I have never dealt with fresh nutmeg, which is called for in your fabulous spicy beef and butternut squash dish. How do you prep it? Peel, cut in half, grate it? And what is a handful amount? I didn’t know it is even available….where?
I made the Keema Curry (80/20 lean beef) in Instant Pot Duo. The taste and flavor was wonderful but the Keema became LUMPY. That was a big disappointment. Can you tell me why this happened and how to correct it next time? Thanks.
I just picked my first two fresh okra from my garden this afternoon. I searched and found your Indian okra recipe. OMG it was delicious. I did modify a bit, using bacon grease and added some Curry and Ginger finally also added some diced fresh tomatoes and a tiny jalapeno. I’ve saved this recipe because my okra will be coming on strong I’ve got plenty of tomatoes to pick so I’ll be in hog heaven from my garden.
You can add dry pudding mix to the Aldi cake mix and make the cake any flavor as well as adding a cup of sour cream and a tea of vanilla an it makes a very moist cake. I make them for friends and family and you can’t tell it is gluten free and I make a chocolate ganache icing.
I just made your coconut flour naan bread. It is amazing! I have tried lots of recipes and was living disappointed. It was fast to fix and tasted delicious. The only thing I would change is the amount of salt. I place 1 tsp. of salt as recipe said and it was too much for me. I will try 1/2 tsp. salt next time. Great flavor and looked beautiful. I’m hooked! Thank you sooooo much! Can you come up with a coconut flour crepe recipe that doesn’t use a ton of eggs please?
Hi Ashley, thanks for this recipe, very excited to try it. Can I freeze the rotis bread after they are cooked? When I bake I always make more so I can freeze the extra. Thanks again, love your blog!! ❤️
I love your onion masala recipe and have been making it since the last few years and have tried most of your dishes that use onion masala! Thank you for it!
For the matar paneer when I make it without the cream the curry is watery. What substitute would you recommend or how would you recommend tweaking the onion masala quantity to make it without heavy cream?
Accidentally put in 1 tsp cayenne vs what was called for, but it’s still delicious and a great recipe! Used heavy cream but left out the green pepper. Served with basmati rice, butternut squash, and apple raisin compote. Thank you for nice recipe! I’m signed up for more.
Hi Ashley! I had subscribed earlier and was not getting any emails! Just came to know you had a new baby! Heartiest congratulations… I m a grandma of 6 little one and love to feed them! Your simple dump recipes come in v handy! Love that everything is measured and tested!! Thanks dear for all the hard work… I have a measuring cup in all my raw materials as I always measured & made recipes for my kids … now I don’t have to make them….. thanks a lot
I love your recipes and bought your book under preassure. I’m looking for recipes using black lentils I like them better. I have your instant pot spiced yellow lentil recipe. Will the cooking time be the same for black lentils?
I used to be on your mailing list before, but for some time now, stopped receiving any updates from you. I have resubscribed to your blog and look forward to seeing new recipes from you. A while back I had purchased your Indian Food Under Pressure cook book and the book accidentally got thrown out with some other magazines to my horror. My cousin just gifted me this book from Amazon and am truly happy to have it again.
Hi Freny, I know – I’m sorry for not sending out any new emails. I had my third baby and decided to take a little time from sharing new recipes for now – but all my previous stuff is still online and available! I appreciate you reaching out and am so glad my recipes have been helpful for you 🙂
I didn’t see a Mexican Recipe for Mexican (not Spanish) chorizo & potatoes. It’s just that simple, and simply delicious.
Surely, your version of this dish would possibly outshine all.
Your fruit cake recipe looks marvelous, and I’d like to try it. How far ahead of Christmas can I make it? I’m looking for a fruit cake I can make in advance to replace the plum pudding which has become unpopular in this family!
Hi thank so much for your recipes.what is good to cooking seafood with ,what spices.
And what spice you can use to lose weight and still cook with your spices and use your recipes
And veggies what spice should I use, on cabbage, string beans,broccoli.
Your book is a lifesaver. It’s our go-to for most of our entertaining and I have gifted this book to multiple people who’ve asked “Where did you get this recipe?”. I’m thrilled to have found your website!
I am 80 years old and a totally American southern cook. I have recently been suggested by my doctor to explore Indian recipes because of the different spices and health benefits. I have tried several of your recipes and they are spot on! I have not found any one of them that was not tasty and delicious! The most recent being the mango chutney recipe and it is out of this world as well! Please keep the recipes coming I am thoroughly enjoying them!!
I made your Masala Lamb Rack and oh my gosh easily the best thing I have ever made. Thank you so much! The journey to learning how to cook properly is tough but websites like yours are a game changer. I’m going to look into getting your book.
That’s awesome, I’m so glad you liked it so much 🙂 You can find all the recipes from my book online on my website for free, so up to you if you want to get it. Thanks for letting me know how you liked the lamb!
Just discovered your wonderful web site. Coming back after COVID I’m rearranging some things and the food I eat is high on the list. Lived for five years in the Punjab as a child and love Indian food. Something about your approach is very inviting and I’m putting together my grocery list for the week based on your recipes. And your use of the InstaPot is appreciated, temps in Arizona hit 108* today so time in the kitchen is rationed. Best wishes to you and your family.
PS A recipe for Ghee would be appreciated. It seems to be selling for prices influenced by it’s being called ‘yellow gold’.
I would like to share your recipe for rosemary garlic ground lamb and potatoes withthe people attending the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this weekend. I am working in the lamb promotion booth to try to get more people to eat lamb. Is it ok to print and pass out your recipe and to share your website/instagram and facebook links with them
I just made your Punjabi Curry sauce and added leftover bite size pieces of baked lamb teamed with Coconut flour naan . It was the yummiest even better than with the eggs.
Hello Ashley ! I have a question about the Instant Pot goat curry. Our Indian store here has cut up goat with bone in 2+ pound sizes which I get for both of us. What size is good with the pressure times? Some of the bone pieces are 3-4 “. Do you cook without cutting them again or not? Thank you.
I prepared your cranberry chutney recipe for the first time and it turned out great. I had it with crackers but will have it with ham tonight.
I read the reviews before preparing it. Added less methi seeds but added some pomegranate powder too.
Thanks Ashley!
Warm wishes for 2023!
Made chocolate barfi in my 3 qt instant pot and worked out just fine. Within half an hour of spreading I put the tray in the freezer for half an hour. Cut it into pieces and stored in the freezer to be eaten after each dinner. Simple recipe as usual.
I have made dhokla’s before but never turned out spongy. This time I also had all the ingredients and made it in the stove top steamer in a 6″-7″ cake pan. Came out perfect. Thank you.
I but used cookbooks all the time – most are in perfect condition. However, when I want a recipe, I usually go to the internet. I make dinner from scratch every day and love making soups for lunch.
I miss the Indian restaurant located near my recent job location (Now retired) and am trying to make Indian recipes, so I was very happy to find your blog. Thanks.
Janyth, I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know how much you and your family like that recipe! Can’t wait to hear what you think of other recipes you try 🙂
Hi Surati, you can find black salt, also known as kala namak, online. What is the recipe you’re looking to make? Some recipes that call for this ingredient really rely on the flavor.
My daughter and husband got out of their seats to hug me and thank me for making your instant pot chicken Biriyani mid-week! They absolutely loved it!!!! What a quick and easy recipe, but full of flavour and taste! Thank you for sharing it!
