The Spice of Life: How Different Regions Influence Indian Chicken Dishes
Posted on January 3, 2023

Indian cuisine is a vibrant tapestry of flavors, colors, and aromas. At Flavor of Himalaya, we take pride in offering a delectable array of Indian chicken dishes, each influenced by the diverse regions of India. From the rich and indulgent Chicken Curry to the smoky and succulent Chicken Tandoori and the creamy goodness of Butter Chicken, our menu is a celebration of India's culinary diversity.


Chicken Curry: The Heart of North India

Chicken curry, a quintessential North Indian dish, is a testament to the region's love for aromatic spices and rich gravies. The core ingredients of chicken curry include tender pieces of chicken simmered in a tomato-based sauce with a medley of spices that lend it a robust flavor. The key players in this culinary masterpiece are cumin, coriander, and garam masala, creating a symphony of tastes that dance on your palate.


Transitioning from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the bustling streets of New Delhi, you'll find variations of chicken curry that reflect the local nuances and preferences. In Northern India, the dish often leans towards the spicier side, while in some regions, cream is added for a velvety texture.


Chicken Tandoori: The Flavors of Punjab

Chicken Tandoori, a specialty from the state of Punjab, brings the fiery spirit of North India to the forefront. This dish features marinated chicken pieces roasted to perfection in a tandoor, a traditional clay oven. The marinade is a harmonious blend of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and an array of spices.


The result is a smoky and charred exterior that contrasts beautifully with the tender and juicy interior. It's an explosion of flavors that tantalizes taste buds. At Flavor of Himalaya, we strive to capture the essence of this culinary delight, offering our customers an authentic taste of Punjab.


Butter Chicken: The Elegance of Delhi

Butter chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, hails from the heart of India, Delhi. This dish embodies the region's love for creamy and indulgent preparations. Tender chicken pieces are cooked in a luscious tomato and cream sauce, with a touch of butter to add richness and depth.


The flavors of butter chicken are a symphony of sweet, savory, and tangy notes. It's a dish that has gained international acclaim and is a favorite among those seeking a comforting and luxurious dining experience. Our rendition of Butter Chicken at Flavor of Himalaya stays true to the original recipe, ensuring an unforgettable culinary journey.


Fusion and Beyond

As we move beyond the boundaries of North India, the influence of regional flavors continues to shape our menu. We embrace the rich culinary traditions of South India, where spices like curry leaves, mustard seeds, and coconut reign supreme. Our South Indian-inspired chicken dishes offer a refreshing contrast to the bold flavors of the North.


Further to the east, the state of Bengal lends its expertise in seafood to create delectable chicken biryani. This aromatic rice dish, with tender chicken and fragrant spices, is a testament to Bengal's culinary prowess.


At Flavor of Himalaya, we understand that Indian cuisine is not just about food; it's a journey that traverses diverse landscapes and traditions. Each dish on our menu tells a story, and we invite you to embark on this flavorful adventure with us.
