Typical Indian Restaurant Style Recipes

 

Typical Indian Restaurant Style Recipes

 

Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh, Paneer Makhanwala - these are the kind of recipes my Non-Indian food cooking friends list when I ask them what their favorite Indian dish is. The truth is that though Indians do not eat these dishes on an everyday basis. Mostly these dishes are seen on a restaurant menu or at Indian homes on special occasions. However, it is understandable why these deliciously rich dishes are often a crowd-favorite.  This is my attempt to try to make these restaurant style recipes.  So, I have taken a sample menu of an Indian restaurant which will act as a master file for my recipes collection.  Click on the links for individual recipes.

* Restaurants just have regular Chana Chaat. They do not add pomegranates or peanuts in the dish. I thought of making something different, hence, its called Dabeli chaat. You can eliminate pomegranate seeds and peanuts for a regular Chana Chaat.
