I made a list of Indian dishes I want to learn how to make. Mostly because I like crossing things off lists and this will help me stay organized. I also want to make sure I continue to teach myself the fundamentals of Indian cooking, so I can one day improvise and create my own dishes….maybe.

The foundation:

• Garam Masala
• Ginger and Garlic Paste
• Ghee (I know how to make this already. I’ll post about it soon!

Okay now onto the good stuff!

• Hyderabadi Biryani
• Vegetable Pakoras
• Baby Eggplant Curry
• Egg Curry
• Lemon Pickle
• Puris
• Chenna Masala
• Bunny Chow (My husband grew up in South Africa so we have some African influence in our home cooking. Don’t worry, there are no bunnies in this dish).
• Aloo curry (potatoes)
• Idly and Sambaar
• Dosa (This one is for Luke. I don’t particularly care for them).
• Paneer – all kinds of paneer
• Tandoori Chicken

This is all I can think of for now, but I’m sure the list will grow as my skills expand!