Ashley, I made your Kalakand recipe this week. One word…Amazing! I took some to work and it got rave reviews. I also gave some to my son’s girlfriend (she’s Indian) and she loved it as well. I love that it’s not over sweet and the cardamom really comes through. Thank you so much for sharing!
Renee, that’s so great to hear! Thank you for letting me know how the kalakand turned out. Glad your co-workers and your son’s gf loved it! So nice of you to share with them 🙂
Your site looks good. I’m looking for the type of wonderfully spicy (baked?) chicken livers we had at the Nepalese Embassy in London a few years ago. The ambassador said,”These will be too spicy for you.” My wife replied,”He will love them.” The chicken livers were outrageously good.
I Love how well your Web Page is setup! Can’t wait to try your recipes for my Instant Pot. I look forward to your E-Mail recipes. I am am 70 years old and Love to cook anything, your recipes that i have glanced at look to be a Favorite source for me to use. Thank You and your Grandma’s recipes.
Thomas, thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words 🙂 Glad you are enjoying my website. I hope you’ll let me know what you think of any recipes you try!
The shrimp roast is the most disgusting platter of food I have ever seen. I love Indian food and eat it regularly when I travel to India but I don’t have the stomach to make it. The shrimp roast might be good but it looks terrible.
Hi Ashley, I must have visited hundreds of recipe sites over the years and have always stubbornly refused to subscribe– your site is THE FIRST. I love what you’re doing here, and my wife and I love Indian cuisine. As the cook in our house, I have always wanted to learn how to make it but it’s always seemed so daunting! Thanks for sharing what you know so freely, and I think your WHY is why I subscribed. All the best to you and your family.
Hi Jonathan, I appreciate this comment so much! Thank you for taking the time to leave it 🙂 I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying my site and recipes!
Oh my goodness..l made this for the first time tonight and it was amazing!! Whole family approved and everyone wanted more!! This will be the “go to” for butter chicken from now on!! Make it…you won’t regret it! Follow the recipe exactly….Yum!!!
Your bisquit recipes are the best I’ve found. I was buying expensive package keto mix but thought to myself..💭 I have all this coconut flour? Why not utilize it? Thanks so much…
Thank you for this recipe! I make crackers with it. As a diabetic, I need to watch my carb consumption and this recipe helps me do that. Keep the low carb recipes coming!
I lost a great recipe that was yours , I think. It had sweet potatoes, pomegranate molasses, walnuts, kale Chinese 5 spice powder and more , I think. Could you reprint it if you recognize this?
so good ashley ! it looks real pretty too , cooked for diwali annkut at out temple to be offered to god for the new yrs ! happy diwali —
also for the person who complained u are making money from ads — im sorry — i doubt u make anything from this anyway — and if u make some its prolly pennies– this seems to be your passion and thank u for sharing with all of us
I have been trying your recipes all the time, they have been almost perfect. It reminds me of the taste 41 years ago when I left India. Thanks Ashley!!
Hi Ashley,
Thank you so much for helping a novice like me to start cooking. You are awesome.
One quick question: If I want to make 2 cups or more rice then what is the ratio of water and cooking time?
Ashley HELP!!! I’m making One pot cauliflower dal and all I have is green (Desi) chana dal. Can I use it the same as other days or are they just for sprouting? Love your channel, by the way!
I have loved your website and hadn’t used it for a while. I came back to it this week and have to say I’m disappointed to see how much advertising you have added. I know it generates revenue but it’s distracting enough that I find myself not using your site as much anymore.
Alex, glad to have you back – hope you stick around! I believe there’s a way to turn ads off on your end. I do need to keep them up on my site though as blogging is my full-time job. I appreciate the feedback though and will see if there’s anything my ad company can do to make them less distracting.
I made this today and it was delicious. I had to rush to the in-laws and couldn’t simmer too much but it
was great. My husband says its better than my mom’s. I was in heaven. I’m from a family of Kerala cooks, thiruvalla and kottayam, so this was the biggest compliment. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Btw. Instant Pot is the best invention since sliced bread.
Thank God you also married a malayalee.. you incorporated these recipes in here.
Amazing stuff! I’ve made several batches now, and go through the frozen pucks pretty quickly.
I’d like to share with a non-cooking friend in another state. Can your onion masala be hot water bath canned? I’m hoping that the tomato makes it acidic enough to do so.
Hi am happy to see how and why we all do this Recipe different , meaning good things.
I made this green mung dal today it was delicious I love all your spices that you use in making the M. G. Dal lm west indian and we cook dals just the way you do. we use a bit more of our spices, as we are the Isle of Spices thats Grenada. love the soups recipes they are very healthy thank you. you are doing a great job.
Take care for now. Annmarie.
Great recipe. I browned some onions to put on top. Made a quick raita- ish yogurt to go on the side. Glad i found your website. Always looking for new recipes. Thank you.
How do you rectify Indian Kaju katri if it becomes hard like rock and cracks It cooled as I got busy with other work and missed the time i made in with 1 lb cashews so cant even throw… please help thanks in advance.
Oh man, you can always crumble it and add it to desserts – it’ll still be delicious, just not shaped quite as well. When it comes to sugar syrup, it helps to be very quick. Hope that helps!
Hi Ashley,
Love your recipes! Your Instantpot saag recipe is excellent because you wisely don’t call for adding water. Most other recipes I’ve come across do and it winds up watery whereas yours comes out perfectly creamy. Can I put in a request for an Instantpot saag gosht recipe? Thanks!
Thanks, Weston! I think my chicken saag would work well with lamb – maybe add an additional minute to the cook time. If you try, let me know how it goes!
Hey! absolutely love your blog! we’ve been eating your meals two or three times a week! Thank you so much for putting all these awesome recipes out there. Flavour town!!!! 🙂 It’s so nice to have Indian recipes that are simple and easy to follow. I grew up on all Canadian food and never learned how to cook with these spices. I really appreciate what you’re putting out 🙂
Can’t thank you enough Ashley! I’m not a great cook by any means — I’ve tried 3 instant pot recipes (Mango Cheesecake, Carrot Halwa and the latest Chocolate Cheesecake) and they’ve all been a big hit. My wife and friends absolutely LOVED them. Double thanks for eggless recipes 🙂
Hello Ashley, Thanks for sharing your culinary skills. Your recipes and Facebook groups are inspirational. I try all your recipes. Your onion masala is my weekday time saver. I can’t imagine by days without this. As I was watching your dates roll video, thought of checking with you about your knife. It glides so smooth. Do you mind sharing what knife you use or you have recommendation for knife set. Will appreciate the same. Thanks so much for sharing.
Anna, I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for the kind words 🙂 As for the knife in the video, I’m not sure as that belongs to my videographer, however, I recently bought a couple of Wüsthof knives and like them so far. My parents recently got some Cutco knives they bought from Costco and I actually think I like theirs better – so maybe look into that as well. Hope that helps!
I LOVE your site and your recipes, Ashley. I was just looking for an Instant Pot mung dal recipe (easy and fab) and found your wonderful trove of recipes. I’ve spent enough time in India over the years to fall in love with the both the complexity and simplicity of the cuisine . I’m looking forward to trying more. Today, I’m going to make the pumpkin dal and the Paleo Roti. Excellent! I will be sharing your site with all my yoga pals!
Hi Ashley, I want to try paleo roti or nan. But, my husband is diabetic so using 1/2 cup of tapioca starch is not good for him. Can I use raw banana flour instead along with coconut flour or flax seed meal?
Hi Anuradha, I’m sorry but I haven’t tried this using raw banana flour so I’m not sure. I’m also not very knowledgeable about diabetes so I’d hate to steer you in the wrong direction. If you experiment, please let us know how it goes.
Loved this recipe and I used canned corn and somehow nobody noticed!!! The blend of spices was excellent.
