Indian Recipes

India’s culinary treasures, shared with the world through vibrant recipes.

Welcome to IndianRecipes.co.in! An amazing portal for Indian food lovers around the globe.

Indian food varies and is distinct to the state and culture. It is amazing to notice how people are accustomed to the environment and climate conditions to adopt foods either by the local produce or suiting the climate.

The quantity of tamarind used in the South per day could amount to the month’s utilization in the North. Spices, condiments, and vegetables also vary per state. With transport facilities and seamless geography, people are transforming their cuisines into much variety. A Gujarati is equally fond of Rajma-Chawal as a Punjabi adopts Dhokla and Undhiyu.

Lodi is celebrated in the North and Pongal simultaneously in the South. Lodi sweets are special with sesame and jaggery balls whereas in the South the Pongal rice is unique with jaggery dal-rice and salted dry fruit topped khichdi. Baisakhi is the harvest time in Punjab and Kerala celebrates its plump produce with the best vegetables and a lavish Sadhya ( feast).

Hotels are adopting a multi-cuisine as most customers like to taste varieties and new recipes. The dosa or a muli parantha still holds good competition to the burger and the noodle.

The rice variety is interesting. Besi bele Bhaat, Vaangi Bhaat, Phodnicha Bhaat, Lemon rice, Masala rice, Basmati Pulav, and vegetable biryani are some of the platters in rice preparations. The rice variety comes with a lot of brands and the length of the grain is also different. Cooking rice may sound routine but flavouring it is surely an exponents job.

Indian snacks and soups have got an exhaustive list. A simple tomato saar can be an accompaniment to the thali and the shorbha (stew) has all the nutrients for a healthy intake. Spinach and vegetable soups are garnished with freshly crushed pepper, jeera, and salt and served hot.

Snacks include Dhoklas, Handvi, Muthias, and Pancakes in salted and deep-fried varieties. Nothing is more refreshing than a hot cup of masala tea with fried Bhajiyas.

There are different types of cooking oil used across different states in India. While the Bengalis prefer mustard oil, the South Indians use coconut oil and other parts use groundnut, sesame, cotton seeds oil, etc. Sweets are traditional and some of them have a connection with religious festivals or specific to a function.

It is traditional in the North to distribute Motichur laddoos at the time of a marriage in the family. A Sheera is a favorite evening snack among the Maharashtrians. The Punjabis are famous for their Rabdi-Jalebi and whole wheat halwa. Payas of Bengal has sisterly connections with the Payasam of Tamil Nadu and the kheer of the Uttar Pradesh people.

In an urban and cosmopolitan society, individuals are getting on to more experimenting within their households. Culinary instincts conjure up easily with a wide range of cookbooks and friends circles.

As a seasoned Indian food and recipe blogger exploring flavors from all over this wonderfully diverse country, allow me to provide you with a tasty preview of some spectacular regional cuisines.
