What are the non veg. food item eaten in northern India? very huge information

The varieties of non-vegetarian items made and eaten in
Northern India is very large. A complete listing could fill pages and still remain
incomplete. But in general we can say that people make eat flesh of many different types
including chicken, mutton, pork, beef and fish. However, mutton and chicken are much
more common as compared to others. Among these two also chicken, in general is liked
more than mutton.


The most well known dish among
non-Indians is perhaps 'tandoori chicken', which is a chicken grilled in a special type
of oven called 'tandoor'. Then there are many different types of kebabs, or grilled
food. 'Murg musallam' is delicacy chicken preparation which is cooked with gravy and is
cooked so that it becomes very soft. The word "murg' in the dish indicates that it is
made from flesh of a hen (or a cock). Chicken curry and mutton curry are perhaps the
dishes made most commonly in homes.


Another common class of
dishes, called 'pulao' are preparations of boiled rice with other ingredients added to
it. Like kebabs these are many different kind of pulaos A special class of pulao, called
'biryani' originated in south India, but is now popular all over
India.


'Samosa' is a snack food, and as explained in answer
posted above it is made from different types of vegetarian and non-vegetarian fillings.
The most common non-vegetarian filling is minced mutton, and is called 'mutton
samosa'.


In view of the answer posted above, it will not be
out of place for me to clarify that 'motichoor ladoo (or laddoo)' is a sweet made of
gram flour. It is not a non-vegeterian dish. Also, I have not come across non-vegetarian
'chaat'. However this name is used for a very wide range of savoury and spicy snacks,
and it is not all that difficult to think of some items of chaat with non-vegetarian
ingredients.