Thank you for sharing your culinary expertise.
Thanks to your nomato onion masala recipe, I am able to deliciously incorporate more beetroot into my diet and my son whom we recently discovered, is allergic to tomatoes and cinnamon, gets to enjoy things like chicken curry and dal again. I’ve even used it to make nomato spaghetti bolognese and got lots of praise for it. I am truly grateful.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks you for creating this site, you have finally made it easy to cook indian food. Yesterday was the first time I made Onion Masala and that made it so easy to cook other dishes you have it on the website.
Thank you so much for putting so many g free and dairy free recipes! You opened a world of options for me. I absolutely love your recipes. Just the fact that I can now eat gulab jamun again(been Celiac gor 8 years and haven’t had one since) makes me feel empowered :))
Help! I am helping with a formal dinner for about 30 people, 12 or so of whom are vegetarians (and fairly open-minded eaters). I’m planning on using an Instant Pot, partly just because the food will stay hot. It’s Beef Bourguignon for the carnivores. Any suggestions on an “upscale” dish for the vegetarians? I haven’t figured out yet if it will need to be gluten-free, but that can’t hurt. I have your Indian Food Under Pressure with a lot of wonderful recipes. I don’t have South Asian Persuasion, but if that’s got the right recipe, I will happily try it. I have plenty of time to make any number of trial recipes before the big day. Thanks!
Hi Marc, so sorry for the late reply – hopefully all went well if you already had the dinner party! Have you seen my Indian dinner menu blog post? If not, please check it out! As for really nice vegetarian dishes, try veggie korma or veggie biryani or egg biryani – all of those recipes are on my website 🙂
I’m new to Indian Cuisine and I never really “took” to my Instant Pot until quite recently. I made your Green Bean Thoran recipe two nights ago and I’m hooked. So delicious!
Hi. I love Indian food, but so many Indian recipes have tomatoes as ingredients and I have a tomato allergy. Any suggestions for a substitution? Tomatillos are okay for me…similar texture and moisture content, but obviously different flavor. Help?
I’ve been wanting to try a nightshade free onion masala blend using beets but haven’t gotten around to it yet – so for now I’d just choose recipes without tomatoes! I get asked about this a lot so I’ll work on compiling a list and will share it soon!
Hi Ashley, I am so excited to have found you! I was gifted an Instant Pot and Urvashi Pitre’s cookbook a couple of years ago, and have been using her recipes for a while in my Instant Pot and have really enjoyed them. We are having friends for dinner this Saturday and they asked if I would be willing to let them cook with me since they love Indian food but have been nervous to make it. Although we love the cuisine, I have always been reluctant to have people eat with us when we do Indian, because I’m just not sure what entrees to pair with what sides. I did a google search for Indian dinner party menus and it lead me to you. Thank you so much for putting options together and making it a bit easier for me! This Saturday, I plan on serving your Lamb Rogan Josh with Matar Pulao, Aloo Gobi, and Naan. For dessert, we will have the Mango Cheesecake (just ordered the mango pulp). Does that sound like a good combination of wet and dry? I’d love to hear your feedback and will certainly let you know how it goes! Thanks!
Heather, I’m so glad you found me and my dinner party menu post! I’m so sorry for the late reply but that menu sounds PERFECT! How did the dinner party go?!
I am so happy to find you …… thank you so much whenever i ask about a recipe they make it rocket science!! but no more, thanks a lot love your cooking God bless you!!!
I’ve recently acquired an Instant Pot and today made your Instant Pot Dal Makhani recipe for lunch. Deeelicious. Came out perfectly. Can’t wait to try your other recipes.
Tom, I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for letting me know how the dal makhani turned out for you 🙂 I can’t wait to hear what you think about any other recipes that you try!
Hi Ashley,
I’m new to your recipes. I enjoyed reading your story. I want to make your chicken & wild rice for my granddaughter when she comes to visit this weekend from college. She is both gluten-free and dairy free (as well as allergic to soy). I was excited to see the chicken & wild rice recipe, however I don’t have a pressure cooker. How can I adapt your recipe so I can prepare this without a pressure cooker? Thank you for your help. You will be helping this Mimi (grandmother) score big points 😊
hi ashley, i have been looking for a great indian food resource for awhile, and i think i just found it!– your advice is great, and so are the recipes- i have been trying to decide if i should buy a pressure cooker or an instapot? i visit india frequently and everyone there LOVES their pressure cookers- i wonder if you could weigh in on your preference and why??? i have just been using my old slow cookers and tho i turn out wonderful dishes with them, i wonder if i am missing something? thanks so much for your beautiful site and enthusiasm for the worlds best cuisine- i enjoyed seeing pictures of your lovely family and the spoiled dog too. and it was hard to say which wedding garb was most beautiful!
Margaret, hooray!! I’m so glad you found my blog 🙂 I prefer electric pressure cookers and actually wrote a blog post about why I like them for Indian cooking if you want to check it out! I had an old school pressure cooker from India that I got for my wedding and gave it to my mom as soon as I got my IP. Now my mom only uses her IP too! Electric pressure cookers are like slow cookers in that there’s no need to babysit anything on the stove but it cooks food faster. It’s also much easier to clean than a slow cooker or a stovetop pressure cooker. I hope that helps!
Just found your site and really enjoyed reading your story and looking at all of your awesome recipes. I am new to Indian food, just tried it for the first time 1 year ago and can’t get enough of it. I’m trying to follow a low carb diet so I hope to be able to try a few of your recipes. Thank you!
Ann Marie, I’m so glad you found my site! And I’m happy to hear that you’re new to Indian food and like it so much 🙂 I can’t wait to hear what you think of my recipes!
I am SOOO excited to try out these recipes!! Just stumbled upon your site and this is what I have been looking for…for a long time!! Haven’t even made a dish yet but I so appreciate all that you are doing here!! 🙂
Although I’m fairly adventurous with food, I must admit to being basically ignorant about Indian food. So I was a bit surprised when a friend gave me an article from our local newspaper about you and your “Indian Food Under Pressure” cookbook (I love my Instant Pot, too!). I had to research and mail order some of the spices, but have now tried all three recipes from the article and am newly in love. I’m looking forward to continuing my education about Indian food and spices, have signed up for your newsletter and will be purchasing the full cookbook! Thanks so much for broadening my horizons!
My sister bought me your book as a surprise for my new Instant Pot after I took her to her first Indian Restaurant, and she fell in love! I’m also trying to lose weight and I’m amazed how healthy so much of the cooking is being veggie and spice heavy. I’ve reduced some of the ghee and coconut milk and the recipes are still so delicious. My husband said this Saag was BETTER then the one we get at our local place, and the chicken biryani and butter chicken were “to die for”. I discovered your blog when I looked up “Garam Masala” and made yours fresh. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making one of my favorite cuisines so accessible and easy.
Sandra, this makes me so happy to hear!! And wow, that is such a compliment! If you get a chance, would you mind leaving me a review on amazon? Thank you so much for letting me know how much you like my book 🙂
Just got an Instant Pot and am looking for recipes to use with it. Found LOTS out there but so far, your web site has the best collection recipes that I’ve found! Keep up the good work.
I love your recipes.I have been following you for a couple of years and appreciate the Paleo Indian recipes. Are you still in Pittsburgh ? I lived up there from 1950-1968 in Shadyside near Walnut street. After traveling for years, including one year in India, I moved back in ’75 for a few years . What a wonderful small City feel Pittsburgh has and it’s food culture and many different International cultures make it one of the best places to live. Thanks again for your great recipes ,Lucy .

