up with a dish that isn&#39;t plain boring. With so
many cooking techniques that work so well together in Indian cuisine, you might think
that your options are endless or at least limitless for a while, right? But when you get
past the variety of cooking methods available, some of them just seem to stand out as
being the most appealing. These methods are not only effective in Indian cooking, but
they also add incredible taste to your meal–both literally and figuratively.
Indians normally cook their quality food at home. However, cooking is not always an
easy task for those who are new to Indian cooking. To help those who have never cooked
Indian food before, we at Sunlight Indian Cuisine, are sharing the five most common
cooking methods which will ensure that your Indian meals will come out perfectly every
time.
Let’s learn more about these cooking methods that add excitement to your Indian
cooking experience.
Tempering - This method is done two ways - dry or oil-based! Tempering requires you
to roast your spices dry in a pan to prepare ground masala or in some oil to prepare
tadka for dal. You can
Smoking/Grilling - Most North Indian dishes like tandoori chicken, kebabs or tikka
are usually made by smoking in a charcoal oven and grilling.
Sauteing - Sauteing is the most popular cooking method used in preparing vegetable
meals or dry veggies. No matter what Indian dish you cook, they usually start with
sauteing with veggies and spices to make a base.
Slow-cooking - This is one of the oldest cooking techniques that is used to slow-cook
dishes like Biryani or some veg and non-veg stews. Most Indian restaurants use this
technique by sealing the pot while cooking these dishes.
Simmering/boiling - Some Indian veg and no-veg curries like lamb curry, chicken
curry, tikka masala and shahi paneer are made using this method.
Cooking Indian food can be a wonderful hobby or an exciting experience for some. But if
you feel that the steps of cooking are too long and complicated, you lose the zeal. To save
yourself from that situation, try these ways and go about cooking Indian dishes without

giving it much thought. Alternatively, you can order online the Indian food in Ceres

Delicious Indian/Punjabi food in Ceres. Friendly service and budget-friendly! The gulab jamun and Jalebi were delicious!

Vibin Aravindakshan

This place was awesome, with wide seating areas and excellent service. Grabbed some snacks yesterday and would have grabbed lunch if we had planned in advance. High quality and inexpensive food. The manager and attendants were very courteous. Wanted to offer a 50% tip, though they were fine with no tips. A must-visit for any Indian gastronome.
