Naturally gluten-free options
Most rice-based dishes, dals, sabzis, most South Indian tiffin (idli, dosa made with rice-lentil batter), chaat items with rice puri, and most Indian sweets like gulab jamun made with khoya (verify wheat-free) are naturally gluten-free.
What to avoid
Naan, roti, paratha, samosa pastry, kachori pastry, halwa made with maida, and hing (asafoetida) blends that contain wheat. Ask specifically for wheat-free hing.
