7 Korean Foods Which Will Remind You of Indian Food

Korean food has become super popular all across the globe, and surprisingly, there are some of its foods that have a mirror-like resemblance to Indian favorites. Spicy curries and dumplings, for instance, all share common flavors, textures, and culinary approaches that will be familiar to Indian food aficionados.

 

Key Highlights:

 

✅ Tteokbokki vs Indian Curries: The chewy rice cakes cooked in spicy gochujang sauce are similar to Indian curries, which are spicy and served with rice or roti.

✅ Bulgogi vs Tikka Masala: Both use marinated meat, with Bulgogi marinating in a savory-sweet sauce and Tikka Masala using strong Indian spices.

✅ Mandu vs Momos: Korean Mandu and Indian/Tibetan Momos are both of the same shape and fill, although Mandu tends to have glass noodles included.

✅ Gamja Jorim vs Aloo Ki Sabzi: Both cuisines use potatoes that have been cooked in rich sauces, although Gamja Jorim uses soy sauce and Aloo Ki Sabzi uses Indian masalas.

✅ Jjigae and Dal Makhani: Kimchi Jjigae, a slow-cooked Korean stew, is a similar imitation of Dal Makhani, which is rich, creamy, and highly spiced.

✅ Hotteok and Imarti: Hotteok, a pancake filled with something, is fried and sweet, similar to Imarti, which is syrup-soaked and deep-fried.

✅ Kimchi Fried Rice vs Schezwan Fried Rice: Both are spicy versions of fried rice, with Kimchi Fried Rice having fermented cabbage and Schezwan Fried Rice containing strong chili flavors.

 

The spice, depth, and warm flavors of Korean food make it such a lovely experience for fans of Indian food.