Lucy, thank you! I’m really happy to hear that you’ve been following for a couple years 🙂 Yes, I’m still in Pittsburgh and we are here to stay – which I’m so happy about! We live in Shadyside next to Walnut street – I walk there almost daily! I couldn’t agree more about the lovely small city feel!
Hi Ashley,
My husband, John finally broke me down with the purchase of an InsantPot.I fought against for a an entire year because I just didn’t want another appliance, in addition to the others that we have🙄. I’ve been experimenting with the easy stuff( eggs, oatmeal…) and t decided it’s time to really see what this pot can really do. That’s when I started looking for Indian recipes. Your blog came up to when I searched for butter chicken recipes.What a surprise it was when I clicked on a FAQ and saw a picture of you and Roby! My in-laws were friends with Roby’s parents(same malyali circle) and John and I attended your beautiful wedding too. Congratulations on your new baby! He looks adorable!
Fantastic job on the blog too. I’ve made 3 dishes so far and they have all turned out great!
Say hi to Roby and for us:)
Divya
Hi Divya, it’s so great to hear from you!! I’m happy you’re liking your Instant Pot and even happier that you’ve tried three of my recipes! Hopefully we will all get to meet again some time soon 🙂
Hello Ashley – I’ve been infatuated with Indian vegetarian cooking and spices and the general way Indian culture respect the human body. So excited to see your beautiful blog.This weekend, a new Indian grocery shop opened in my neighborhood – and it’s the first of its kind in our town! I purchased some young okra from them and found your recipe, which I will use. I look forward to more yummy-ness to come.

