Best Answer

Indian Food is known is for its elaborate and tedious pre-paration of food and longer and longer cooking time for each dish. Which leaves less time for an Indian chef to think about the garnishes since its the taste ultimately which would lead to a guest/customer to come back to the same restaurant/food joint that's the ultimate mantra for Food business - "Repeat customer"

However some of the most common garnishes are as follows.

Finely chopped coriander leaves

Coriander sprigs

Tomato julienne

Onion rings

Tomato rose

Ginger julienne

Swirl/dollop of cream

Rogan (chilly oil)

Deep fried dry red chilly

slit green chilly

flower of green chilly

Fried curry leaves

Red chilly powder

Roasted and partly crushed cumin seeds

Saffron threads

Sauteed whole spices (coriander seed, green cardamom, cumin seed, red chilly etc)

Garnishes are used based on the usage of same or similar ingredient in the food preparation. Contrast of color on the dish also playes the major roll in selecting the garnish.

However if any ingredient compliment the dish and is not used as the ingredient in the dish it can be used also e.g. ginger julienne on Spinach preparation (palak paneer).
