Indian Recipes

Indian weeknight favorites — silky one-pot butter chicken, charred smoky chicken tikka masala, creamy coconut chickpea curry, restaurant-green palak paneer with seared paneer cubes, and a proper mango lassi — bright, warming, and made for regular kitchens — 5 tested recipes.

Indian home cooking is about blooming spices and building layers, not complicated technique. A creamy butter chicken — murgh makhani — that comes together in one pot, charred chicken tikka masala with its smoky tomato-cream gravy, a coconut chickpea curry that does the same, a restaurant-green palak paneer with golden-seared paneer cubes, and a mango lassi that belongs on every eating agenda: bright, warm, and easier than the reputation suggests.
