Indian Recipes (Most Popular)

It's not an exact recipe. This is generally how it's done.

My recipe is altered a bit from the original recipe, omitting the sugar and instead replacing it with the healthy alternative of Agave Nectar, which is also suitable for diabetics and better for you than "sugar substitutes".

Nutritional information based on 4 TB agave nectar (1TB per serving).

This too is an easy way to prepare Okra.I am giving 2 recipes here for different ways of stuffing it.You can steam these in the Microwave if so desired.

This is another of my all time favourites.My mother is a Konkani and these dishes are a part of my childhood memories.This dish is made from the same wild Mangoes which are available and very popular all over India and then were plenty.Today these can hardly be seen in Mumbai except from the last week of May till mid June.There are two variations of this Recipe and I'm giving both.

A simple dal(Indian lentil stew).

In India Shrimps are called "Prawns"----and the best among these are the Grey striped Tiger Prawns.Thes are the tastiest huge Prawns that I buy----expensive but taste wonderful when first marinated in hot,pungent Spices and then blanketed in layers of Fragrant Rice and steamed----a veritable Feast for all the five senses!!!The aroma would entice even the most picky eater to take more than a single helping!!!

Delicious, Spicy, lentil receipe.

I have loved Chai since I first tasted it, but it was always a guilty pleasure- too much sugar, too much sweets... but now- its not an everyday treat still, but this recipe for chai tastes better than any packet, pouch, or ready-mixed blend, and even better than most chais at cafes, IMHO. and at just about 100 Calories, using honey and not sugar, it is a treat I don't have to feel guilty about.

Mildly spiced, creamy (without the cream) hearty main dish soup in the Indian style.

A dal variation

Vegetarian Indian dish, heavy on fiber & protein & low fat. Yum!

Add more veggies and less rice to lower the carbs and increase the fiber. Cooks in a pressure cooker in 5-6 minutes.

Indian style tuna curry

SERVE OVER BROWN RICE

This is my favourite summer fruit salad recipe; the key to making it "Indian" is a spice called "Chaat Masala" - it's a subtle salty type of spice that is used in snack-type dishes and has the property of helping with digestion. You can find it at your local South Asian grocery store.

My husband is not a fan of salmon, but this is his favorite dish. This is a spicy dish. Croquettes are traditionally fried, but I bake mine.
