About Indian cooking
What defines Indian cooking?
Indian cooking builds flavor in layers rather than in one pot at one time: whole spices bloomed in hot fat (the tadka) start or finish a dish, ground spices go in with the onion-ginger-garlic base, and garam masala is added late so its aroma survives. The regional split is real — north Indian cooking leans on wheat, dairy and ghee, south Indian on rice, coconut, curry leaves and tamarind — and heat is only one dimension among sour, sweet, bitter and astringent. Our 2,511 Indian recipes cover everything from quick weeknight meals to classic dishes worth learning end-to-end.
What are common Indian pantry staples?
Cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, mustard seeds, chili powder, cardamom and cinnamon; plus basmati rice, atta flour, lentils and chickpeas, ghee or neutral oil, ginger, garlic, onions, canned or fresh tomatoes, yogurt and coconut milk. Cumin, turmeric, coriander and garam masala are the starting four.
