Indian Cuisine: Simpler Than It Appears

Life is full of special moments.  Some of them we experience with our loved ones, others with strangers, and still others we accomplish on our own.  I think that whether you’re single or not, cooking can always be one of those moments.  Taking a blend of ingredients and crafting it into something succulent is always something to be proud of, but too often we get stuck in our comfort zones and new flavors can feel intimidating.

If that’s how you view Indian food however, you can breathe easy.  Most traditional Indian dishes are actually fairly easy, so long as you have the right ingredients.

Aloo Takki, for example is simply a dish made of potatoes, veggies and spices.

Momos is composed of flour, water and whatever filling you desire.

For vegetarians, Baingan Bharta would be a great choice.  It’s made up of roasted eggplant, veggies, chile powder and garlic, and is excellent when paired with toasted bread or jeera rice.

Finally, Samosas is a combination of flour, potatoes, carrots, cilantro, garlic and ginger, along with other fresh produce, and is best when paired with tangy mango chutney.

Are there any Indian meals you’ve been meaning to cook?
