Independence Day 2017: 7 International Delights with Incredible Indian twists

1.Schezwan Pakoda

Schezwan sauce is a spicy Chinese sauce made with red peppers, chillies, garlic ginger, corn flour and vinegar that goes well with both fried rice and noodles. The hot sauce when combined with our monsoon favourite pakodas and bhajiyas, also gives equally sumptuous results. Easy to make, you just need the usual pakoda batter, mix in it some Schezwan chutney and put to fry. The crispy desi pakodas with the Chinese twist is ready. These are a popular Mumbai street food snack and is also available in vegetarian variants.

3. Naan Pizza

Pizza Lovers raise your hands! Naan is a long-ish, oven-baked flatbread which is a common bread often teamed with Inidan curries like Chicken Butter Masala, Butter Chicken, Paneer korma , Dal Makhani and the likes. The crisp and mildly chewy texture is perhaps what makes it perfect to function as a pizza base, and when topped with delicious picks like mushroom, olive, caramelized onions, chicken and oodles of cheese, it is bound to leave a mark.
 

This Independence day, try the lip-smacking Indian twist to the pizza in Naan Pizza. 

4.Butter Chicken Burritos

You may take an Indian out of India, but cant take the love for butter chicken out of them. A burrito is a type of Mexican food, consisting of a large wheat flour tortilla with a filling, wrapped into a closed-ended cylinder. The filling is usually a savory portion of chilli peppers, mushroom, avocadoes, beans or chicken. A filling of creamy and spicy butter chicken is one of the newest Indian additions to the Tex Mex delight.
