20 Rita Arora recipes – authentic Indian cuisine to try today

People don’t often get the chance to try real Indian cuisine. Unless you have a trip to Delhi planned soon, chances are you only have access to western-adapted Indian restaurants that try their best to give us an authentic experience. However, I have to admit I love the food I find at the local Indian restaurants in my town. While dreaming about a trip to Asia, sometimes I try to recreate the taste myself in my own kitchen. As you already know, Youtube is one of my favorite strategies for inspiration. I have recently found a very nice Indian chef who is a successful Youtuber – Rita Arora recipes.

I love reading about recipes from all around the world and have articles on whatever I can find and am able to store here, on the blog. I feel like people give their best to share their cuisine with us and we should at least spread the word for everyone to enjoy the recipes. Just like Madiskarteng Nanay or Claudia Regalado, everybody is trying to share their culture with the world.

Most, if not all of Rita Arora’s recipes are vegetarian. What I love most is how she tries (and succeeds!) to bring us very down-to-earth recipes. Everyone can try them, even if we are not in India (desserts, sandwiches, veg rolls, etc.). I gathered here a list of accessible, easy-to-try recipes that everybody can give a chance to (in my opinion). I feel like cooks from all around the world need to be supported in order to bring us more and more recipes for different levels of knowledge.

I’d like to know if you try any of her recipes and if you like her style and ideas! Leave a comment if you’d like to share your experience with us or if you’d like to add any advice about Indian cuisine!
