What are the famous cuisines of Punjab?
Punjab is world famous for the food that is prepared in their state. It is said that food that is prepared with love and generosity always tastes best and this is purely the reason why Punjab has such a great and unique cuisine. The people in Punjab love their food and most importantly they love butter.
Butter is one of the main ingredients in most of the Punjabi dishes that compliment the dish to have that authentic Punjabi punch to it. Mostly homemade butter is used in the dishes. Let us have a look at some of the most popular dishes originated from Punjab.
Butter chicken
This is easily the most popular dish in the whole of Punjab. The chicken is gently cooked until it becomes very soft and then it is added to the gravy which is made from a variety of spices that have to simmer down into the chicken in order to get the proper taste from it. The gravy can be made either spicy or mild depending on how you would like to eat it.
Tandoori chicken
One of the most traditional dishes in the whole of India. Tandoori chicken can be made by marinating the chicken in a variety of spices and then mixing it with yogurt. The chicken is traditionally cooked at high temperatures until the chicken has been properly cooked and is soft and tender enough to eat.
Tandoor is the clay oven in which the chicken is placed in order to cook. Sometimes people also use a traditional barbeque grill instead of the tandoor to make the chicken.
Aloo paratha
One of the most routine breakfast items in Punjab is aloo paratha. It is basically a fatter and thicker version of a roti that is cut in the middle and then potato fillings are then filled inside the paratha.