hey !!
cool site and nice to navigate and love the option of printing the ingredients and method.
Please do more VEGAN main meals. “The world is changing” be ahead of it xx
Ok. I found your site looking for a ground beef recipe. I don’t remember the name of it, but it is ground beef, potatoes, and carrots with meat Masada and various spices. I did most of the spices and the meat Masada (it smells absolutely awesome!) But had no curry leaves. I can’t afford them on amazon but I’m going to try to find them locally. I have no idea about Indian cuisine and the names of the dishes, but I’m excited about learning and trying some new recipes!
Hi Ashley how refreshing, so few ingredients and the end result so rewarding, will try your waffles and naan bread with spring onions like the Vietnamese spring onion pancake that of course uses wheat flour. This certainly sounds better. Love all your recipes. Jessie
Hi Ashley
I just bought your recipe book and drooled through every entry. I’m going to try the Naan recipe and probably make a lamb dish on the weekend.
Have a few questions –
1. I am gluten intolerant and also have to be careful about sugar. I note that you use coconut sugar which has a lower glycemic index but is still too sweet for me. What should I substitute and in what ratio?
2. Can the Naan’s and roti’s be frozen? I’d like to make a batch of them on the weekend when I have more time and then pop them out as needed. Any special way to defrost or warm them up?
3. The big thing I miss about eating Paleo is that I should forego my favorite comfort food in the world — dahl. Do you have any lentil-free dahl?
Hi Karen! You can definitely freeze the naan, just thaw it out and re-heat it in an oven or on a skillet. I don’t have a paleo daal recipe but I highly suggest that you try my mulligatawny soup – I think you will love it! And, I’m not sure what recipe you’re asking about to sub coconut sugar? Please let me know what you think of the recipes!! 🙂
Seems like the naan bread has got us all then!
I cannot believe how easy, how quick and versatile it is!
Joined immediately and looking forward to more things like this. I am not paleo but carefully gf, yeast and egg free so it is hard to get real food and things that I am happy to eat and share.
Even waffle and I had a little machine (yes, gadget mad too) bought for me, lies unused. I think it needs something to get me into it. I love my little cake machine too (any recipes for that are very welcome please)
I am not a cook but the 3 ingredient or so really is perfect for me and nothing to put aside promising myself I will get round to it.
Hello Ash…..I just lucked onto your blog and am SO excited by your Indian Paleo recipes! I have been truly missing some of the old flour faves and now you have introduced some delish alternatives….THANK YOU!!
I am so madly in love with your site! I have been paleo for almost a year now and, though I love roasts and salads, I was so excited to see your recipes to try something new! This is an awesome resource for those of us who want to cook outside of the realm of typical American/Euro fare while following the parameters of Paleo. Thank you and keep up the great work!
So stoked about your site! I went paleo a while ago and with a Kenyan upbringing it was hard finding food I liked. Kenyan food is HIGHLY grain based and starchy but with alot of Indian influences so when I saw paleo Indian style? Imagine my joy! I cannot wait to try your paleo naan since I still have a love affair with chapati so a healthier option will be amazeballs.
I have subscribed and look forward to all that you have to offer. Seriously thank you for this and I wish you all the best in everything else you do 🙂
Hi Chris! That’s awesome – so glad you found my website! I’ve actually been working on a Kenyan goat curry – hopefully I’ll have that up sometime this fall/winter. Glad to have you here! 🙂
I can not express how excited I am to have found your site!!! I am looking at these recipes and actually saying, “I can do that!”
Thank you for putting this out there. I am excited to make dozens of your recipes already.
This site is fantastic! My husband and I did away with gluten, grains, legumes and dairy at the beginning of the year (your tummy trouble story sounds so much like my own!). I’ll admit we were pretty bummed out by the diet for a number of weeks. But your butter chicken recipe was a game changer! We both LOVE Indian food and your recipes are so great to follow. Have you thought of publishing a cookbook? I would totally buy it! Thanks so much!
Thanks, Jen! Your comment just made my day! Hopefully a cookbook is in my future but let’s see 🙂 Hope you’ll let me know how any other recipes turn out for you!
Just starting so I need all the help I can get! The Buffalo Crispy Chicken Salad caught my eye first! And the apple turnovers! Thank you for this site!
Can’t wait to try your naan bread recipe. I am gluten/dairy free and it’s hard to find a tasty bread recipe. Going shopping tonight to buy the ingredients…….excited!!!! So many ideas 🙂
Loving your naan bread recipe, I made curry pasties with the smaller crepe style and cooked only one side this week and made a curry beef mince filling with vegetables. I went to a Mexican night this week and I took the naan bread to eat with Mexican dinner.
John Manohar Jacob says
Thanks for all the great recipes. Just beginning to explore Instapot ..
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Glad you’re enjoying them!
Sheila says
I have never dealt with fresh nutmeg, which is called for in your fabulous spicy beef and butternut squash dish. How do you prep it? Peel, cut in half, grate it? And what is a handful amount? I didn’t know it is even available….where?
Manjari Peiris says
Could you kindly whether I may make Naan using;
Atta flour and mix with baking powder and coconut milk.
Thanks.
Shoban says
I made the Keema Curry (80/20 lean beef) in Instant Pot Duo. The taste and flavor was wonderful but the Keema became LUMPY. That was a big disappointment. Can you tell me why this happened and how to correct it next time? Thanks.
Gerard says
I just picked my first two fresh okra from my garden this afternoon. I searched and found your Indian okra recipe. OMG it was delicious. I did modify a bit, using bacon grease and added some Curry and Ginger finally also added some diced fresh tomatoes and a tiny jalapeno. I’ve saved this recipe because my okra will be coming on strong I’ve got plenty of tomatoes to pick so I’ll be in hog heaven from my garden.
Kokila says
Hi can I use water instead of coconut milk?
Lisa says
You can add dry pudding mix to the Aldi cake mix and make the cake any flavor as well as adding a cup of sour cream and a tea of vanilla an it makes a very moist cake. I make them for friends and family and you can’t tell it is gluten free and I make a chocolate ganache icing.
Frustrated Gluten/Grain Free Lady says
I just made your coconut flour naan bread. It is amazing! I have tried lots of recipes and was living disappointed. It was fast to fix and tasted delicious. The only thing I would change is the amount of salt. I place 1 tsp. of salt as recipe said and it was too much for me. I will try 1/2 tsp. salt next time. Great flavor and looked beautiful. I’m hooked! Thank you sooooo much! Can you come up with a coconut flour crepe recipe that doesn’t use a ton of eggs please?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi! I have a coconut flour naan recipe that is egg free on my blog and just as good as the paleo naan/almond flour naan one!
NinaAnne says
Hi Ashley, thanks for this recipe, very excited to try it. Can I freeze the rotis bread after they are cooked? When I bake I always make more so I can freeze the extra. Thanks again, love your blog!! ❤️
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Yes I freeze bread all the time, including the paleo naan!

