Indian Food!
Perhaps the most well-known international food around,
and maybe the most exotic to American tastes, is Indian cuisine With its ample
spices, different produce, and spicy food, this can be an acquired taste.
However, once it is acquired, it is an impossible addiction to shake!
A traditional Indian dish likely has no meat in it. This is because, in the
Hindu faith, it is a sin to kill any living thing. However, it is somewhat
common to see some Indian food call for chicken or goat, especially the first to
appeal to American tastes. However, for authentic Indian food, stick to the
vegetarian fare.
Rice is, of course, a staple of Indian food, as it is in most of the world. The most popular Indian rice is Sona Masoori, followed by Basmati. Each of them is a much more flavorful experience than the typical American rice. This is occasionally cooked with saffron (the kind of spices) in order to give the dish more flavor and color.
Two types of popular Indian dishes are vegetable biryani and vindaloo curry. Each of these dishes contains the spice and the flavor common in Indian dishes (especially the vindaloo curry, which is one of the spiciest dishes in all of Indian cuisine!).
For those who are not adventurous and don't like to cook, many Indian foods now come in the freezer section of your grocery store. The best of these frozen foods is made by Haldiram, and while it costs a little more it is worth the money. Two other main frozen Indian food companies are Deep and Swad (made by Raja Foods). While Haldraim's is the best, all three provide good food at a good price.
For something very American, but still somewhat Indian, try a Naan Pizzas from Tandoor Chef. One of the best frozen pizza ever had is their Cilantro & Pesto Naan Pizza. It is fully of flavor and spice, and while being familiar offers something different. If you happen to see one in your grocer's freezer, pick one up. You won't be disappointed!
