4. Masala Bhindi

Okra, tomatoes, and onions are used to make Bhindi masala.
 
Masala refers to a curry base flavored with onions, tomatoes, spices, and herbs. Bhindi means "okra," whereas masala refers to a curry base flavored with onions, tomatoes, spices, and herbs.
 
Bhindi masala is essentially okra curry at this point. It is ideally served with rice because it is quite spicy. The starchy side dish helps to cool things down. Roti and naan bread can also be used.

Aloo chat is a roasted-potato meal. The potatoes are seasoned with spices and fried in ghee for a buttery flavor. Cumin powder, chaat masala, mango powder, and salt are just a few of the tastes in this addicting snack.

Another crispy fried potato snack is pakora. This snack comes with a warning: it's incredibly addicting!
 
Potatoes and other vegetables are sliced into strips and deep-fried till crispy, seasoned with turmeric, chili, and other spices.
 
It's like French fries, but with a lot more flavor!
 
Pakora is dipped in sweet chutney instead of ketchup, giving it a delicious sweet and salty flavor.

In a tomato-based gravy spiced with aromatic spices, peas (matar) and cottage cheese (paneer) are cooked.
 
While we can't get enough of palak paneer, this comparable dish is equally as tasty.

Chutney is a fruit or vegetable-based sweet, spicy, and tangy condiment. It can be used to flavor a variety of dishes as a spread, dip, or sauce.

10. Naan Bread

Who doesn't enjoy a good naan bread? The renowned Indian flatbread is extremely soft and buttery. It pairs well with curries and stews, but it's also delicious by itself.
 
While naan is quite similar to chapati and roti (which are the same thing), it is slightly fluffier and pillowy because of the yeast.

11. Aloo Paratha 

Flatbread is known in India as paratha. It's an Indian classic, similar to naan, that's typically consumed for the morning.
 
Traditional parathas are delicious, but potatoes elevate everything. Flatbread packed with potatoes is known as aloo paratha. To add flavor, the potatoes are seasoned with coriander, ginger, and spices.
 
This is the meal for you if you need to bulk up on carbs.

12. Rava Pongal

Pongal is an Indian term for rice, which is a common ingredient in Indian cuisine. Rava Pongal is a rice substitute made with dal (lentils) and sooji (soybeans) (semolina).
 
The best part about this dish is that it perfectly imitates the feel of rice! You'll get a more healthy dinner because the ingredients are healthier.
 
For a hearty and refreshing lunch, serve rava Pongal with coconut chutney and ginger tea.

13. Aloo Gobi

Gobi refers to cauliflower, while aloo refers to potatoes. Steamed cauliflower and potatoes are combined to make aloo gobi, a delicious supper.
 
Potatoes and cauliflower aren't particularly flavorful, but don't worry; Indian spices are here to help!
 
Aaloo gobi is anything but bland, sauteed with seven distinct spices, including ginger, turmeric, and cumin, to name a few.