Shalaka says
I love your onion masala recipe and have been making it since the last few years and have tried most of your dishes that use onion masala! Thank you for it!
For the matar paneer when I make it without the cream the curry is watery. What substitute would you recommend or how would you recommend tweaking the onion masala quantity to make it without heavy cream?
vimal says
This recipe makes our product expensive and can not compete with market leaders like MDH /EVerest.
how can make economical but eually good products.
Fran Prudhomme says
Accidentally put in 1 tsp cayenne vs what was called for, but it’s still delicious and a great recipe! Used heavy cream but left out the green pepper. Served with basmati rice, butternut squash, and apple raisin compote. Thank you for nice recipe! I’m signed up for more.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Glad it worked out well! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Amita says

Thanks dear for all the hard work… I have a measuring cup in all my raw materials as I always measured & made recipes for my kids … now I don’t have to make them….. thanks a lot
Dorothy says
I love your recipes and bought your book under preassure. I’m looking for recipes using black lentils I like them better. I have your instant pot spiced yellow lentil recipe. Will the cooking time be the same for black lentils?
Fran says
I use black lentils, too, and cook them a few min longer than soft lentils.
Freny Khambata says
I used to be on your mailing list before, but for some time now, stopped receiving any updates from you. I have resubscribed to your blog and look forward to seeing new recipes from you. A while back I had purchased your Indian Food Under Pressure cook book and the book accidentally got thrown out with some other magazines to my horror. My cousin just gifted me this book from Amazon and am truly happy to have it again.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Freny, I know – I’m sorry for not sending out any new emails. I had my third baby and decided to take a little time from sharing new recipes for now – but all my previous stuff is still online and available! I appreciate you reaching out and am so glad my recipes have been helpful for you 🙂
Perry S. Hamilton says
I didn’t see a Mexican Recipe for Mexican (not Spanish) chorizo & potatoes. It’s just that simple, and simply delicious.
Surely, your version of this dish would possibly outshine all.
Martha Bradford says
Hello,
Your fruit cake recipe looks marvelous, and I’d like to try it. How far ahead of Christmas can I make it? I’m looking for a fruit cake I can make in advance to replace the plum pudding which has become unpopular in this family!
Thank,
Martha

