Main Course Recipes

The main course is the primary dish of food served for lunch or dinner. It is also known by the name of Entree in many countries.

From an Indian context, the main course includes curries, dry vegetables, dal or lentils, rice and various types of breads. Paneer is very prominent along with lentils and vegetables such as mushroom, cauliflower, okra etc while on the non-vegetarian side chicken is the most prominent along with mutton and fish. Rice dishes include biryani, pulao served along with raita.

Some of the international main course recipes would include Thai Green Curry, Thai Red Curry, Chicken Schnitzel, Stuffed Peppers and more.
