These dishes blend bold ingredients, deep roots, and rich stories.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you&#8217;re open to exploring, these are the popular US dishes Indians should try at least once.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Country_Captain\"><\/span><b>Country Captain<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dish with surprising Indian roots, this Southern classic feels like home. Think slow-cooked chicken, simmered in spices, tomatoes, and peppers, served over warm rice. It\u2019s not too far from your Sunday chicken curry, but with a Southern soul.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chicken_and_Waffles\"><\/span><b>Chicken and Waffles<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stacked high on soft, buttery waffles, crispy fried chicken gets a finishing touch of maple syrup. The combo might seem unusual at first, but sweet meets savory in a way that just works like magic. One bite is all it takes to see why it\u2019s a Southern obsession.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clam_Chowder\"><\/span><b>Clam Chowder<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thick, creamy, and loaded with potatoes and clams, this soup is New England\u2019s pride. Best eaten hot with crusty bread or oyster crackers. If you enjoy seafood, this one\u2019s a hug in a bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jambalaya\"><\/span><b>Jambalaya<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jambalaya\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jambalaya<\/a> comes from Louisiana with love, a rice dish that\u2019s bold, spicy and deeply satisfying. Loaded with sausage, shrimp, chicken and veggies, it hits close to home, like biryani\u2019s distant cousin dressed in Creole flair. This is must-try American food for Indians who crave layers of flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bagel_with_Lox_and_Cream_Cheese\"><\/span><b>Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classic New York breakfast. Start with a toasted bagel, spread on rich cream cheese, then layer silky smoked salmon.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Toss in some capers and onions, and every bite turns smooth, salty, and seriously satisfying. It\u2019s a smart pick for desis who enjoy balanced textures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Loaded_Fries\"><\/span><b>Loaded Fries<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It starts with crispy fries, but it doesn\u2019t stop there. Melted cheese, sour cream, chives, and bacon (or a veggie-friendly version) turn this into a meal. These fries are messy, indulgent, and worth every bite.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cobb_Salad\"><\/span><b>Cobb Salad<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grilled chicken, crispy bacon, boiled eggs, creamy avocado, and cheese. All piled over fresh greens to make a full meal in a bowl. It\u2019s hearty, colorful, and more filling than it looks. For Indians who enjoy balanced flavors without overloading on carbs, this is one of the smartest US foods for Indians to explore. Tasty, clean, and anything but boring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pumpkin_Pie\"><\/span><b>Pumpkin Pie<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warm spices, smooth pumpkin filling, and a flaky crust. That&#8217;s what makes this dessert a holiday favorite. Even if you\u2019ve never had pumpkin as a sweet, this one\u2019s sure to grow on you. It\u2019s cozy, nostalgic, and best enjoyed with whipped cream on top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/traveldiary\/best-places-to-eat-in-portland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Places to Eat in Portland for Foodies<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple_Fritters\"><\/span><b>Apple Fritters<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine deep-fried dough loaded with apple chunks and cinnamon, then glazed or sugared. It\u2019s like a desi jalebi met an American donut and created something glorious. Perfect with your morning chai or evening coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hot_Dog\"><\/span><b>Hot Dog<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing fancy. Just a grilled sausage tucked in a soft bun, loaded with mustard, ketchup, onions or relish, whatever you like. It\u2019s quick, satisfying and all American. Try it from a food cart for the real deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_Dig_In\"><\/span><b>Ready to Dig In?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These local American dishes for Indians offer more than just flavor.
