待吃清单

大部分是AI推荐

Kachumber Salad

黄瓜 salad, 适合搭配 masala 一起吃.

Palak Paneer

特点：

菠菜咖喱 + 印度奶酪

奶香味

通常不辣

口味比较清爽。

绝品

绝品的定义是适合中国/日本人口味的食物. 自己非常喜欢会反复吃, 并且会强烈推荐给朋友和家人.

veg uthappam

Veg uttapam is a popular South Indian thick, savory pancake made from fermented rice and lentil batter (or semolina), topped with finely chopped vegetables like onions, tomatoes, carrots, and capsicum. It is a nutritious, gluten-free breakfast or snack often served with coconut chutney and sambar.

点评: 用米做的蔬菜pancake. 为数不多不带一丝辣味的印度菜. 营养健康, 老少皆宜.

Rava Onion Dosa

Onion Rava Dosa is a quick, fermented-free South Indian breakfast made with semolina (rava), rice flour, maida, and finely chopped onions, featuring a signature thin, lacy, and crispy texture. It requires a watery, runny batter that is poured onto a hot tava, not spread, and cooked without flipping.

点评: 用米做的煎饼果子, 内含洋葱, 略带咸味, 不辣. 脆脆的很好吃.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Chicken tikka masala is a popular curry featuring roasted, marinated chicken pieces (tikka) in a spiced, creamy, orange-colored sauce, believed to have originated in Britain with roots in Indian cuisine. The chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices, grilled or pan-seared, and then simmered in a sauce made from tomatoes, cream, and a blend of spices like garam masala, cumin, and coriander.

点评: 烤鸡块 + 番茄奶油酱, 内含洋葱和青椒. 香料味浓但辣度可调. 比下面的butter chicken相比更有印度风格, 相比之下更偏咸味. 有点类似于小时候吃的小浣熊干脆面调料味, 孜然很重. 吃的主要就是这个调料, 甚至第一次感觉有点上头.

也可以换成羊肉版本的, 记得点 lamb, 不要goat. goat 一般是带骨的, lamb一般没有.

butter chicken masala

通常简称为 butter chicken. 鸡肉是通常的做法, 但不一定要放鸡肉, 餐厅一般也提供羊肉和素食的选项.

Butter Masala Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is a popular, creamy Indian dish featuring grilled chicken simmered in a silky tomato, cashew, and butter-based gravy. Originating from Delhi, it’s known for its mild, rich flavor enhanced by kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves). The dish is typically served with naan or rice.

点评: 印度名菜. 奶油 + 番茄酱汁, 微甜. 口味丰富, 却能做到基本不辣, 雅俗共赏. 适合所有第一次吃印度菜的人. 之前欢送同事离开的时候就去的这家, 大部分白人同事都是点这个.

点餐可以说： “Butter chicken, mild please.”

Parotta

Parotta (or paratha) is a popular, flaky, layered Indian flatbread made from flour (whole wheat or refined), water, and oil/ghee, known for its soft, buttery texture and crispy layers, similar to puff pastry.

印度版螺丝饼. 可以单点, 也可以搭配curry 做combo. 鸡肉和羊肉选哪个不重要, 重要的是最好无骨, 要强调不辣. 有骨头吃的太麻烦.

炖肉配烙饼. 很符合中国人口味的饮食.

Garlic Naan

印度的 naan 都好吃

好吃

好吃的定义是会吃第二次, 而且会推荐别人吃.

Masala dosa

Masala dosa is a popular South Indian breakfast, consisting of a crispy, fermented rice-and-lentil crepe stuffed with a savory, spiced potato filling (aloo masala). Traditionally, it is served hot with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, and sambar. Key ingredients include rice, black gram (urad dal), potatoes, onion, curry leaves, mustard seeds, and turmeric

点评: 好像很多国家都有煎饼果子, 中国有, 法国有, 印度也有. 米做的脆皮煎饼, 里面夹土豆. 煎饼还挺好吃的, 但不是很喜欢这个土豆. 土豆是辣的.

Chicken Malai Kabab

Chicken Malai Kabab is a popular, silky-textured Indian and Pakistani kebab made from marinated chicken, often ground or in small pieces, blended with cream, yogurt, and spices like ginger, garlic, and cilantro, giving it a rich, creamy, and tender flavor.

有时也称作 Reshmi Kabab 或者 Creamy Chicken Kebab.

