 Introduction
As one of the oldest civilizations still in existence, India contains over a billion
people. They are spread out over a diverse set of regions, religions, languages,
and even clothing choices. However, this mixture comes together to create the
whole of India. Just as the country is varied, so is the food that you can find in
the country. Sometimes it’s defined by the region as there are some different
crops that you will find it specific spots. Sometimes it will depend on the major
religion of the area. People that have been in India have also changed the food
that they eat as well.

Indian cuisine is loved around the world because of the variety of spices that it
uses. Of course, the cuisine is still changing and evolving. The food has
become more and more popular which means that the flavors aren’t as foreign as
they were once before. Dishes like Garam Masala and Haldi are making
appearances in kitchens everywhere.

But even as people are falling in love with Indian food, people are running into
another issue: time. These dishes are harder to prepare when you are up against
the fast moving pace of the rest of your life. People want to still make good food
for their family, but it has to be able to work with their life. Many dishes require
much more time and attention than we have to give to the dishes we want to
make.

In order to help you, we’re going to focus on the Dum pukht method of cooking.
It is a slow cooking process. It means that you’ll be cooking some food in its
own juices. It uses fewer spices but keeps the flavors interesting. And these are
dishes that you’ll be able to put together and then go off and do everything that
you need to do. You’ll come home to a house that not only smells great but has
a dish ready for you already.
 Indian Cooking Basics
Everything about an Indian kitchen is wonderful. The spices and sweetness that
mix there are incredibly unique and powerful in the modern world. Just the
aroma of the spices will make your mouth water. The dish will be even better
than the smell. Because of all the flavors and how they mix together, a lot of
people have fallen in love with Indian cuisine. While some dishes might seem
like they’re beyond you, the dishes we are going to go over in this book are
going to be well within the range of things that you can do.
 Important Techniques
While the common perception is that Indian cuisine and the associated cooking
styles are complicated, you’ll find that there are some very not complicated
techniques that will allow you to get to those complicated flavors. However,
regardless of the complicated nature of the dish, there are some basics that you
will need to know.

This recipe book is focused on the slow cooker recipes that you are going to be
using, but there are still techniques that are going to be important to you. We’re
breaking them down here because you might face several of the techniques
together for the same dish. It can seem intimidating when you’re looking at the
dish, which is why we’re going to go over the basics right now and set you up
for future delicious dishes.
 Steaming (Dum)
Dum is the name of the technique of cooking a dish in its own steams. In
cooking with a slow cooker, you will often be using a variation of this
technique. This is accomplished in a slow cooker by putting the lid on top of the
slow cooker and allowing none of the steam to really escape.

Dum allows the dish to keep the smell and flavors sealed inside. In the past,
they would use wheat flour dough to seal the container and then set the pot on
hot coals. There, the dish would cook until it was completed. Obviously, you
won’t be using the wheat flour dough with our recipes, but it is really interesting
to know how the style of cooking was originally done.
 Tempering (Baghar or Tadka)
When you use tempering, you’re going to seasoning your dish with a hot oil that
has spices already in it. This kind of seasoning can happen at the beginning of a
recipe or towards the end. It will depend entirely on the dish.

In order to infuse the oil, you will heat the oil until it begins almost smoking. At
that point, you’ll turn the heat way down, then add the spices. After this, you put
the oil in the dish.

There is a little bit of danger that you will need to keep in mind when you are
doing this dish. When you add the ingredients to the oil, it is likely that oil will
bubble and fly around you. You will need to move quickly and make sure that
you are protected from the oil that might splash on you. You’ll also want to
avoid adding water to this mixture as it will cause the oil to splash and will
reduce the flavors of the dish.

Add the ingredients to the oil one at a time to make sure that you’re getting the
most out of each ingredient. You should work from whole spices to the herbs to
the powders.
 Sautéing (Bhunao)
This is one of the most common ways of cooking foods in all of Indian cooking.
You will saute the ingredients over medium to high heat. You’ll have to
constantly stir the ingredients while you are going. When you are doing this,
you might want to add some water to the ingredients. This will keep them from
sticking to the pan while you are cooking them.

