Punjabi food

North Indian fare

Punjabi food is the cuisine of Punjab, a region spanning northwestern India and eastern Pakistan.

It features hearty, richly spiced dishes often cooked in tandoor ovens or with generous amounts of ghee and cream: butter chicken, dal makhani, naan, saag paneer.

Punjabi cooking dominates what most Westerners think of as Indian restaurant food.
