Reminders

Each recipe here specifies the spices necessary, but general rules are: use garam masala for everything, kat a kat for dry veggies, achar gosht for legumes, and lahori fish for fish. When these spice mixes aren't available at home or in stores, it's easy to make them– or something similar enough!

It’s also good to know that these dishes are generally meant to be made together. It's not necessary, of course, but allows for coordinating dishes which makes things easier. For example, preparing one onion and splitting it in half between your okra and daal.

These recipes can take some time– shortcuts are allowed. They're surprisingly healthy meals and work great for mass cooking a week or two of a dish, though it does taste a bit worse that way, as Indian food naturally lends itself to small, hot, fresh portions.
