Here are some things I have learned about cooking Indian since I was a teenager. Everything I have mentioned here will help you bring out the best flavors in your Indian cooking.
Want to make your Indian food taste better? Cook it the night before and leave in the fridge over night. The spice flavors settle in the ingredients making it tastier the next day!
Always use red onions in Indian cooking. Yellow and white onions are not a big part of cooking Indian food. Red onions add natural sweetness to the food. Who wants to add extra sugar food anyways, right?
Use mortar and pestle to make ginger garlic paste. Best way to get flavors of ginger and garlic in the food. Minced ginger and garlic just doesn't do justice. Here is the link to mortar and pestle which I recommend.
Have all your ingredients measured and ready to go before you start cooking. It will save you all the time and the confusion that follows, not to mention, you will get done with cooking way quicker!
raita
My all-time favorite yogurt sauce, traditionally called RAITA this sauce goes with EVERYTHING!
You can use it on the side of your main entree or top your (Indian curry or any) tacos as well. Add just enough water to plain yogurt and whip it to make a thick but slightly runny sauce. Add chopped onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and salt. You can even add chopped fresh mint leaves. Not only does this sauce taste fantabulous but it tames down the spiciness. Plus yogurt is amazing for digestion and is always recommended as a side with Indian food.