Dell Causseaux says
I am 80 years old and a totally American southern cook. I have recently been suggested by my doctor to explore Indian recipes because of the different spices and health benefits. I have tried several of your recipes and they are spot on! I have not found any one of them that was not tasty and delicious! The most recent being the mango chutney recipe and it is out of this world as well! Please keep the recipes coming I am thoroughly enjoying them!!

William says
Just discovered your wonderful web site. Coming back after COVID I’m rearranging some things and the food I eat is high on the list. Lived for five years in the Punjab as a child and love Indian food. Something about your approach is very inviting and I’m putting together my grocery list for the week based on your recipes. And your use of the InstaPot is appreciated, temps in Arizona hit 108* today so time in the kitchen is rationed. Best wishes to you and your family.
PS A recipe for Ghee would be appreciated. It seems to be selling for prices influenced by it’s being called ‘yellow gold’.
DAL says
Do you have a recipe for haleem?
Kate says
I would like to share your recipe for rosemary garlic ground lamb and potatoes withthe people attending the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this weekend. I am working in the lamb promotion booth to try to get more people to eat lamb. Is it ok to print and pass out your recipe and to share your website/instagram and facebook links with them
Lesley B says
I just made your Punjabi Curry sauce and added leftover bite size pieces of baked lamb teamed with Coconut flour naan . It was the yummiest even better than with the eggs.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Lesley, I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know how much you liked it 🙂
Winnie says
Hey pls share recipe for coconut flour naans!
Shanthini says
Hello Ashley ! I have a question about the Instant Pot goat curry. Our Indian store here has cut up goat with bone in 2+ pound sizes which I get for both of us. What size is good with the pressure times? Some of the bone pieces are 3-4 “. Do you cook without cutting them again or not? Thank you.
Diane says
Do you have any curry recipes that dont use base gravy?
Alexis says

I prepared your cranberry chutney recipe for the first time and it turned out great. I had it with crackers but will have it with ham tonight.
I read the reviews before preparing it. Added less methi seeds but added some pomegranate powder too.
Thanks Ashley!
Warm wishes for 2023!
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Mabel, that’s so great to hear! I’m glad you liked the chutney 🙂 Happy 2023!
Jay says
Made chocolate barfi in my 3 qt instant pot and worked out just fine. Within half an hour of spreading I put the tray in the freezer for half an hour. Cut it into pieces and stored in the freezer to be eaten after each dinner. Simple recipe as usual.

Jay, I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for letting me know how it turned out 🙂
ShanJay says

dee says
I but used cookbooks all the time – most are in perfect condition. However, when I want a recipe, I usually go to the internet. I make dinner from scratch every day and love making soups for lunch.
I miss the Indian restaurant located near my recent job location (Now retired) and am trying to make Indian recipes, so I was very happy to find your blog. Thanks.

