India's culinary excellence has taken the global stage by storm, with TasteAtlas naming Butter Garlic Naan as the seventh-best dish in the world for 2023.

Flavourful Triumphs
Butter Garlic Naan: A Golden Delight
Butter Garlic Naan, a classic Indian flatbread, secured its place at number 7. Crafted with a blend of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and yoghurt, this golden naan emerges from a hot tandoor oven, adorned with minced garlic and butter or ghee. Its global appeal attests to the universal love for this well-liked variety.
Murgh Makhani: From Delhi's Heart to Global Acclaim
Formerly the third-best chicken dish globally, Murgh Makhani, commonly known as butter chicken, now claims the 43rd position. Originating from Delhi in the 1950s at Moti Mahal, this accidental culinary discovery has become a beloved global delicacy, combining leftover marinade fluids with tomatoes and butter.
Indian Tikka: A Spiced Symphony
Ranking 47th, Indian Tikka showcases boneless meat marinated in yoghurt with traditional spices, cooked in a tandoor—a cylindrical clay oven. This culinary symphony of turmeric, cumin, coriander, and more delights the taste buds, earning its place among the world's best.
Tandoori Excellence: A Fiery Finale
Securing the 48th position, Tandoori dishes, prepared in the traditional open-top clay oven, offer a burst of flavour with their bright red or yellow hues. Infused with classic spices like ginger, garlic, coriander, cayenne pepper, and garam masala, Tandoori delights bring the essence of India to the global culinary scene.
