Tips for Indian cooking

A few tips for Indian cooking

Use non-stick pans and use wooden spoons so that they don’t scratch

For blending, use a food processor or hand held blender

Stock up on the spices – don’t buy a huge variety

Most recipes use a number of spices and its useful to measure these out before you start cooking.

Aim for simple dishes

When using yoghurt, beat it lightly until smooth before adding ingredients

Combine an Indian main course with plain vegetables, rice or a salad and flat bread.

Create your own style of Indian by using a mixture of cumin, tumeric, coriander and chilli.

If using other recipes, reduce the amount of oil, and use low fat varieties of coconut milk and yoghurt instead of the full varieties.
