20+ Easy Indian Recipes

Are you looking for a few new recipes to try? Check out my round up and see all of my favorite Indian recipes!

Over the years, I've become increasingly obsessed with Indian food. My husband and I got together and he showed me just how amazing Indian food could be. Then I decided to learn how to make it.The journey to being able to make Indian food was hard! I'll never forget the first dish I made. I decided to surprise my husband with chicken curry one night. He called on his way home from work, asking what I was making for dinner. I told him and you could hear how excited he was right away.I spent all day getting the ingredients, finding a good recipe online, and prepping the dish.When he got home, he expected to instantly smell delicious chicken curry when he opened the door. You could even see him inhale as he walked in. However, his face didn't show the excitement I was hoping for. He looked confused.He walked over to the pot simmering on the stove and turned his head.As we sat down for dinner he took a bite and oh so graciously asked what I used to make it. He said it didn't taste like his moms and he was curious if I used the right spices... First of all, my wonderful and amazing husband has learned over the years to never compare your wife's cooking to his mothers!No one wants to hear that after she spent hours cooking, but over the years I realized just how right on he was!I found an American version of chicken curry and even used a curry powder I found at a local grocery store. I used the wrong type of chicken, the wrong spices, and it took 20 minutes compared to the hours of simmering traditional chicken curry needs.The simple answer is you need to find a delicious traditional recipe if you're looking to taste authentic Indian recipes.

My Kids Have Been Waiting For Lahori Fish!

Growing up I was never a big fan of fish. The texture and the idea of it just freaked me out. Then it all changed while I was pregnant with my second son. I craved it all day long! I even went to an OB appointment demanding to know the type of fish I could have and exactly how much because I knew I'd eat every bit I could.I'm not as obsessed as I was while pregnant, but my love for fish was sparked. I realized it wasn't that I didn't like fish it was that I needed to have it made just right!This is why I was so excited when I saw that Shan Foods had a fish fry box! I picked it up right away and showed my boys, who then proceeded to beg me to make it for dinner!

I couldn't believe just how easy it was to prepare! The kids even decided to get their hands a little dirty and help me get it ready!It has quickly become a family favorite in our house and the kid are already asking when momma's going to make it again! Lahori Fish Fry Recipe
