Recipes Index Warm Moong Bean Salad
Yummy, very healthy and made in a jiffy! This is my Aunt's recipe for Moong Bean Salad... Navratan Korma - Nine-gem Curry
This
delicious Mughlai dish gets its name Navratan (meaning nine gems) from
the nine different veggies, fruit and nuts used in it! Serve it with
hot Naans and you're sure to impress! Gherkin Stir Fry - Tendli Bhaaji
My
favorite way to eat Tendli Bhaaji is with hot Chapatis. This simple,
Konkani recipe for cooking gherkin turns out a really tasty dish! More from your Guide below

Kaali Daal (black lentils)
Another
popular North Indian dish, Kaali Daal is also known as Ma Ki Daal
(mom's lentils) since it is wholesome and delicious! Serve Kaali Daal
with a vegetable side dish and Naans (tandoor baked flatbread) or
Butter Chicken and Naans. Aaloo Mutter - Potatoes and Peas
If
you're in a rush but want something tasty and wholesome to eat, this is
the dish for you. You can cook it quickly in a pan and even quicker in
a pressure cooker. Vegetable Kolhapuri
From
the state of Maharashtra in western India, this popular dish is
traditionally spicy but you can adjust the heat to your tastebuds.
Serve it with plain boiled rice or hot chapatis (Indan flatbread). Zucchini Ki Bhaji - Stir-fried Zucchini
This
delicious recipe is courtesy my dear friend Lekha Menon. It's easy to
cook and so tasty, I for one could eat it all by itself. You of course,
can choose to combine it with hot Chapatis or rice and your favorite
Daal! Paneer Bhurjee
A
tasty version of Anda Bhurjee (stir-fried eggs), Paneer Bhurjee is also
a great breakfast dish. It also makes a quick and easy dinner dish when
teamed with hot Chapatis or Parathas. Tandoori Paneer Tikka
Soft,
juicy chunks of paneer marinated in Tandoori masala and then grilled
with veggies! This is a great dish to serve at your next barbeque. Bharvaan Simla Mirchi
This
is another one of those foods that look like they take a lot of time
and effort to make but in truth, are easy to prepare. Bharvaan Simla
Mirchi can even be stuffed with Masala Kheema (see recipe below). Butter Mutter Paneer
This dish is the vegetarian version of the popular Butter Chicken! Mutter Mushroom Ki Subzi

Baby
eggplants stuffed with a delicious, tangy spice mix! Serve this really
easy-to-cook dish with plain white rice and Lehsuni Daal
(garlic-flavored yellow lentils). Baingan-Aaloo Ki Subji
I
have never met an eggplant I didn't love! Eggplant is one of my
favorite vegetables. The nice thing is you can make it so many ways.
This recipe is really easy and turns out a delicious dish that tastes
great when served with hot Chapatis. Tadka Daal
This easy to cook dish is so tasty it is among the most popular Daal dishes in India. Cook it and you'll see why... Sookha Kala Chana
Sookha
Kala Chana is easy to make and tastes really nice as a snack or side
dish in a main meal. The Chana is also an excellent source of protein. Palak Ki Subzi
Quick
to make and good to eat is the perfect caption for Palak Ki Subzi! This
is a tasty vegetable dish and it is full of good nutrients too. Aaloo Shepoo Chi Bhaaji/ Aaloo Sowa Ki Subji
I
love this tasty vegetable dish from Maharashtra in western India, for
its sheer simplicity. It takes just 10-15 minutes to make from start to
finish but the results are very satisfying indeed. Serve Aaloo Shepu
Chi Bhaaji with hot Chapatis and a bowl of your favorite Daal (lentils). Rajma (red kidney bean curry)
This
dish is extremely popular not just in North India but elsewhere as
well. Serve Rajma with plain boiled rice, Kachumbar salad and your
favorite pickle. Pakodi Kadhi
Serve
this nutritious dish with piping hot plain boiled rice. Versions of
this Kadhi are made in both Northern and Western India. Kadhi can also
be made without the Pakodis (fritters). South Indian Kadhi
Unlike
the Kadhi made in North India, this dish does not include Pakodis (gram
flour fritters) and turmeric. This dish must be eaten as it is made
because reheating will cause the yoghurt in it to curdle. Paneer Kabab (cottage cheese kabab)
This simple dish can be made ahead of time and grilled quickly when you're ready to eat. It also makes a great appetizer. Palak Paneer (spinach and cottage cheese)
Another
hot favorite North Indian dish! This mildly flavored dish is super
healthy too. If Paneer is not on hand or you want a dairy-free option
you can also use tofu or veggies like cauliflower or potato. Baingan Ka Bharta (seasoned roast eggplant)
This
dish has a distinctive flavour thanks to the mustard oil used in it.
Baingan Bharta is a healthy food - eggplant that is the main
ingredient, is low in fat and sodium and high in dietary fiber,
vitamins C and B6 magnesium, phosphorus and pottasium. Add to that the
tomatoes, green chillies, garlic and onion and you've packed a mighty
nutritional punch in one single dish! Malai Kofta (vege-balls in a thick sauce)
A
dish for special occassions, Malai Kofta is the vegetarian alternative
to meatballs. It goes very well with naans (tandoor-baked flatbread) or
Jeera Rice. 1 | 2 | 3
