Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Kheema Pav is classic Indian street food of spiced ground lamb served on buttered toasted rolls, and it’s lovingly nicknamed Indian Sloppy Joes. This version is made in the Instant Pot for a quick and easy meal!
Whenever I travel, I always gravitate towards street food when I want to experience local flavor.…
YES, you can easily make restaurant-quality Indian food at home…and still eat keto! If you’ve seen Palak Paneer at Indian restaurants but haven’t tried it, now is the time to whip it up along with some keto naan. Spoiler Alert: It’s much easier than you think! Indian food and I get along just fine. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while or if you follow me on Instagram, you probably know how deep my love for Indian food runs. (As evidence, Indian Butter Chicken is my absolute favorite meal, and I even opt for Indian food in Paris.)...
With this Low Carb Indian Chicken Korma with Rotisserie Chicken (or Leftover Turkey) you’ll be surprised that you can serve up such a flavorful curry on a weeknight! The first Indian dish I tried was Chicken Tikka Masala. That and Butter Chicken are everyone’s favorites, right? Of course I instantly fell in love. For at least the next 10 times that I went to Indian restaurants I would order one of those two dishes, but after a while I finally got adventurous enough to branch out. I discovered that there’s so much more to enjoy!...
This Instant Pot Cauliflower Pav Bhaji comes together in less than 30 minutes, and uses a few easy tweaks to keep it a low carb Indian food meal while still keeping the integrity of the dish. If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you already know how much I love Indian food. I make several Indian dishes at home, including Dal Makhani, Rogan Josh, Naan, and my personal favorite, Indian Butter Chicken....
Indian-Spiced Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) is an uncomplicated, unpretentious, and completely satisfying vegan dish of chickpeas cooked until meltingly tender in an aromatic tomato-based sauce redolent with garlic, ginger, and exotic spices. I still remember the first Indian meal I ever had. I was a freshman at college and I was a little skeptical, mostly because I thought I didn’t like spicy food. But honestly, back then I didn’t really understand the difference between a well-spiced dish vs a spicy-hot dish. I was about to get schooled....
When it comes to Indian spice mixes, I have to admit that curry powder typically isn’t on my list of favorites; instead, garam masala spice mix is my much-preferred go-to. (Garam masala makes a perfect dish of Lamb Tikka Masala or Dal Makhani/Butter Lentils!)...
I’m no stranger to Indian food. In fact, ever since one of my very best friends introduced me to the cuisine in college it’s been a favorite of mine. She started me off on Chicken Tikka Masala (of course thinking that it would be the most certain dish to win me over), but not long after first trying it, my affection for Indian food branched out to any Indian-spiced dish I could get my hands on. My friend’s father offered to set up a daily food delivery for my friend from a local Indian restaurant. My eyes widened in jealousy and then narrowed in disbelief […]...
Bhajis (or pakoras, depending on where in India you are or who you’re talking to) in general, and onion bhajis in particular, are one of my favorite appetizers. A friend taught me how to make them a few years ago and I’ve been making them ever since; I would have shared sooner, except that I thought I already had! I just recently realized that I didn’t have them on my site so now I’m righting this horrible wrong. ;)...
Richly spiced and creamy with tender meat, this Lamb Tikka Masala will have you making Indian food at home on the regular! The first time I had Indian food wasn’t that long ago; I was in college and one of my best friends was Indian. She had a real thing for chicken finger subs, so on the rare occasion when we ventured off campus for a meal, she insisted on going to a local sub shop every time. One night when we were going out to dinner I just couldn’t look at another sub; it was then that she suggested Indian food and I happily agreed....
This Rogan Josh recipe is a beautiful red-colored, complex-flavored curry dish with Persian origins that’s a staple in Kashmiri cuisine. I first made this dish at home after trying it at my favorite Indian restaurant back home in Buffalo. It was deep red in color with a rich flavor and complex aroma. The spiciness was prevalent, but mellowed out with nuttiness of basmati rice and cooling yogurt raita. It was perfect....
