One of the integral parts of the Andaman Islands is the number of mouth-water dishes that are on offer. It showcases a perfect blend of Indian and Tibetan tastes.

    Like any other beach destination in the world, Andaman is also popular for its scrumptious seafood. If you are a food lover, this place is going to be heaven for you. Here is a list of amazing cuisines that you can have during your trip to this place.

    Here are 10 of famous food to eat in Andaman

    1. Fish Curry

    3. Macher Jhol

    Remember we said, Andaman starts from Kolkata; and this dish is right from West Bengal. This is a gravy fish that is highly delectable. It is a flavorsome dish that uses freshly cut coriander, turmeric powder, garam masala, and a few green chilis. There are a lot of other spices that are mixed into it and that’s what gives it a flavorsome ending. This dish has a soupy gravy but it tastes just amazing.

    Another less gravy dish that is savored with rice is the Chicken Tikka Masala. This is another hot and spicy recipe that is offered in most restaurants of Andaman. The same flavor you get here resembles what is served in many other places.

    5. Coconut Prawn Curry

    Coconut Prawn Curry is a specialty of Andaman. The prawns are cooked in gravy that has a strong flavor of coconut. It seems as if this gravy has directly been influenced by Tamil Nadu. You will get a dual taste while savoring the dish but the balance between sweet and spicy is well-managed by the cook.

    6. Rice

    Rice is the best veg food in Andaman and nicobar islands. You might think there is a mistake because we have added this dish but you will be startled to know that most places and dishes are served with rice rather than bread in Andaman. While most of the dishes cooked here have gravy, people prefer to devour them with rice. Would you try it too? Or would you go for bread? We would like to tell you that there are different kinds of rice preparations that take place in Andaman.

    While visiting different places you can look for shops that would give a portion of rice that is differently made. Where some prepare it simply in ghee and garlic; others use some special type of spices to make it a bit different.

    7. Lobster Barbeque

    Grilled food tastes amazing and it becomes even better when you have a live grill going on in front of you. While you visit Andaman, you can enjoy the Lobster Barbeque the least. There are a lot of other eatables that you will get such as prawns, king crabs, and all; but do not miss out on the lobster.

    Amritsari Kulcha is a popular North Indian flatbread that originated in the city of Amritsar in Punjab. But it is one of the best dishes of Andaman too. People often love savoring it with curry cuisine. It is a type of stuffed kulcha that is made with all-purpose flour dough, which is rolled out and stuffed with a spiced mashed potato mixture, finely chopped onions, and other seasonings.

    The kulcha is traditionally cooked in a tandoor or clay oven, which gives it a crispy exterior and soft interior. It is usually served with a side of chole masala, which is a spicy chickpea curry.

    9. Chilli Curry

    To prepare tandoori fish, the fish (typically white fish like cod, tilapia, or catfish) is first cleaned and marinated in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and a variety of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala. The fish is then left to marinate for several hours, allowing the flavors to fully penetrate the fish.

    Once the fish has marinated, it is cooked in a tandoor or oven until it is lightly charred on the outside and cooked through on the inside. The fish is then typically served hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges.
