Indian Dishes we should try:

Chicken Curry

You will find different varieties of chicken curry depending on where you are in India. While the chicken curry of almost all places is delectable, you must not miss it in Kerala, Maharashtra, Mangalore and Goa.

Indian Bread

Indians have experimented a lot with bread. Some of the bread that you can have with Indian gravies include naan, kulcha, tandoori roti, chapati, rumali roti, etc. Each of these bread has different versions of them. You can eat them plain or with some kind of stuffing. While naan and roti are the popular North Indian versions of Indian bread, South India too contributes different types of parottas. Be sure to get a taste of each one of these amazing Indian bread.

Samosa

Majorly filled with potato, onion and green peas stuffing, the triangular-shaped samosa is a favorite Indian tea time snack. Although this is the most common version of the samosa, other versions including dry samosa, sweet samosa, Chinese samosa, coconut Samosa, etc. are also slowly gaining popularity.
