23 delicious Indian dishes for 2023

Stuck in a rut with your favourite Coriander’s curry? Want to mix it up in the new year?

Here are 23 suggestions from our menu to get your taste buds dancing to a different beat in 2023. Vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian, we have lots of delicious options.

1. Butter Chicken

This is our most popular dish. Some people will tell you butter chicken is not an authentic Indian dish but that is absolutely not true. It was invented in Delhi, India, and originally called murg makhani. Thanks to its flavoursome, rich and mildly-spiced gravy, it has become a hit all around the world.

2. Vegan Butter Chicken

This delicious plant-based version of butter chicken uses chunky soy pieces for that satisfying texture and cashew gravy for creaminess.

3. Chicken Korma

“Korma” means “braised” in the Urdu language. We braise chunks of chicken in the tandoor, then simmer them in a creamy sauce with herbs and spices.

4. Mango Chicken

A sweet and mild crowd-pleaser: chicken cooked in an aromatic mango sauce and tempered with cream, herbs, and spices.

5. Chicken Tikka Masala

It’s a classic for a reason. Delicious, flavourful, not too hot ‘n’ spicy. Mouth-watering chicken pieces simmered in a delightful aromatic masala.

6. Vegan Mushroom Masala

This creamy plant-based dish is made with mushrooms and green peas in a vegetable gravy with garlic.

7. Bombay Chicken

A must-try dish from Mumbai, the cultural hub of India and home of Bollywood.

8. Onion Bhaji

This classic, crispy entrée is made by deep-frying onion fritters in fresh herb and chickpea batter.

9. Vegetable Samosas

Fried pastry. Delicious spiced vegetable filling. You can’t go wrong with a samosa – it’s the pie of India!

22. Palak Paneer

Beautifully cooked into a gravy with a mixture of spices, the green curry is offset by the soft hunks of paneer.

23. Daal Makhni

This saucy vegetarian dish is made from black lentils and kidney beans cooked over low heat with herbs, spices and cream. Perfect for soaking up with naan.
