One of the biggest misconceptions about Indian food is that it is always extremely spicy. In reality, authentic Indian cuisine is about balance, not just heat. While some dishes like vindaloo or chili chicken are fiery, many others are mild, creamy, or even subtly sweet, such as korma or malai kofta. The level of spice also varies by region—South Indian dishes may use more chili and tamarind, while North Indian recipes often highlight cream, yogurt, and aromatic spices. At Desi Angrez, spice levels can be customized, allowing diners to enjoy authentic flavors whether they prefer mild, medium, or hot dishes.