This sautéing technique will bring out the best flavors of the ingredients. But
you might be uncertain about how long you need to saute things, but you should
saute the ingredients until the fat separates from the mixture that you are
cooking.
 Grilling (Tandoori Cooking)
In the past, cooking in the kitchen has been done in clay ovens which are also
known as tandoors. The recipes in this book don’t require you to have a
tandoor. They have been adjusted to better fit with the grill or oven in your
kitchen.

Tandoori cooking can also include some marinating. We have included times in
our recipes to make sure that you’re getting the most out of the flavors in your
dish. You’ll definitely want to keep the dishes marinating for as long as
possible.
 Deep-Frying (Talina)
Deep frying is another well-known way of making dishes in India. Typically
people will use a wok or something similar in shape and depth for the oil. In this
case, you might feel more comfortable using a deep fryer. There are differing
opinions about how you should treat the oil for your deep frying. Common
knowledge is using new oil every time. But some people like to reuse the oil.
You’ll want to let the oil heat up between batches of frying things. This will
make sure that everything goes according to plan. You should be using just
enough oil for the things that you are trying to fry. Using too much can actually
be hard.
 Essential Ingredients
When it comes to Indian cooking, there are some common ingredients that you
will need to be aware of. They are necessary for every dish and they might be a
little bit odd for you. But once you’ve figured out these different flavors, you’ll
really be able to make each dish unique and interesting.
 Spices and Spice Mixes
There are many spices that are used in Indian dishes. They are found in many
forms which means that there are tons of ways to really put them together. With
mixes, you’ll want to create mixes of spices when you need them. You don’t
want to have them prepared in advance because you want to make sure that all of
the spices are the best they can be. However, if you don’t have the time to create
the mixes, you’ll be able to find premade mixes in Indian grocery stores. You’ll
have to be very careful with the dates on the package as you want to make sure
that you are getting good spices and not old ones.
 Ginger-Garlic Paste
This mixture, in particular, is very important in this recipe book. In order to help
you get the most out of it, we have included a recipe here so you don’t have to
search for one on your own. You may also be able to find a paste already mixed
in an Indian grocery store. This mixture is a little bit tricky since it can cook
quickly and possibly burn. You’ll want to have your eyes on it while you are
cooking.
 Oil
When cooking Indian dishes, you will find that ghee (clarified butter) is one of
the most common cooking mediums. However, you may want to use light
vegetable oil instead. Ghee can provide a unique flavor to the dishes that you
are making. In other areas of India, they also use mustard oil. This particular oil
is more pungent and has to be heated up to its smoking point before you use it in
the cooking process.

You will not find olive oil used in traditional Indian dishes. Olive oil can cause
spices to lose their flavors. As well, olive oil burns more easily and cannot often
stand up to the high heat required for Indian dishes.
 Souring Agents
Indian dishes require so many different flavors all in one dish. In order to get the
sour flavors into a dish, you will need special things to bring in the flavor. You
will find that tamarind, lime or lemon juice, tomatoes, vinegar, and sometimes
yogurt can be used to make a dish have a slightly sour flavor.

Tamarind and lemon juice can replace one another. If you need a souring agent
that isn’t wet, you will probably use amchoor or dried mango powder in order to
get that flavor.
 Tenderizer
In order to tenderize meat, you will often use papaya and yogurt. In this book,
we also suggest pineapple as a tenderizer instead of just those two.
 Thickening Agent
In order to get the body that you need from the sauces in some dishes, you will
find that yogurt, chickpea flour, nut pastes, and onions are used. They can really
make a sauce thicker and more appealing.
 How to Cook with Spices
Spices are a definitely important part of Indian cooking. There is a lot to know
about these spices. Ancient texts will often talk about how they can help the
human body, preserve dishes, and add flavor to food. The ancient Indian art of
healing, known as Ayurveda, focuses in particular on how food plays into the
health and well-being of individuals. The texts say that in a single meal or at
least once a day, you should have sweet, salty, tangy, and hot flavors. Flavors
like these can be provided by spices.
 Spice Combinations
When it comes to using spices, they can provide a complex flavor to seemingly
simple dishes. But you also have to know how they work together. While there
is no right way to mix spices, playing with spices will allow you to find the
mixes that you like the most. If you’re new, then you might want to take
advantage of the fact that there are premade spice mixtures in Indian grocery
stores everywhere. These can also just save you some time.

