No one dish can be called a national dish in India. The immense diversification means that the food and food habbits vary incredibly in India and rich tradition and culture and vedic and Persian knowledge has resulted in huge number of spices being used in India and the resulting permutations have produced huge number of dishes in India. Of course the main fooding habbits are as per the areas major food source and geographic orientation but you will be surprised to know that it is even difficult to pin down on dish in one community in India as that being their main dish. Indian dishes and curries as that have been made famous outside India like tandoori , tikka, bhuna are primarily from north western part of India and curries with name madras on it are basically denoting south Indian curries but they are very generic in naming and preparation and so would led one to believe that one of those maybe a staple dish for the country. Far from it! If you visit places like Hyderabad and Kolkata you will be amazed at the diverse quisines and preparations. Being an Indian I have not tasted all the major recipes from all the parts of India yet so you can pretty well imagine how hard it is to answer your question :)
