Desserts and savoury dishes of India

It may seem daunting to cook your favourite Indian dishes at home. The cuisine has an unusual and complex blend of spices and techniques. But, if you store your kitchen with some of the necessary ingredients found in Indian cuisine, you can easily prepare these dishes and enjoy that spicy, lively taste any time. From Tandoori chicken to Palak paneer, the recipes are actually simple. You can even learn to make your own naan (flatbread). The tasty flatbread is ideal for scooping up rice and sauce. And in case you do not succeed, there are Indian Restaurants in Adelaide that is always there for you to visit.

What should you try?

If you plan to cook or order food from Indian food delivery at Blackwood, these are the things you should try –

Ras malai
A popular and favourite dessert amongst many, Ras Malai is a soft dumpling made from cottage or ricotta cheese soaked in thickened and sweetened milk delicately flavoured with cardamom (an Indian spice). If you serve it cold and garnish with slivers of dried fruit, the amalgamation of sweet and nut may just make you go crazy for more.

Murgh makhani or Butter Chicken
Murg Makhani or popularly known as butter chicken is one of the top orders at any Indian restaurant in the West and for a valid reason—it is extremely delicious. This hot poultry dish tastes great with kali daal, naan, dal makhani (black lentils), and a green salad.

Gulab Jamun
The delectable gulab jamun dessert is dumplings usually made of reduced or thickened milk, soaked in rose flavoured sugar syrup. The name derives from two words: Gulab meaning rose (rose flavoured syrup) and Jamun is a Prussian blue and purple coloured Indian berry. You can eat or serve Gulab Jamun warm or at room temperature; with ice cream or just by itself! There are Indian takeaways in Blackwood where you can try it out.

Malai kofta
This is vegetable "meatballs" in a thick sauce. It is a vegetarian alternative to meatballs. The koftas are a mixture of carrots, potatoes, peas, beans, and sweet corn, which are cooked and mashed before mixing with spices and paneer. Paneer is similar to tofu in texture and an awesome addition to any vegetarian meals. Malai kofta goes very well with jeera rice or tandoori roti or naan.
