Indian Recipes (Most Popular)
I made this a small dish with the few leftovers I had - you'll have to double (or triple) the recipe if you're cooking for more than 2 people. The measurements may not be exact, I just eyeball and add more as I need.
Unleavened millet bread made from coarsely ground pearl millet flour. It is gluten free, easy to digest and rich in fibre
This is a modification of a recipe from the blog, Hooked on Heat (http://hookedonheat.blogspot.com/2005/09/
chickpea-curry.html). This Chickpea curry is really easy to make as long as you have all the spices on hand and, if you are missing one or two spices, small modifications won't generally ruin the dish...It is DELICIOUS! I plan to make this in my slow-cooker often in graduate school. Served with flat bread (or brown rice), it is filling, satisfying, and nutritious (lots of potassium and protein, among other things)... :-)
1 onion, thinly sliced
4-5 oz baby bella or crimini mushrooms, sliced
5 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1.25 lb), trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 head cauliflower, in small florets (including the stalks)
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1.5 cups cut sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut in bite-size pieces
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup cream
1-2 Tbsp butter or ghee
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 Tbsp tandoori seasoning
1/2 Tbsp turmeric
1-2 tsp mild dried chili pepper (such as urfa biber or Aleppo)
We like this as an evening meal but find the serving size is small, 1/2 cup. However, if you save a large part of your daily protein for the evening, you may be able to increase the serving size without unbalancing your day. Consider 1/2 cup as 2 Lean Meat Exchanges (+ 1/2 starch exchange)
Reworked a recipe from a cooking site to make this gluten free & easier!
This dish is a gorgeous yellow color with a deep satisfying curry flavor. The thick broth pairs well against the firm texture of the noodles. While it is high in saturated fat from the coconut oil and coconut milk, recent research suggests fat from coconuts is not the same as other types of unhealthy saturated fats, and may in fact be quite good for your health. At any rate, it's low in calories, and high in fiber, so a healthy treat nonetheless. And well worth it!
Plain toor dal recipe. Tastes great with basmati rice or plain paratha.
None of my recipes use onion or garlic.
A quick and easy split moong dal recipe. I call this weekday dal because it is easy and fast to prepare without needing much time or attention.
