    @Shalini0072016 thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes.

    @crazyravr you are correct. I also like to use them to dress salads occasionally. I make a traditional tamarind date chutney and a mint chutney pretty much weekly. I like to use them on non-indian food (like rice bowl)s as sauce.

    Alot of my recipes came originally from Anupy Singla's Indian For Everyone cookbook. Her stuff is solid and she gives you options on how to make things traditionally or to vary them a bit to make them easier or healthier.

    I keep thinking about picking up one of the cookbooks for making Indian food in a crockpot, but I just don't see how I can make the correct adjustments to the spices...Anyone use a crockpot for Indian cooking?

    @crazyravr I'd love to see a post of a recipe if you have one handy. I do my curries old school on the stove. I worry about how spicy stuff will get in the 10 hours I'm at work if I do crockpot. I have little kids...they have crap palates. I blame it on my husband.

    I am so excited to read your posts! I am learning about Indian foods from many wonderful coworkers at my job and I have been thinking I need a friend to teach me. I found you! I will begin by taking a recipe to Patel Brothers (we have a location near my house) and getting the correct ingredients. I will post here when I complete a recipe. Thank you.

    Asking Indian person if the they use a pressure cooker is like asking a Chinese whether they eat rice lol :)

    so to be more specific, im looking for recipes that use them as pressure cooking is new to me.

    Hey everyone

    I think, most of them are skipping the cooking, as there are not able to find curry leaves. Let me tell you all one thing. It is not really necessary to use curry leaves. It's optional. So, if you can't find them. It's alright. You can cook without them. Curry leaves are mainly used in South Indian cooking( Specially Tamil Nadu). The thing is, we get it for free, when we buy vegetables.

    So. A simple thing. If you people can find. Dry, powdered curry powered in Indian Stores. You can use them as well. Here in India, children don't eat curry leaves, so we mix it in the form of powder. So, they eat it up, not knowing about the curry leaves.

    So. Just start cooking my dear sweetheart friends.

    Meanwhile. I hope. Everyone is able to understand my English. I am not that good in English. Forgive me for my mistakes.

    Happy healthy eating....

    Love
    Shalu <3

    I LOVE this thread! Shalu, thank you so much! I absolutely love south Indian dishes and the only places here serve more northern/Punjab dishes. Your posting these recipes is a wonderful gift!

    Do you have a good recipe for masala dosa (I've got a dosa mix I use, but have not found a good filling recipe yet. I can't wait to recreate one of my all time favorite dishes of masala dosa, sambar, coconut chutney, and idli.

    Now I'm in the mood for a Bollywood movie :D
