Indian Restaurants in Singapore
Indian restaurants in Singapore include north-Indian restaurants and south-Indian restaurants. The north Indian restaurants specialize in dishes which are more aromatic than spicy, their rich flavor a result of careful blend of spices tempered by yogurt or ghee. Tandoor or a clay oven is a highlight of north Indian cuisine, used to make naan or tandoor breads, or delicious marinated chicken or fish, either using the whole (tandoori) or small pieces (tikka) of meat. The south Indian restaurants produce hot curries and often substitute yogurt with coconut milk. South Indian food is characterized by use of mustard seeds and fragrant leaves such as mint, fenugreek, and coriander. The Korma dishes are usually mild though Masala dishes are fiery and have a reddish tinge. One of the popular forms of cuisine in Singapore is Indian Muslim food. They specialize in Murtabak, leavened bread (paratha) stuffed with lamb or chicken, and Nasi Biriyani, a fragrant rice dish redolent of saffron and cooked with seasoned meat. Vegetarian food is also a popular form of cuisine enjoyed by many and skilled vegetarian cooks can work wonders with their fruits and vegetables.
