"The Meal: Paratha Plate, $11 Paratha Grill in Artesia serves 12 kinds of buttery Indian flatbreads stuffed with things like creamy paneer, spicy chili, and turmeric-dusted aloo. The paratha’s flaky whole wheat dough arrives golden brown and speckled with char, and for $13, you get a large side of curry for dipping. Our top pick is the smoky dal tadka, which smells like a mountain of cinnamon and cardamom, and the juicy dhaba chicken, which is loaded with ginger and garlic. Paratha Grill also has some Indo-Chinese specials on the menu that are pretty great, too. " - Nikko Duren, Brant Cox, Sylvio Martins
