Exploring Indian cuisine. How do you find recipes that are not on a traditional Indian restaurant menu?
Jump to RecipeANSWER? GOOGLE IT. The link leads to a huge variety of Indian chicken dishes. This is not the link I used to find the recipe for my Spicy Chicken Curry. It is the point. All you need to do to find recipes is to ask the question. Just open your mind and explore. Challenge yourself to try to make dishes that you have never made before.
The only way to find new recipes is to be willing to fail. I love to try new food ideas. If you have not made it before you really won’t know what it tastes like. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? So hopefully, you can look at the ingredients and get a sense for whether or not you will like it. Go for it and if you like, keep the recipe for another day. If not, throw the recipe away and try again.
