Hello. This is Tomato Blues, my blog where I share quick, easy and fresh Indian recipes. Help yourself to a medley of semi-homemade meals, budget-friendly cooking, naturally vegan food and expat-friendly Indian cooking.
Here, you will find wholesome recipes made in the Instant Pot and easy recipes that you can whip up in the air fryer. There is almost always a substitute for most spices I use.
For folks who are exploring Indian food and unsure about the spice level, use 1/4 of the spices or ground spices mentioned here for the first time. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 tsp red chili powder, I recommend adding 1/4 tsp.
