Indian works really well with Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, and Sparkling rosé. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. One wine you could try is Dr. Hermann Dr. H. Riesling. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.
