Enjoying street food and delighting your palate in restaurants are two essential experiences when it comes to food in North India.
Naan, in all its versions, is an inevitable accompaniment: alone, with ghee (liquid butter), with onion, with cheese, with chili, etc.
Northern Indian pastry is varied but always extremely sweet and sugary, made mainly of sugar pastes, coconut, spices, and seeds.
Basmati rice is at home, both in vegetarian recipes such as simple yellow lentil dahl and in meat dishes such as spicy chicken biryani.
At every corner and at every hour of the day, we could taste the famous samosas: triangular, fried dumplings stuffed with potatoes, onions, and peas or with meat.
Also, try the different types of kebabs, full of spices and very different from those we are used to in the West.
Tourists interested in the centuries-old cultural attractions of this unique state are advised to pay attention to the famous Golden Triangle. This is one of the most famous and culturally rich routes for visitors to the country, including Delhi (the capital) – Agra (the Taj Mahal is located here) – Jaipur (the “pink” city).
Without going far, you can see the country’s most beautiful monuments, including the Taj Mahal, traditional ceremonies, splendid wild landscapes, and the majestic animals that live there.
Now all tourists with a passion for adventure in their blood or looking for peace of mind should go to the Himalayas, where they have the opportunity to participate in active leisure activities or be surrounded by many ancient Indian temples in North India.
Also, don’t forget to taste the amazing cuisine of north India; historically, the areas of North India have a mainly vegetarian cuisine, delicate, made of many sauces, often sweet and sour, refined spices, and use of vegetables, legumes, rice, fruit, dairy products (butter and yogurt).
