India holds a very special place in everyone\u2019s heart, with its diverse cuisine, rich culture and traditions that set it apart from the rest of the world. One of the major distinctions is between the North and South, with each offering its own symphony of flavors, ingredients and textures.<\/p>\n

At Indian Harvest in Malta,<\/a> you can enjoy this diversity with dishes that reflect both North and South Indian cooking traditions, as well as fusion dishes that highlight the best of each.<\/p>\n

North Indian Cuisine often revolves around wheat based breads such as naan, roti and paratha. These dishes pair beautifully with rich and slow cooked curries.<\/p>\n

South Indian Cuisine is primarily focused on rice, with dishes built around steamed rice, dosa, idli\u00a0 and more.<\/p>\n

Rice also shows up in dishes like Biryani, which, though popular all over India, varies in spice and style between regions and you\u2019ll find delicious versions like Chicken Biryani and Vegetable Biryani on the Indian Harvest menu.<\/p>\n

The North’s love of dairy is influenced by Mughal and Persian customs. Classics like Chicken Tikka Masala are known for their richness, which is produced using heavy cream, yogurt and Ghee.<\/p>\n

The South Indian cuisine more came from its coastal roots. Instead of cream, they use coconut milk for creaminess and tamarind for a strong, sour flavor.<\/p>\n

There’s no need to pick a side! The menu at Indian Harvest Malta is a lovely blend of various regional powerhouses, with a special reference to the southern customs of Kerala and Malabar.<\/p>\n

North Indian cuisine is ideal for those who want soft breads and rich, warming textures. South Indian cuisine is ideal for those who love light, tangy and spicy meals with plenty of rice and fish.<\/p>\n

Visit Indian Harvest<\/a> for your Indian favorites!<\/p>\n
