We all know the classics in terms of the Tikka Masalas and the Kormas, but there are a number of great dishes that don’t get the attention that they deserve. The truly authentic taste of India can be found across the dishes, so if you’re looking to try something new, then try these:

Aloo Gobi – This delicious vegetarian dish is comprised of tasty cauliflower and potatoes that have been infused with peas and onions in a thick and dry curry sauce. It is usually served on the side of a main dish, and perfectly complements a saucy meat dish.

Saag Paneer – This is another side dish created with homemade cottage cheese and spinach. Cheese and spinach is always going to be a classic combination and this dish blends this light spices to create a great tasting and unusual dish. A truly authentic taste of India. A far tastier option than ordering Pizza Southwark on a whim.

Lamb Bhuna – This is fast becoming a popular dish but is still not reaching the heights of popularity that the Korma is getting to. The Bhuna has a medium heat, dry and spicy sauce. There are plenty of onions, and this dish is great with a nan bread to mop up all the sauce. You can ask for this dish to be hotter too if you desire, as the dry sauce can handle the heat.

Chicken Pathia – The pathia is a great and unknown dish that features a hot and sweet sauce. This unique flavour compliments the peppers and meat perfectly and is the perfect accompaniment to a portion of rice that can absorb all the juices. The dish is usually finished with slices of fresh cucumber to add freshness.

Fish Balti – Although the balti is already a popular dish, the fish gives it a new dimension. Not many foodies have tried the dish with fish and they are certainly missing out. The delicate flavours of this dish lend themselves to white fish, and if it is cooked properly, then the subtle flavours will shine through the dish.

Steve writes about food whilst working for a Chinese takeaway Islington, in the heart of London.

Whether you are in Birmingham for holidays or on the trip you must not miss the Indian food offered by Indian Restaurants. The Darjeeling was the first Indian eatery in the town built by the brummies. They brought their culinary culture with them and settled down in Birmingham in 1940s. Many new chains were started to be built in the area and soon became favorite to people.

One of the best Indian eatery is ‘The Silver Coin Indian Grill’; they are always engaged in offering high-quality food to their customers. They are located right on the Lorna Rd at 3321 and have a very traditional Indian outlook with respect to exterior and interior of the entity. If you set there to have a lunch you may have to opt for a delicious buffet that many include fresh salads of different varieties, fruits, and entrees like hot Chicken tadoori or Karahi with white or brown rice depending on individual’s request. While you are at table enjoying you hot and nice meal you are constantly served with freshly baked tandoori naan to help you enjoy each bite of the curry. If you choose this eatery to have a dinner with your families and friends you can make the most of various southern and northern Indian foods because the staff has special ingredients to in the cuisine. The grilled chicken with hot sauce, hot grilled kabab, chicken tikki, shahi motton korman with sausages and nuts, and mango’s sausage would be served to you at your table. After tasting their grilled food varieties you would never want to go for any other restaurants for the dinner.
