5 Best sides to relish with your curries!

There can be no better time to relish the heart-warming curries than winters. If you are looking to feast on a good curry this winter, you’ll be no short of options. The Indian cuisine is full of delectable curries that are spiced well and super-indulgent. What makes them even more enjoyable is they come with a delicious range of sides on your plate. 

These side dishes are refreshing, fulfilling and perfect to balance out the vibrant flavors in a curry. Let’s give you some pleasurable options to accompany your curries. 

Rice 

Rice is the light side dish that would keep you full without being heavy on your stomach. You can either enjoy the plain rice or look for fancier versions of rice like ‘Jeera Rice’ or ‘Veg Pulao’ on special occasions. We think this is one of our favorite side dishes that taste really good and that anybody would like to have on the side of their curry bowl.

Bread 

Another side dish that people like to savor is the traditional flatbreads. Indian cuisine has a delightful variety of bread including naan, chapati and tandoori roti. These breads are adorned with garlic, coriander and butter and make a super enjoyable side for your spiced curries.

Raita 

Just like bread and rice, raita also comes in a huge variety. Whether you just make a spiced one, infused with salt and cumin powder or the one having vegetables in it. If you’re more into the sweeter side, just add a tablespoon of sugar or jaggery to your bowl of yogurt and you’re set. Besides, it will neutralize the spicy flavor of your curry as a perfect accompaniment to it.

Greens 

Can anything be tastier than a crunchy bowl of green salad? Probably not! The salad has the crunchiness of cucumber and refreshing greens are all you need with your delicious curries. Like raita, the salad is also a healthier side to complement the pungency of the flavors. The best thing is you can enjoy it without compromising on the taste.

Sauces 

What makes us eat and enjoy Indian food more is the colorful variety of sauces. These sauces like chutneys, dips, and condiments are quite hard to resist. The use of green chili, garlic, mint, coriander leaves and tamarind lure diners to try them. This is why they’re the great sides to your curries.
