For beginners, many Indian recipes are simple and flavorful. Try dishes like chana masala (chickpea curry), dal tadka (lentils with spices), chicken curry, paneer butter masala, and vegetable pulao (spiced rice with vegetables). These recipes use only a few spices and take less than an hour to prepare, making them ideal for weeknight meals. Serve them with freshly made chapati, naan, or basmati rice to complete your meal. Once you master these dishes, you can explore more complex recipes such as biryani, dosa, or kebabs, expanding your skills in Indian cooking.
