Favorite blogs with authentic Indian recipes?

[dAZ]

I've been cooking more and more Indian food and looking for blogs that have tried and true recipes. Any suggestions?

Not a blog, but the cookbook Rasika (from the restaurant in DC with the same name) is fantastic.

Try the blog myheartbeets - I’ve only made the dal makhani, but it’s amazing.

For all my Dishoom fans: www.amazon.com/Dishoom-cookbook-much-loved-Indian-restaurant/dp/1408890674
Not a blog but the Aloo Chaat recipe in there is worth the $20 alone.

Also a cookbook, but H has Made in India by Meera Sodha. He really loves it, and has made some good dishes.

Another cookbook, but Priya Krishna's book, "Indian-ish" is very good. She's a great writer.

I'm just here for the recommendations, but my pro-tip is that if you don't have the space or funds to buy a bunch of cookbooks, check your library. I'm super lucky and my library system is great, and now thanks to everyone in this thread, I have a whole slew of cookbooks on hold. Thanks!

Yep. Most of my recent cooking jaunts have been with cookbooks from the library. I rarely stick with one cuisine for more than a few months. The library has always had anything I've wanted.

It's not just one of my favorite restaurants, it's one of the Obamas I still dream of that cardamom ice cream. I realize that's a fairly polarizing spice, but I adore it. 

I have this cookbook. Again, not a blog, but my understanding is it's considered to be practically biblical. www.bookdepository.com/Classic-Indian-Cooking-Julie-Sahni/9780688037215 

I don't have it anywhere near me at the moment, but I got a cookbook in Vancouver, BC (not Vij, although I ate there. Yum!) where it was blog style in its simplifying of recipes. We don't all have a spice cabinet of 30 spices just for our garam masala. I'll see if I can get the person with access to it to send me the title.

Vegan Richa.

www.veganricha.com/

Even if you’re not vegan, her recipes are delicious. I’m not vegan, but use her cookbooks regularly and just substitute in the meats my kids/H want to eat.

She has a few cookbooks and a blog/IG/FB.

I've found recipes wildly vary based on the region of India the author is familiar with. I made several things that just didn't seem to turn out right and ended up asking the owners of my favorite Indian restaurant what area their recipes are from. Turns out I like Northern Indian food. Now I try to add that to my Google search when looking recipes up.
