TasteAtlas, an online food guide that ranks dishes, ingredients and more, has revealed a list of the 50 best stews in the world, with nine Indian curries making it to the list. A stew is a thick, hearty dish made with solid ingredients such as meat, fish or vegetables. It is slowly cooked in a small amount of liquid at a low temperature. It is simple, comforting and yet so flavourful.
Among the stews from other countries on the list, our eyes went straight to the Indian dishes that stood out. Murgh Makhani, or Butter Chicken, one of the most beloved dishes, secured the fourth spot. Shahi Paneer, which is considered the vegetarian equivalent of Butter Chicken, followed in sixth place.
