How many people love Indian food? I will freely admit, I fell in love with Indian food when we lived in New Jersey. Every so often my husband would treat me to a wonderful lunch at Mantra, where I would try a variety of ethnic dishes that were truly out of this world. It was the one thing that truly saddened me when we went back home to Kentucky – I knew we wouldn’t find a good Indian restaurant here. Sure enough, most of what I have tried here has been Americanized Indian that well….doesn’t taste anything like I remember. Like, no spice really at all. With my utter disappointment, I knew the only way I was going to have good Indian again is if I learned to make it at home.
While so many of my friends make awesome food, very few of them had ever tried Indian, never mind learned how to make it. Also add in the fact that Indian food can be very different compared to the region of India, it can easily get overwhelming trying to cook these cultural dishes. Luckily, some of my blogger friends can to the rescue, introducing to a wonderful slow cooker book, suggestions, and of course, delicious recipes. I was actually a bit overwhelmed with all the suggestions and couldn’t wait to start cooking, especially the ones that I could throw in my slow cooker.
Knowing that some of you love Indian food just as much as me, I couldn’t wait to share with you some of my favorite recipes. Below, you will find 20 of the yummiest Indian recipes I have found from other bloggers. Many of these recipes are super easy to make and a great way to impress guests. Feel free to click on the picture below to be taken to the recipes. If you make any of these recipes, feel free to tell us what you think!

I have never tasted Indian food. I enjoy spicy food but don’t like curry. I’ll have to look at the ingredients and hopefully try a couple of these.
I do love Indian food!! Its so expensive to go out to enjoy too! Thanks for all the great recipes!! Can’t wait to try them!! If anyone is looking for these spices World market has an amazing variety!!
I love a good Indian and the spicier the better. I’ve got a couple of aubergines (what you guys call eggplants) in the fridge so I’ll definitely be trying the chicken & eggplant masala, although I’ll probably go hotter & make it a rogan josh.
These all look so great! I don’t know which one to try first.
Tikka masala and tandoori chicken are some of my favorite Indian foods. Never tried making them myself so these recipes are certainly helpful.

I LOVE Indian Food! Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙂
We like Indian food, but I haven’t tried to make any. When I have to buy ingredients that are only used for one kind of dish I worry about spending money on it. These do look good though.
The curried cauliflower recipe sounds fantastic! Thanks for this post!
I’ve got to try the tikka marsala, it’s my husbands favorite. Thanks for the recipes.

So excited I found this! I love Indian food but sadly moved away from my favorite Indian restaurant several months ago. I haven’t been able to find Indian food in my area since then and am always trying to mimic my favorite dishes at home. Thanks for the suggestions!!

I LOVE Indian food! My old boss was from India and he would make stuff all the time. When his Mom came to visit she would always get me to try stuff she made! Sometimes I thought ewww but then you just taste it and eat it not to disappoint. I have to tell you, I was NEVER disappointed in anything I tired 🙂
These look fantastic! Thanks so much for the recipes.

I have always wanted to try Indian food, but with recipes I never knew where to start. Thank you for sharing these! They look delicious and easy enough for me to make! I can’t wait to try some!
I LOVE Indian food, everyone else in my family is not on board with that. My son likes butter chicken, but does not like naan bread which I find weird. My husband’s response to me cooking butter chicken, is “I smell curry” and my daughter does not like it either. These recipes look great.
I haven’t tried a lot of Indian food, so this post gives me some great ideas! Thanks,
Thank you for this post! I love Indian food, and would like to start learning more recipes. I really like that so many of these recipes are vegetarian-friendly, or can be easily modified to be so.
I like Indian food but the heat of it does not like me. 🙁
Thanks for the roundup! I love Indian food and need to cook it more often!
While I am a pretty picky eater, there are several dishes here that look like something I would at least try. I wish I weren’t picky and could try many different foods, sometimes I do get sick of eating the same things.
I have been trying to introduce the family to international food- so this is perfect! We have not tried Indian yet! I think I’ll start with the Masala Garlic Ramen Noodles!
I love Indian food. Just pinned this for future reference. So many recipes I would love to try!
I have the perfect occasion in mind for this meal. Im so glad that I saw this recipe today. I know that it will be a hit!
