    Success Tips for Indian Cooking

    Indian food can seem daunting to many with the number of ingredients, spices and steps involved. Here are some of my tips and meal prep ideas that will make Indian cooking much easier for you.

    Fill your pantry with these basic spices

    Here I share the must-have spices to get started with Indian cooking. I cook most of the regular Indian meals with just these 5 spices. 

    • Cumin Seeds
    • Turmeric
    • Red Chili Powder
    • Coriander Powder
    • Garam Masala

    For a comprehensive list of spices that can be a part of your pantry, check my Indian Spices post.

    Prep these basic Ingredients

    Some of the other often used ingredients in Indian cooking can be prepared ahead. Here are some of them, along with ways to use and store them.

    • Ginger paste
    • Garlic paste
    • Curry Leaves
    • Green Chili Peppers

    If you love to meal prep, check out my Bhuna Masala recipe. This basic curry sauce is a base for many indian dishes and can make everyday cooking much easier.

    How to Veganize Indian Recipes?

    You will find that many indian dishes are naturally vegan. However many Indian dishes are vegetarian, which means they might include ghee, yogurt, paneer, cream or milk.

    Let's see how you can replace these ingredients in Indian dishes to make them vegan:

    1. Ghee: One of the most popular ingredient used in India, Ghee, is basically clarified butter. You can replace it with vegan butter or plant based oil of your choice.
    2. Yogurt/ Curd: Yogurt is used as a condiment in raita or in marination in many Indian dishes. You can replace it with plant based yogurt of your choice.
    3. Milk: Use your choice of plant milk to replace dairy milk in indian dishes.
    4. Paneer: It is a popular choice for vegetarians. Firm tofu is a great substitute for Indian curries.
    5. Cream: Often used to get a creamy texture to curries I suggest to replace cream with full-fat coconut milk.
