We love Indian food for the taste, but the Indian food typically found in restaurants is usually not very healthy. They typically use a lot of oil, ghee (clarified butter), salt, and yogurt in their dishes. The spices and flavors are so amazing, that we were highly motivated to recreate something at home that would taste as good, and we did it!
This is another crowd pleaser that you can confidently and proudly serve to anyone looking for a delicious meal. The fact that it’s truly healthy as well is really just a bonus.
