Discover the Magic of Pairing Indian Dishes with Wine at Magic Curries


The Indian restaurant experience is beyond just savouring the exotic taste of curries. It extends into creating a symphony of flavours by pairing these blissful dishes with fine wine. For those in Hobart, we introduce you to the enchanting world of Indian cuisine and wine pairings at Magic Curries.

A Blend of Rich Flavours


Indian food showcases a large variety of bold and rich flavours - from spicy and sour to sweet. Finding a wine that compliments all these diverse flavours can seem like a complex task. So let’s break it down into some of our Magic Curries classics and the wines that pair perfectly with them.

Spice it up: Indian starters and white wine


Indian starters, like Crispy Samosa and spicy Tandoori Chicken, are known world-over for their enticing flavors. The key to pairing wine with these dishes is to complement the spice, and a chilled glass of white wine does the trick perfectly. Sauvignon Blanc is a dry, easy to drink white wine with zesty acidity, making it popular for white, which counters the spicy notes of these starters beautifully.

Curries and Red Wine: A Harmony of Flavours


Red wine, especially those that feature rich fruity notes, pair well with curries. Take for example, our Chicken Tikka Masala – the succulent chunks of Chicken cooked in a mix of aromatic spices, onions, tomatoes, and a dash of cream is a favourite among our patrons. A rich, smooth Shiraz with its lush blackberry flavour enhances the taste of the creamy tomato-based curry without overwhelming it.

East Meets West: Indian Seafood Dishes and White Wine


Indian seafood dishes such as Prawn Masala and Fish Curry are a treat for the palate. These dishes, with their spicy kick, are enhanced by the crisp, fruity flavours of a Sauvignon Blanc, its high acidity and citrus notes makes it a refreshing partner to seafood.

The Sweet Retreat: Indian Desserts and Sweet Wine


What could be better than ending your meal with a classic Indian dessert? Pair it with sweet wine, and you have a match made in food heaven. The delicate sweetness of a chilled glass of late harvest Riesling enhances the creamy goodness of desserts like Gulab Jamun and Mango Kulfi.
