Bring an Indian Restaurant to your Kitchen


Hello there!!๐Ÿ‘‹

Hey friend ๐Ÿ‘‹,

Indian cuisine is one of the most layered, regional, and deeply personal food traditions in the world โ€” and this month I want to share a little piece of it with you. These are the Indian restaurant dishes that I know everyone loves - I grew up loving them and make at home regularly: the bubbling Punjabi Rajma that tastes even better the next day, the Butter Chicken that fills the whole kitchen with the smell of roasted spices, the Matar Paneer my mom made every time there was something special (or not!), and the garlic naan that makes everything taste even better. I always love sharing this part of my culture with you, and I hope you find something here to make, enjoy, and maybe pass along to someone you love. Here are some more Indian restaurant favorites:

Tandoori Chicken

If you love and yearn for that classic tandoori chicken, you have to try these easy baked tandoori chicken wings. Delicious, crispy on the outside and bursting with flavorful tandoori spice juices in every bite.

Saag/Palak Paneer

This Saag Paneer recipe combines the goodness of spinach and deep flavors of Indian spices with bites of luscious paneer (homemade paneer). Made only in one pot that is Instant Pot and in a fraction of time as compared to the traditional recipe.

Aloo Gobi

Spice up your dinner table with our oven roasted aloo gobi, which features tender potatoes and cauliflower enhanced with a symphony of Indian spices. Say goodbye to mushy aloo gobi with this easy recipe, which is naturally vegan and gluten-free.

Butter Chicken

Make this Indian classic even better than your favorite Indian restaurant - Instant Pot Butter Chicken ready in under 30 minutes!

Garlic Naan

This homemade garlic naan without yeast is soft, fluffy, and packed with garlicky butter flavor โ€” made entirely on your stove top without a tandoor or any special equipment.

Making dahi (Indian Yogurt) at home โ€” here's everything you need to know Hi friend! Today on The Kitchen Docs! You already know that the best food comes from the simplest ingredients.

Homemade Paneer Hi friend ๐Ÿ‘‹ Did you know that paneer โ€” the soft, non-melting Indian cheese at the heart of so many Indian restaurant favorites โ€” is made with just two ingredients? No aging, no special cultures, no equipment beyond a pot and a piece of cloth. If you can boil milk, you can make paneer from scratch. I have been making it at home for years, and once you try it fresh, store-bought paneer genuinely cannot compare. Homemade paneer is softer, creamier, and absorbs the flavors of a...