鸡胸肉串. 优点是口感嫩, 无骨, 不辣. 缺点是没什么亮点. 难怪是巴基斯坦食物, 更多伊斯兰风格.

Tandoori Chicken

Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish of chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, traditionally cooked in a tandoor (a cylindrical clay oven) at high temperatures, giving it a smoky flavor. The marinade, often including ginger, garlic, and chili powder, gives the chicken its signature red color and tender, juicy texture. While traditionally cooked in a tandoor, it can be replicated at home using an oven, grill, or air fryer.

上菜的时候是铁板, 还带着嘶嘶声. 视频

点评: 挂炉烤鸡. Tandoori 是指那个烤的技法, 不是一种味道. 印度很多肉类菜品都是腌制之后呈现红红的颜色. 还可以. 下次有机会尝试一下无骨的版本.

Chicken Tikka

Chicken tikka consists of marinated, boneless chicken pieces cooked in a tandoor oven, resulting in a flavorful, tender dish often served with chutney or used as the base for Chicken Tikka Masala, a creamy, spiced curry. The chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices like garam masala, cumin, and paprika before being grilled or baked, giving it a smoky flavor.

点评: 上面 Tandoori chicken 的无骨版本. 腌料都是一样的. 口感其实不如 Tandoori chicken, 因为部位不同. Tandoori chicken 给的是鸡翅, 而且带骨鸡肉更多汁. 不过这个更省事. 不是特别喜欢这个酱料, 不辣, 但也不怎么出菜.

Lamb Seekh kabab

Lamb seekh kabobs are a classic, savory Indian appetizer made from finely minced lamb, seasoned with ginger, garlic, green chilies, cilantro, and spices like garam masala. The mixture is molded onto skewers and grilled over hot coals for a smoky flavor, or pan-fried, offering a juicy, tender, and spiced texture.

上菜的时候是铁板, 还带着嘶嘶声. 视频

点评: 羊肉馅做的烤串. 类似美国中东餐厅里的Gyro. 其实挺好吃的, 也很juicy. 但这里面的green chill太辣了. 不是很接受这个辣度, 不过我还是吃完了. 好吃,但不能总吃.

一般

一般的定义是无硬伤, 不难吃. 但也没什么特色, 不一定会吃第二次.

Idli

Idli is a popular, nutritious South Indian breakfast staple consisting of soft, fluffy, savory cakes made by steaming a fermented batter of rice and black lentils (urad dal). Known for its mild, slightly tangy taste, it is packed with probiotics and is gluten-free, low-calorie, and highly digestible.

点评: 以为是甜味的. 其实是淡淡酸咸味的蒸米糕. 南印度早餐. 本身没什么味道, 需要搭配酱汁. 没什么特色. 像是米磨碎做的饭团.

Vada

Vada is a popular South Indian savory snack, or fritter, characterized by a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, typically made from soaked and ground legumes like black gram (urad dal) or chickpeas (chana dal). Common ingredients include green chilies, ginger, and curry leaves, often deep-fried to a golden brown. Common types include Medu Vada (donut-shaped) and Masala Vada.

点评: 南印度早餐系列. 印度版焦圈. 咸中带辣, 里面会带chili. 不难吃, 但是油炸 + 辣椒, 不是我喜欢的口味. 图片跟上面的Idli 是一张图, 因为是个combo.

Filtered coffee

Filter coffee, also known as pour-over or drip coffee, involves passing hot water through ground coffee in a filter (paper, cloth, or metal) to create a clean, aromatic brew. It is generally characterized by a medium grind size and a brewing time of 2-3 minutes, offering a less intense, lighter-bodied flavour compared to espresso.

第一次喝不会喝. 看这个视频才知道如何喝. How to drink Indian filter coffee

点评: 有点像土耳其咖啡. 比较淡, 更像是茶, 有很多奶. 我还是喜欢浓的黑咖啡.

零食

Kaju Katli

Kaju katli is a popular, diamond-shaped Indian sweet (fudge) made from finely ground cashews, sugar, and water, often flavored with cardamom and garnished with edible silver leaf (vark)

喜欢吃. 缺点是太甜. 不知道是本来就这么甜还是因为是美国版才这么甜.

不好吃

不好吃的定义是有硬伤且不会吃第二次

seafood meal

LM 3 seafood meal

点评: 餐厅的午餐 meal. 不好. 炸鱼不新鲜, 虾是冷的. 对里面大部分小吃的兴趣不是很大. 没吃完.
