When it comes to authentic Indian recipes, you will visualize an aromatic curry, sizzling tandoori, or fluffy naan bread. However, did you spare a thought as to which drink will best complement your favorite Indian dish? At the Best Indian and Hakka Restaurant in Brampton, 7 Spice Bistro, a meal should be more than awesome food; it should satisfy that thirst with a perfect drink that helps bring out the flavors, further elevating the experience.

Why Pairing Matters

Pairing the right drink isn’t just for Indian food in Brampton, so it does not end there; it’s a kind of art. There’s lots of edgy spice in Indian cuisine compared to other cuisines. The bold and intensive flavors are often compelled to put of varying degrees of heat. At 7 Spice Bistro, authentic Indian dishes are designed to complement refreshing beverages.

Classic Indian Drinks to Try

• Mango Lassi
  Nothing could represent more authentic Indian cuisine than a classic mango lassi, creamy-sweet with a hint of tang while being yogurt based: it brings rousing balance to sizzling curries like Chicken Vindaloo or Lamb Rogan Josh or maybe just on a fine vegetarian dish such as our Paneer Butter Masala or Chana Masala on the 7 Spice Bistro menu.
• Masala Chai
  For a cozy, flavorful drink, make sure to try our homemade masala chai. Richly blended with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and black tea, masala chai goes well with some mild dishes like Chicken Korma, Dal Makhani, and leaves a soothing finish to your meal.
• Sweet or Salted Lassi
  Although most people consider sweet lassi to be the favorite, both our sweet and salted lassis are equally delicious: sweet lassi goes to tandoori dishes like Tandoori Chicken or Seekh Kebabs, while salted lassi cuts the richness of creamy gravies.

Alcoholic Pairings with Indian Cuisine

Then at 7 Spice Bistro, excellent imported alcoholic beverages have also been set up for those wanting an elevated dining experience in Brampton.

• Beer
  Light lagers or wheat beers are fantastic choices to pair with Indian food. Their subtle bitterness helps to cleanse the palate between bites of spicy dishes taken. Enjoy this with our flaming Chicken Tikka Masala or the super spicy goat curry for that balance.
• Wine
  Aromatic whites, such as Riesling or Gewürztraminer, shine with Indian food when it comes to wine pairings. The fruity notes present in those wines complement dishes that feature Butter Chicken or Shrimp Curry, while for red wine lovers, a light Pinot Noir would suit much better without overshadowing the flavors of rich, tomato-based curries.
• Cocktails
  Our bar team at 7 Spice Bistro crafted signature cocktails specifically to pair with our menu. Enjoy our Samosa Chaat with a refreshing cucumber gin cooler, or a spiced rum mojito with Lamb Biryani for a bold, exciting combination.

Non-alcoholic refreshers
If not in an alcohol mood, apart from those delicious options so much available on the 7 Spice Bistro menu, here’s what you can have:

• Nimbu Pani (Indian lemonade): Crisp and tangy. Perfect for soaking up oily starters like Pakoras or Bhajis, it balances those out.
• Rose Milk: Lightly sweetened but with an air of perfume,’ it’s a succulence with glorious desserts like Gulab Jamun or Rasmalai.
• Coconut Water: Very hydrating and slightly sweet in nature, making it perfect to cleanse the palate between spicy courses.

Perfect Pairing Tips

• Balancing the Heat: Choose creamy or sweet beverages such as mango lassi or sweet lassi in order to tone down heat in spicy dishes.
• Enhancing Aperitifs: Fragrant drinks like masala chai could amplify the nuances in spices in the food.
• Refreshing Your Palate: Light, fizzy drinks or beers keep your taste buds refreshed during heavier meals.
• Sweetness Considered: Some sweet wines or somewhat sweet cocktails can complement spicy dishes without clashing.
