Indian cooking sounds very appealing to me and I'd like to try it soon.
I've found some recipes here and there via the internet, but the collection I have for Indian recipes is essentially only a small handful. A request before I go into great detail with this post. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE FUSION CUISINE WITH THE INDIAN RECIPES POSTED. I'm not trying to be rude or yell, but I'd like to start learning the recipes traditionally used in Indian cuisine before I try recipes that fuse two different cultures cuisines together.
I know it's spicy, which I don't care for, it doesn't suit my palate; I can always omit the ingredients that are the cause of the spicy flavors, which is what I is what I'd intended to do initially, and plan to stick to this plan-of-attack.
I've found a few curry recipes (some for vegetable dishes and some for meat curries). I've also managed to find a few for some lentil dishes; I'm curious to try Indian lentils (in all their various forms) as I've never had them before and they just sound intriguing to me.
These are the recipes I've managed to find:
chicken saagwala (a chicken and spinach curry where the spinach is pureed)
chicken makhani (Indian butter chicken)
rogan josh (a meat based curry using lamb or beef)
Punjabi Dal Makhani (lentil indian curry)
sambar (recipe I have is a vegetable and lentil curry)
Masoor Dal (lentil based curry that uses yellow Indian lentils)
Grilled Indian Meat Patties (believe the name is Kheema, but not sure)
Aloo Mattar (a curry that uses ground lamb or curry; has typical Indian spices, garam masala, and some veggies in it too)
samosas (have meat and veggie filling variations for it)
Those are the recipes I have.
I'm looking for other Indian recipes. I would like these categories:
Soups/stews
Salads (pickled or regular if applicable with Indian cuisine)
meat dishes (if it calls for lamb, tell me a substitute I could make and what type of meat I should use please.......pork, chicken, or beef; I've never had lamb before so I don't know if I'd like it; in addition, lamb is difficult to acquire where I live, and when I can acquire it, it's very pricy since it's hard to come by)
curries (includes purely meat curries, purely vegetable; OR a meat and vegetable curry; would like different categories of both please)
last but not least....
since they're used constantly in Indian cuisine and I'd like to try them anyway, recipes using Indian lentils.
If a recipe refers to ingredients in Indian dialect, please give the English
equivalent. This request applies ESPECIALLY to dals (the different types of Indian legumes). Please specify what color the lentil is, how big, if it's split or not.......as I'm not very familiar with Indian lentil recipes. If anybody would like copies of the recipes I listed above, please let me know, as I have copies of them all; I'll be more then happy to provide the links as well as the recipes that I didn't acquire via surfing the internet.
