My Take on Indian Foods....The Mystic Addiction.

Indian food is as diverse as its culture and its climate. The essence of good Indian cooking revolves around the appropriate use of aromatic Indian spices. The skill lies in the subtle blending of a variety of spices to enhance the basic flavor of a particular dish. Indian cooking is as vibrant as it is varied - from pavement snacks to palace feasts, it's one of the world's great cuisines. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be surprised how easy it is to make. 
This is just a little takeon the delightful and authentic Indian dishes which i am sure can lure anyone to its mystic addiction. 
Here's a list of my all time favorite FIVE Indian dishes.

Aloo Paratha With Sweet Curd










1. Aloo Paratha with Sweet Curd or Dahi: – Parathas are basically Indian flatbread made with whole-wheat. It assumes the name of Aloo (potato) Paratha when the flatbread is stuffed with potato and various other fillings. It is the most favorite dish of the Punjabis. The Paratha is generally cooked with pure desi ghee and hence, it contains lots of fats & cholesterol in it. But it’s very delicious to eat. The Punjabis make various kinds of parathas like Gobhi paratha, onion paratha etc. Often eaten as a breakfast, this is a cracking way to start your day.