But when it comes to Indian food, you will want to really pay attention to the
spices. There is a learning curve of understanding the flavors when they should
be added to dishes, and the order you should add them is incredibly important.

Some of the spices need to be cooked to get the most out of their flavors. There
are some spices like cloves and raw green cardamom that can be used raw and as
a garnish.
 How to Prepare Spices
When you are preparing your spices, you need to make sure that you’re doing
everything right. There are several different ways to prepare spices, so we’ll
make sure that you’re doing everything the right way.

When using oil or ghee for cooking the spices, you will need to make sure that
you’re getting the oil hot before you’re adding the spices. Hot oil is going to
retain the flavors of the spices that you are using. If the oil is cold, then you will
not get as much flavor. Ghee can be heated quite hot and it will hold the flavors
of spices a little bit better than most oils.

When roasting spices, you’ll want to make sure that your skillet is dry. You will
also want to make sure that you’ve gotten the skillet hot before you start adding
the spices. You’ll have to be prepared to move quickly as some of the spices
will heat up quickly and can burn.

Also, make sure that you’re making the proper substitutions of ingredients when
you’re trying to substitute things. Some ingredients like coriander powder
cannot be replaced by fresh coriander. If you are uncertain about what can be
replaced with what, use the index and we’ll help you find the right substitution.
You will also find that replacing ground spices instead of whole spices is
something that you can easily do. The strength of the flavor goes down when
you’re using the powder, but that can be good sometimes.

You will want to taste your dishes often to adjust the seasonings that you are
adding. You will want to make sure that your dish isn’t getting overspiced.
When you are starting out, you will struggle a little bit to understand exactly
how everything works together. As you learn how the spices work, you will be
able to change how you use them in each dish with ease.

Before you start cooking, you’ll want to make sure that your spices are ready.
Many of these recipes will require your spices to be ready to go one right after
the other. So make sure that you have them set up and ready to go for when you
need them.

Finally, if you burn your spices, just toss them out. You will not want to add the
burned ones because they aren’t going to taste good.
 Basic Spices
These are the spices that you are going to need if you are cooking a lot of Indian
food.

Red chili (powder and whole) Salt

Coriander (powder and whole) Cumin seeds

Turmeric

Bay Leaves

Mustard Seeds

Cinnamon

Black peppercorns

Cloves

Black and green cardamom Mango powder

Carom seeds (also known as ajwain or ajowan) Dried fenugreek leaves Tamarind
pulp
 How to Grind and Store Spices
When using spices, the first thing is making sure that you are using the freshest
possible ingredients. You will probably want to replace your spices once a year
if you aren’t using them all the time. In order to test the freshness of your
ingredients, you can smell them. If the spices aren’t that smelly, then the spice
has probably lost the potency that it once had. This is true for spices that are on
their own and it is also true for spices that are mixed.

When you are grinding spices, you can use a mortar and pestle. You can also use
a coffee grinder, although you will want to have a coffee grinder that is only for
the spices that you are preparing.

When storing spices, you will want to keep them in a cupboard or drawer that is
far away from direct sunlight. You will also want to keep things in a glass or
plastic containers. This will allow you to see how much of the spice that you
have.

You will want to avoid using damp utensils when getting spices from the jar.
Keeping moisture away will make sure that the ingredients are lasting as long as
possible. Storing ingredients in the fridge can keep them fresher especially if
you live in a particularly hot area.
 Tools
When it comes to cooking, there a variety of tools that you will need. We will,
of course, need a slow cooker for all of the recipes in this book, but there are
many more tools that you will need.

