Seven dishes to put your spices to work.

Honest, everyday Indian cooking — each recipe notes the spices it leans on, so you know exactly what to reach for.

Paneer Butter Masala

Soft paneer in a silky, mildly sweet tomato-butter gravy — the restaurant classic, made gently at home. Kashmiri chili does the colour; a little cream and butter do the rest.

Chana Masala

A robust, tangy chickpea curry from the Punjab. Toasting and grinding your own cumin and coriander is what lifts it from good to memorable.

Jeera Rice25 min

Jeera Rice

The simplest way to make plain rice taste like something. Whole cumin bloomed in ghee perfumes every grain — the ideal partner for any dal or curry.

Dal Tadka35 min

Dal Tadka

Comfort in a bowl — soft yellow dal finished with a dramatic sizzling tempering poured over the top at the table. The tadka is the whole point.

Aloo Gobi30 min

Aloo Gobi

A dry, everyday sabzi of potato and cauliflower, cooked until the edges catch and caramelise. Deceptively simple, endlessly satisfying.

Vegetable Biryani1 hr

Vegetable Biryani

The showpiece dish — fragrant layers of saffron rice and spiced vegetables, steamed together so the aromas marry. Worth the effort for any occasion.

Masala Chai12 min

Masala Chai

The daily ritual. Strong black tea simmered with milk and freshly crushed warm spices — the smell alone is half the reason to make it.
