Chicken Tikka Masala
Chicken tikka masala is not truly Indian, but it is rich and tempting all the same. Infused with familiar Indian spices, it has a glorious sauce and after one bite, you won’t begrudge its cooking requirements.
Luscious Mango Custard (Amrakhand)
My favorite Indian dessert is this four-ingredient mango custard; delightful and tempting whether mangoes are in season or not. Garnished with candied pistachios, this mango custard is luscious and company-worthy.
Cooling Tomato Raita
Cooling tomato raita goes with anything: curries, kebabs, samosas, steamed rice, or a simple bowl of roasted vegetables. So easy and this North and South Indian mashup will elevate any meal.
Instant Pot Butter Chicken
Instant pot butter chicken will be a welcome change from your usual weeknight chicken dinner. Plop the ingredients into your Instant Pot, turn it on and put your feet up with a cup of tea or a cocktail.
Cardamom Spice Cookies (Indian-ish)
Chewy, intoxicatingly spicy, and coated with sugary crinkles, these cookies are a must with your next cup of tea. You are going to need to hide them from your cookie monsters if you want any left for yourself.
