In this list, you’ll find our top recommended Northern Indian food in KL and PJ. Malaysia is no stranger to the delights of Indian food. If you’re pondering on the difference between Northern and Southern Indian foods, Northern Indian food is better known for their use of wheat in their dishes, such as naan, chapati and paratha.
