Indian cuisine is distinguished by its intense use of aromatic spices, such as cumin, cardamom and cloves, and its ability to balance sweet, spicy, sour and salty flavors in the same dish. Influenced by the legacy of the Mughal Empire, this cuisine has been enriched by centuries of history, local ingredients and techniques such as cooking in the tandoor, a clay oven that roasts meats and breads with an unmistakable flavor.
Dishes such as chicken tikka masala, biryani or the different types of curries and tandooris are just some of the jewels that this cuisine has to offer. At Benares, we reinterpret this tradition with a modern and refined approach, led by chef Luis Ojeda, renowned for his haute Indian cuisine in Madrid.
