Answer 6

In vegetarian dishes, you can safely order Chana(or Chole) with Bhature or Kulcha, depending on what they have in that particular restaurant. Bhature are deep fried and kulcha is baked.
Next is Kadhi and rice with ghee(oil) with chillipowder in it. You pour this on the rice and kadhi and then eat. Its yummy!
In non-veg, you should eat Rogan josh (mutton) and butter chicken with garlic Naan(a type of bread). You will also like Daal Makhani with plain rice or naan. Try and give me your feedback. Happy eating!
