Let’s take a look at a few mild Indian dishes you might like to try.

Bread –

One of the best things about trying different cuisines is finding new flavor combinations. One of the best ways is often with bread. Whether it is used to soak up the last bit of sauce, dip, or paired with a soup or an entree, trying a new type of bread is fantastic.

Ask for these types of bread the next time you order. 

Naan – Naan is a type of leavened soft and mild flatbread that is served in most Indian restaurants. It is a fabulous addition to any meal or snack. Some menus may also offer Garlic Naan or Butter Naan.

Tandoori Roti – This dish gets its name from the traditional vessel it is cooked in, a Tandoor oven. Tandoori Roti is the perfect accompaniment to any curry dish.

Laccha Paratha – Another mild Indian food is a bread that is fried in ghee, or clarified butter, that produces flaky, crispy layers.  

Whole Wheat Partha – Last on our bread list is Whole Wheat Partha. This particular bread dough can be hand-tossed or rolled out to attain its signature crunchy texture.

Appetizers and Main Dishes –

Diners looking to avoid spicy heat levels do not have to miss out on appetizers. For some, appetizers are the best part of the meal. Consider these mild Indian dishes to start your dining experience off deliciously.

Kabobs – Tender pieces of seasoned beef, chicken, and sometimes even goat, skewered and cooked to perfection. Kabobs are a go-to mild Indian dish. 

Lentil Soup – Creamy and light Lentil Soup is a tasty mild appetizer to start your lunch or dinner. Pair it with any of the bread we mentioned above for extra flavor.

Pakora – Packed with flavor but easy on the spiciness, try this deep-fried fritter when you are hungry for Indian food.