A deep pan (preferably nonstick) Tempering pan also know as Tadke ka bartan
(1-to 2-cup capacity specifically for tempering) Food processor Blender

Sieve

Spice grinder (mortar and pestle, coffee grinder, etc.)

These tools are going to be the specialty tools that you need. There are other
tools that you will need, but most of them will already be in your kitchen.
 Masaledani
In every Indian kitchen, there is a masaledani. It is a spice box that contains 5 or
6 of the most basic spices. You’ll need these spices a lot when you are cooking.
In order to help make them less intimidating, we will be going over the basics of
these spices.
 Turmeric (Haldi)
This is one spice that you have to have. Regardless of the area of origin,
turmeric is going to make an appearance in almost all of the dishes from India.
You will find that this spice is very similar to ginger, so it may even look like
gingerroot when you are picking it up. Fresh turmeric has a particularly strong
flavor, but it is often used in a more mild, ground form. In addition to flavor,
turmeric adds color to food. It is even considered the Indian equivalent of
saffron.

The yellow color and mild flavor are great, but turmeric can also be used as a
preservative. When you’re making pickles, you might use salt and turmeric as a
way of keeping them good for years after you’ve dried them in the sun.

This spice is used to color everything from cheese to spice mixes, yogurt to salad
dressing. It can also help by reducing inflammation and being used as an
antiseptic. When you have a cut or bruise, you may want to rub a paste made
from turmeric on it. This mixture will help you. Turmeric and warm milk can
be combined to help reduce a fever as well.

Thanks to all of the properties of turmeric, there is a special place in the kitchens
and homes of Indians for this spice. It is especially important for Hindu
households.
 Chili Powder (Lal Mirch)
Chili probably made its way into India when Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese
explorer, came to the country. The spice has made its way into many of the
dishes. The climate of India actually worked well with chilis and many varieties
are grown across the country. Chili powder in Indian is very similar to cayenne
pepper. However, unlike other areas, the ground pepper is going to be purely the
ground pepper. In other parts of the world, ground pepper is sometimes
combined with salt and other spices.

These peppers are going to anywhere from orange to dark red and have quite a
bit to them. If you aren’t able to stomach the spices, then you might need
Kashmiri lal mirch. It is the milder version of chili powder and will have some
color that it can add to dishes. Some people will use Kashmiri lal mirch purely
for the color that it can give to a dish. Chili powder is useful in almost all dishes
as many Indian dishes tend to be on the spicy side.
 Cumin (Jeera)
Cumin is another of the common spices. There are several ways that cumin is
found. You can find it whole or ground. It also comes in two different forms:
black and white. Black cumin, also called royal cumin, is a little bit sweeter. It
is also a little bit harder to find than white cumin.

However, cumin, in general, has a warm and earthy flavor. This makes it great
for soups and stews. You’ll find that when you roast cumin, you will have a
good flavor to add to cheese and bread. If you have roasted and ground cumin,
then you’ll want to add it to raita which is a yogurt-based dip. Cumin can help
with your digestion, so you’ll find it in the Indian form of lemonade, jal jeera.
 Asafetida (Heeng)
Asafetida is a bit strong and can smell a little bit like sulfur. This can make it
hard to imagine using, but the odor is something that you will smell all over the
entire plant when you are cooking. This spice isn’t often found in the west, but
Indians use it in many different dishes.

It has a delicious flavor when added to dishes in oil. But you’ll find that it has
great medicinal properties. It can help with digestive issues. It can also help
with lung-related issues and diseases like bronchitis and asthma. When people
were a little more superstitious, they would use this spice to keep the evil spirits
away from children. There are even some beliefs that it can help with anxiety
and alcoholism.

