Punjabi cuisine and traditional Punjabi food in India

One of the main features of Punjabi cuisine is its diverse dishes. Home cooked and restaurant Punjabi food can vary significantly, with restaurant style using large amounts of ghee ( clarified butter) with generous amounts of butter and cream with home cooking concentrating on mainly on preparations with whole wheat, rice and other ingredients flavored with masala .
In the Punjab region , there are different culinary preferences. People in the area of ​​Lahore and Amritsar prefer stuffed parathas and dairy products. In fact, the region is well known for the quality of its dairy products and food made of milk. There are certain dishes which are exclusive to Punjab , such as sarson da saag and Makki di roti . The main masala in a Punjabi dish consists of onion, garlic and ginger. Tandoori food is a Punjabi specialty especially for non dishes - vegetarian . Indeed, before the partition of 1947 , tandoori cooking in India has traditionally been associated with the former undivided Punjab .  Many of the most popular Indian cuisine as it is marketed to non-Indian customers (such as tandoori , naan , donuts and vegetable dishes with paneer ) elements is derived from the Punjab.
