Nick Jonas, affectionately nicknamed the “National Jiju” by his Indian fans, recently opened up about his love for Indian cuisine and how he enjoys it at home with wife Priyanka Chopra. In an interview with Speaking with the Heart, Jonas said that after a hectic schedule of rehearsals and shows, there’s nothing better than sitting on his couch with a big Indian meal from Dishoom.

When it comes to ordering, Jonas admits he tends to overdo it. His typical spread includes butter chicken, paneer, saag paneer, masala paneer, raita, naan, and chicken biryani. He emphasized that pickles, recommended by Priyanka, are a must-have accompaniment to the meal.

Jonas’ love for paneer is well-known. In a previous chat with Today Magazine, he confirmed that paneer is his favorite Indian dish, jokingly admitting that while he enjoys samosas, he’s “more of a paneer guy.”

For Jonas, Indian food is not just about taste—it’s about comfort and downtime. He explained that his work keeps him constantly surrounded by people, so the quiet and coziness of home, paired with his favorite dishes, makes for the perfect way to unwind after a busy day.
