How Indian Meals Work
Many Indian meals are designed for sharing and mixing flavors. A typical restaurant meal includes:
An EntréeChicken, lamb, paneer, or vegetables cooked in a flavorful sauce
Basmati Rice
Light, aromatic long-grain rice
Flatbread (Usually Naan)
Warm, soft bread used to scoop sauces
Optional Sides
Lentils, vegetables, chutneys, or yogurt are typical.
Spice Level (Don't Worry)
Indian food is flavorful, with aromatic spices -- but not always spicy hot. At Masala Magic, most dishes are served with mild to medium spicing.
If you enjoy more heat, we provide spicy-hot chili chutney, upon request, so you can adjust the hotness to your liking.