This spice is mainly used for lentil dishes. You only need a pinch and sometimes
even less in oil to season a whole dish. This is quite a potent spice.
 Mustard Seeds (Sarson)
Mustard is a spice that people know all around the world, but it is very common
in India. People will use cooked mustard greens to powdered mustard seeds.
The flavors are very common. In the western parts of the world, you’ll find that
most people use yellow mustard, but black mustard is much more common in
India.

Mustard seeds are part of salad dressing, vegetable dishes, and curry. The oil
that you can get from mustard seeds is as common as olive oil is in Italy.
Mustard oil was used long before vegetable oil made its way into the market, but
it isn’t just used for cooking. It is also used for body massages as well. The
health benefits that you get from the oil are very helpful. It is a long strong
tasting, so that might take some time to get used to.
 Coriander Seeds (Dhaniya)
This is the last ingredient on our list, but it isn’t something that you should
forget. The smells of this spice are going to make your kitchen smell amazing.
Coriander is known in the US as cilantro, but it is also very common in India. It
is used in many sauces and as a garnish.

The fruits of this plant have seeds that have a sweet, citrus flavor and a nutty
smell to them. This is a staple in the Indian kitchen. You will be able to buy
whole seeds and roast them on your own. After roasting, you will want to crush
them to use in other ways. You can also make a powder and use it in curries and
things. There are many different ways to use these seeds, but they will always
be at home in Indian cuisine.
 Making Recipes Slow Cooker Friendly
When it comes to making a recipe work in a slow cooker, many will translate
easily. You’ll be cooking ingredients in a little bit of liquid for a long period of
time. You’ll be able to play with these recipes and make them work a slow
cooker even when they weren’t meant to.

But you’ll find that some recipes will be a little bit more difficult. Deep frying
food in a slow cooker isn’t going to work as well, but braising or stewing recipes
are going to work easily.

You will even be able to prepare dried beans in the slow cooker. It will involve a
little bit of work since you will have to soak them overnight, but it can work
really well and cost you just a little bit less than canned beans. But canned beans
can save you a little bit of time in the long run.
 Improvisation and Shortcuts
Don’t be afraid to put your own spin on things according to your unique tastes
and preferences. Every recipe looks a little different in different households, so
make sure that you try to take the time to make the recipe your own.
 Meat
When cooking meat in a slow cooker, you will not have your meat browned in
the cooker. If you want browned meat, then you’re going to need to brown it a
little bit before you add it to the slow cooker. Just searing the meat or quickly
sautéing it will allow it to look brown.

If you are making a stew and need a thick broth, then you can coat the meat in
flour. This will not only speed up the sautéing and browning but also help
thicken the sauce.

Slow cooking works well with the cheaper, leaner cuts of meat that you need to
cook for longer before they become tender. If you are transposing a recipe from
oven or stovetop, then you might need to pick a leaner cut of meat that will be
better suited to being in the slow cooker.

Make sure that you’re not overcooking thing. Poultry tends to cook quickly, so
just four hours on low will be enough. Poultry will turn out better when you are
using wet ingredients in the slow cooker as well as it will make sure that the lean
meat will not dry out.

When you’re using a slow cooker, you will save time by not having to marinate
your food. The marinating process happens in the slow cooker as it takes hours
and hours for the flavors to become part of the dish.

 The “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean 15”
Every year, the Environmental Working Group releases a list of the produce with
the most pesticide residue (Dirty Dozen) and a list of the ones with the least
chance of having residue (Clean 15). It’s based on analysis from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture Pesticide Data Program report, and unfortunately
some popular ingredients in Indian cooking have made the list.
The Environmental Working Group found that 70% of the 48 types of produce
tested had residues of at least one type of pesticide. In total there were 178
different pesticides and pesticide breakdown products. This residue can stay on
veggies and fruit even after they are washed and peeled. All pesticides are toxic
to humans and consuming them can cause damage to the nervous system,
reproductive system, cancer, a weakened immune system, and more. Women
who are pregnant can expose their unborn children to toxins through their diet,
and continued exposure to pesticides can affect their development.
This info can help you choose the best fruits and veggies, as well as which ones
you should always try to buy organic.
