A Beginner's Guide to Indian Food

Consider this the official dish of India. Chicken tikka masala will be on nearly every single Indian restaurant menu you see for good reason — because it's delicious. Think chunks of chicken sitting in a creamy, spiced tomato sauce, peppered with flavors like cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, and cumin. Chauhan likes hers with fenugreek, an Indian herb akin to celery with maple syrup on it. You'll see tikka masala served with either basmati rice or naan (Indian flatbread).
