Indian food has frequently shown me my limits as a cook. But then I had a lousy Aloo Mutter at a nearby restaurant, and I thought I should try my hand.
I used this recipe and it came out very well. Not entirely perfect, but worlds better than what I ate out. Maybe I can start cooking this cuisine more at home...?

Personally, I find Indian food pretty manageable, and I hope to make a channa aloo curry tonight. One of the things that I find elevates it is to start by sautéing cumin and coriander seeds, after the onions have softened, and before adding everything else. -

@AccordingtoWouter It was good!

In fact, I made a Frankenstein recipe tonight, alternating between Instant Pot baby potatoes and a recipe for Channa Aloo Gobi. I had no cauliflower. It was scrumptious, with the spices sautéed with potatoes and onions, adding a couple of star anise pods, some channa masala spice mix, and ginger/onion paste. After a short pressure cook, I added the chickpeas and crushed tomatoes, and cooked one more time at pressure. It tasted SO good! With the #InstantPot, it can be hard to replicate the exact texture, but the flavour is exceptional. -

I am making channa dal this afternoon (South Indian style), but with moringa leaves from the garden. The channa is already cooked (from the freezer) so I just need to cook the greens and onion/ginger/garlic, and add the spices. I have plentiful curry leaves so they always go into the tadka.

@dnkboston It was shockingly good, in my opinion, the first time I've added it to Indian food. It's funny how I love the liquorice flavour in some food and hate it in others.

@EllenInEdmonton You know Five Spice Powder? I've always hated it, and it's because of star anise. Anise and fennel are fine though.

Yes, I think that the star anise is my favourite part of 5-spice powder and real chai. It's a very commonly-used seasoning in Vietnam. -
