10 Mild Indian Dishes for People Who Hate Heat
Published
Frequently Asked Questions
Is korma spicy?
No. Korma is generally the mildest dish on an Indian menu. It comes from Mughlai cooking, a tradition built around richness and aroma rather than heat.
What mild Indian dishes are vegetarian?
Dal makhani, malai kofta, saag paneer, navratan korma and aloo gobi are all vegetarian and all mild. Vegetable momo and paneer momo are mild too, with the chutney served separately.
Is chicken tikka masala mild?
Usually a step warmer than plain chicken tikka, despite the similar name. Chicken tikka on its own, grilled, no sauce, is the milder of the two.
What's the best mild Indian dish for kids?
Butter chicken with plain naan and rice. Steamed momo with the chutney served separately is often even easier, since the dumpling has no chili at all and it's finger food.
