Here's my favorite (meatless) dal/curry recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/red-lentil-and-tofu-curry-101780
Spice level depends on how big of pinch of cayanne you add to it! I like heat, so I usually add a jalapeno to this as I cook the onions.

I know you didn't ask for "healthy" recipes, but The Picky Eater has some really simple and delicious Indian dishes.

Bump!

ActuarialChef

Thanks everyone!

@Queenmunchy I'm open to anything, I just didn't want people posting "substitution"-type recipes. Like cauliflower crust pizza - type things. (Not that I'm knocking cauliflower haha just not in my pizza!)

Gotcha! She does one recipe subbing tofu for paneer, but the rest are pretty "normal!"

Oh, I love this! We've been on an Indian kick lately...both of these are vegetarian, but my meat-eating husband doesn't mind that at all.

not a recipe, but my local health food store sells curry cashews, soooo good!

A 'tip' of a kind- I always find grating your onions makes your curries have a lovely, thick sauce (I usually stick some normal chopped ones in too as I'm a total onion freak) especially when making a dupiaza.

I just came across this recipe for a quick chicken curry dish ~ Chicken Curry in a Hurry ~ lol

I made this seasoning for dusting on curries and it is terrific. I adapted the seasoning mix from this recipe:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/goan-style_pork_loin_45216

50g white sugar
teaspoon each of caraway seeds, chilli flakes, salt

Spread mixture on a non stick silicon baking mat or a cookie sheet lined with silicon baking paper. Bake 150C to 200C until sugar turns to caramel. Cool and peel off the silicon. Break caramel into pieces and put into a ziplock bag. Crush to a powder with a rolling pin.

I need to spend some time on this site! Would Greek yogurt possibly replace the cream or coconut milk? Wouldn't use the first for anything else and don't care for coconut but really want to make Indian food!

I think yogurt would possibly replace the cream in the lentils, but it would have a really different flavor. I think it would probably be good, just different. You could use light coconut milk. The recipe doesn't have a coconutty flavor if that's the issue, but if you just don't like coconut milk, try yogurt.

I do love that recipe site. There's such a variety and most of the recipes are super easy to make and to customize. I have learned that I like more spice and more salt than most of the recipes call for so I adapt them that way. I make the cajun chicken pasta at least once a week, but I always add half again as much spice, for example.

This is Thai rather than Indian but still curry and amazing! I think I got it from the Toronto Star many years ago.
You can change up the curry to add or reduce heat. I sometimes used cilantro instead of basil. I add the peppers just in the last 5-10 minutes so they stay tender-crisp.

Here is mine... I make this a lot. Involves mostly pantry ingredients so it's easy to throw together when you don't have anything else planned, but you can obviously add vegetables, greens, meat, beans etc if you want. I make this on a weekly basis for my son who is still doing virtual school.

Oh and this amazing channel for Indian food. It has some offshoot channels as well that are wonderful! Ive found all the authentic recipes I grew up with, that my mom and grandmother would make. It's all in English. https://www.youtube.com/user/getcurried

I just quickly did the Dal recipe my Indian mother in law taught me and it comes to only 58 cal a serve if serving 4, but honestly for us it lasts about 6-8.

The best restaurant in Tucson (you would think Mexican, right? But you would be wrong!) is actually an Indian place. It's amazing. My favorite dish there (and I've tried nearly all of them) is Chicken Bhuna. This looks very similar to it.

This one is pretty spicy, but oh so good if made right.

https://www.spiceeats.com/bhuna-chicken-masala/

Malabar is my wife's favorite. Not as hot/spicy as Bhuna, more savory and mustardy.

My son goes there every time he's in town and orders the Chicken Tikka Masala. He said it's the best he's ever had and it doesn't even hold a candle to these other two dishes. They are that good. I have a feeling Tikka Masala is what all Americans get when they go to an Indian restaurant. Kind of like the Pad Thai of Thai food. It's unfortunate, because when you really are more adventurous, you get so rewarded with unexpected dishes that you fall in love with.
