Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

1

Anyone have some simple recipes for Indian food at home? Most of my Exposure to Indian was when I was vegetarian so I only really know the legume and dairy based dishes. I'm really Craving the spices and flavors of Indian cuisine, though. Please share your recipes. Extra points if it's adaptable for a slow cooker or a 20 minute or less recipe.

I need something dairy free, and preferably without potatoes. I love coconut.

sorry there BeingVenus, but the majority of really good indian food uses lots of herbs and spices and slow cooking. it is a complex style that takes a long time to master. i cook a lot of indian food, and although you can cook quick versions (and they might taste ok), they will lack the real flovours and depth of traditional indian food.

	Have a favorite recipe to share? :-) I can learn I won't be serving it to guests. It's just for me. – Aughra Jun 9 2011 at 3:27
	Peter, I've been cooking curries for a while and can't seem to master the "depth". Can you share some tips with me? – Danielle Jun 9 2011 at 6:40
	Probs hard to put up recipes, but my favourites are from Atul Kochhars books. They are absolutely amazing, and pretty cheap on amazon or like. Most curries follow the same formula though. Cook your onions & garlic, add your masala (spice paste), brown your meat, add liquid and slow cook. Difference will be in the masala and liquid used. Depth comes from adding different flavours at different stages, such as fresh coriander at the end. slow cooking will make your curry nice and rich and intensify the flavour, so i usually prefer lamb, as i think it can take being cooked for a long time. – peter Jun 10 2011 at 12:32
	Forgot to say, one of the most important things is to roast and grind your own spices. if you are using ground cumin and coriander seed from a jar you lose so much flavour – peter Jun 10 2011 at 22:45
