Indian foodies – rejoice! One of our top indian dishes has received global honour by featuring in a top 10 list released by WorldAtlas – and it’s not what you think! Move over butter chicken and naan; we have a new winner in town, and it is the beautifully complex yet simply amazing flavours of prawn malaikari!
Coastal cuisines all across the world include seafood prominently. While fish meals often garner attention, prawn and prawn recipes are equally popular due to their deliciousness and adaptability. The 80 top-rated prawn and prawn meals from throughout the globe have been revealed by TasteAtlas, the famous culinary and travel reference. The Symian island delicacy Simiako Garidaki comes in first. Fried in garlic and olive oil, these little crimson prawns are noted for their delicate sweetness and are usually seasoned with only salt and pepper.
At number six on the list is the top Indian food Chingri Malai Curry from Bengali cuisine, while Mexico has a strong showing with four dishes on the list. Sautéed in ghee or mustard oil with onions, green chillies, garlic-ginger paste, and turmeric, this dish showcases prawns cooked in a thick coconut milk stew that is seasoned with garam masala. It is often served with steaming rice and is famous for its delicious and creamy sauce. What's even more surprising is that this dish originated in Malaysia! Malay does not literally mean the coconut malai, but the fact that this dish has Malaysian origins, as it draws its mild coconut but robust spicy notes from the world famous laksa!
Famous Indian food on the global map
Some of the Indian foods that TasteAtlas considers "must-tries" are Amritsari Kulcha, Butter Garlic Naan, Hyderabadi Biryani, and Murgh Makhani. Although every one of these treats is on the "must-try" list, the two Indian breads that have really captured people's hearts are the Amritsari Kulcha (rated 4.7 out of 5) and the Butter Garlic Naan (rated 4.6 out of 5). Based on reviews posted on TasteAtlas, Murgh Makhani and Hyderabadi Biryani both got 4.5 stars. In addition to the aforementioned cuisines, one spice, Garam Masala, is largely responsible for India's prominence. Cinnamon, cardamom, and the other three spices that make up the famous Indian spice blend are staples in most Indian cuisines. 'Garam Masala' was rated 4.6 out of 5 by TasteAtlas, who said you should try it.

Best Indian dishes that has put India on the global foodie map!
Pakora
The Indian savoury snack pakora is produced by dipping pieces of meat or vegetables (potato, cauliflower, eggplant, etc.) in chickpea flour, seasoning with spices (turmeric, salt, chilli, etc.), and then deep-frying in ghee. You can get this classic Indian snack on most street corners, and it's especially popular in the spring, when people in India like to consume fried delicacies to welcome the monsoon season. Truly a famous Indian food this season!
Chaat
Chaat refers to a broad category of short meals, snacks, and street foods from India that often have a combination of salty, spicy, sweet, and sour flavours. Typically, they are on the smaller side and eaten as a snack or as part of a larger meal. Chaatwallas are street sellers all across India that sell chaat and other similar delicacies, such as packed bread and deep-fried pastries with dipping sauces. Now this is one of the best Indian dishes!
Vada Pav
If you're ever hungry in Mumbai, you may satisfy your hunger with these burger-style beauties from one of the many Vada Pav sellers. The name of this popular Mumbai sandwich-style snack comes from its two main ingredients: vada, which are spicy mashed potatoes, and pav, which are white bread rolls. The potatoes are deep-fried in chickpea batter. Legend has it that in the 1960s and 1970s, while working as a street seller outside the Dadar train station, Ashok Vaidya devised a solution to feed the hungry workers. His creation became famous as a street meal.
Biryani
Rice, chicken/mutton, delicate spices, luscious saffron milk and fragrant spices all sealed under a pot and served for undoubtedly the best meal of your life! Now every part of India alleges their biryani is the best- and truly India's diversity shows in their biryani flavours. From prawn, to vegetables, to spice levels- your favourite biryani can be anything you want, but we can guarantee that it wil be the best bite of your life!
Naan
Flatbread with a chewy texture that many people love is called naan. Baking it in a tandoor oven brings together white flour, yeast, eggs, milk, sugar, and salt. The dough's natural drooping motion while cooking on the tandoor walls gives it its signature tear-drop form. This paired with butter chicken- India’s best export in our eyes!
Butter Chicken
And what pairs amazingly with naan? We obviously had to include butter chicken in this list right? In a delicate tomato sauce with a hint of spice, lies a dish of juicy chicken. The tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven, is the traditional cooking vessel. Always start by making the gravy by pulping fresh tomatoes, garlic, and cardamom into a vibrant crimson sauce. Once cooled, the pulp is pureed. Then, khoa (dried whole milk), butter, and a variety of spices are added. The 1950s were the birth year of the dish in Delhi. Truly one of the top Indian dishes!
Aloo Gobi
A popular dish, Aloo Gobi means "potatoes and cauliflower" in Hindi, so it's sure to please any fan of those two vegetables. Potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi) cooked with Indian spices make up the dry dish known as Aloo Gobi, which is suitable for vegetarians. Because it includes turmeric, it has a colour that is warm and yellow-orange. Cumin, onion, tomato, coriander stems, kalonji, curry leaves, ginger, garlic, and peas are among the other typical components. Truly one of the top Indian dishes for vegetarians!
