India is a very diverse land: more than 15 languages and over 1,600 dialects are spoken in this country, which stretches over roughly 3,000 km from north to south. Each region has its own special characteristics in terms of tradition, culture, lifestyle and cuisine. The Mughlai cuisine, which emerged from the kitchens of the old Indian palaces and which we also offer at our "Indian Palace", is based in subtropical North India. It gives preference to saffron, chilli, milk, yogurt, paneer (a cheese similar to cottage cheese), and ghee (clarified butter). The famous tandoori tradition also comes from Northern India: marinated meat, fish or naan (Indian bread) are baked in the tandoor, a clay oven with charcoal, where they take on their typical, subtle flavour.
