Technique
A working Indian pantry fits on two shelves. Stock six spices, seven dals and flours, two rices, two fats, three fresh aromatics, three souring agents, plus paneer and yoghurt, and you can cook everything on this site. Buy small amounts of spices and flours, keep rice and dals airtight, and start with the twelve-item list at the end.
Read the guide →“Judge the roast by smell and texture, not colour alone. Besan is ready when it smells like toasted nuts and has turned from a stiff crumble into a loose, glossy paste; stopping early is the most common reason ladoo taste raw.”