Surati says
I’ve not seen black salt in my area, is there another salt I can sub ?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Surati, you can find black salt, also known as kala namak, online. What is the recipe you’re looking to make? Some recipes that call for this ingredient really rely on the flavor.

Ashley, I made your Kalakand recipe this week. One word…Amazing! I took some to work and it got rave reviews. I also gave some to my son’s girlfriend (she’s Indian) and she loved it as well. I love that it’s not over sweet and the cardamom really comes through. Thank you so much for sharing!
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Renee, that’s so great to hear! Thank you for letting me know how the kalakand turned out. Glad your co-workers and your son’s gf loved it! So nice of you to share with them 🙂
Philip Hicks says
Your site looks good. I’m looking for the type of wonderfully spicy (baked?) chicken livers we had at the Nepalese Embassy in London a few years ago. The ambassador said,”These will be too spicy for you.” My wife replied,”He will love them.” The chicken livers were outrageously good.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Philip! I have a chicken liver recipe if you want to give it a try! It’s not baked, but it is delicious: https://myheartbeets.com/spicy-chicken-liver-fry/

Normand Simard says
The shrimp roast is the most disgusting platter of food I have ever seen. I love Indian food and eat it regularly when I travel to India but I don’t have the stomach to make it. The shrimp roast might be good but it looks terrible.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
I’m surprised you love Indian food and are still making this comment.
Surati says
I would like to make the coconut barfi, but I do not have an instapot.
Majid says
Dear Ashley

You are kindly requested send me how can I make powder masala tea for example 1 kilo .
Jonathan says
Hi Ashley, I must have visited hundreds of recipe sites over the years and have always stubbornly refused to subscribe– your site is THE FIRST. I love what you’re doing here, and my wife and I love Indian cuisine. As the cook in our house, I have always wanted to learn how to make it but it’s always seemed so daunting! Thanks for sharing what you know so freely, and I think your WHY is why I subscribed. All the best to you and your family.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says

I lost a great recipe that was yours , I think. It had sweet potatoes, pomegranate molasses, walnuts, kale Chinese 5 spice powder and more , I think. Could you reprint it if you recognize this?

Nancy Harrison says
The question I was searching on Google was ARE Curry Leaves & Curry Seeds the same in Flavor? But it only seems to find Leaves to Powder.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Nancy, what do you mean by curry seeds? I’m not sure what that is. Do you mean coriander seeds?
Ravi Paul says
Ist time I made tea in the instant pot for my kitty party. It was quick and easy and everyone liked it. Thanks Ashley

Happy to hear that! 🙂
Vipin Kumar says
Hi Ashley,
Thank you so much for helping a novice like me to start cooking. You are awesome.
One quick question: If I want to make 2 cups or more rice then what is the ratio of water and cooking time?
Best regards,
Vipin
Linda says
Ashley HELP!!! I’m making One pot cauliflower dal and all I have is green (Desi) chana dal. Can I use it the same as other days or are they just for sprouting? Love your channel, by the way!
Apurva says
I absolutely love all these recipes, especially ones with onion masala, easy to make. It makes my life simple. Not too much prep
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Apurva! Great to know you like the onion masala recipes, will keep sharing them 🙂
alex says
I have loved your website and hadn’t used it for a while. I came back to it this week and have to say I’m disappointed to see how much advertising you have added. I know it generates revenue but it’s distracting enough that I find myself not using your site as much anymore.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Alex, glad to have you back – hope you stick around! I believe there’s a way to turn ads off on your end. I do need to keep them up on my site though as blogging is my full-time job. I appreciate the feedback though and will see if there’s anything my ad company can do to make them less distracting.
Toni Marie says
I made this today, made it more keto by dredging in Lupin flour, it was delicious. Thank you so much!
Mary says
I have been looking for this recipe for years! Thank you so much! I don’t have an instapot, so will do it the old fashioned way.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Glad you found my site! I’m unable to see what recipe you’re referring to but am curious – which recipe? I hope you love everything you make!
Ive says
I made this today and it was delicious. I had to rush to the in-laws and couldn’t simmer too much but it
was great. My husband says its better than my mom’s. I was in heaven. I’m from a family of Kerala cooks, thiruvalla and kottayam, so this was the biggest compliment. Thank you so much for the recipe.
Btw. Instant Pot is the best invention since sliced bread.
Thank God you also married a malayalee.. you incorporated these recipes in here.
You are the best Ashley!!
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
This comment made me smile – I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes! I see this on my subscription page and I’m so curious – what recipe did you make?
Jenn says
Amazing stuff! I’ve made several batches now, and go through the frozen pucks pretty quickly.
I’d like to share with a non-cooking friend in another state. Can your onion masala be hot water bath canned? I’m hoping that the tomato makes it acidic enough to do so.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Jenn! I’m so glad you like the masala 🙂 I haven’t tried canning the masala but don’t see why it’d be a problem.
Ann Marie says
Hi am happy to see how and why we all do this Recipe different , meaning good things.
I made this green mung dal today it was delicious I love all your spices that you use in making the M. G. Dal lm west indian and we cook dals just the way you do. we use a bit more of our spices, as we are the Isle of Spices thats Grenada. love the soups recipes they are very healthy thank you. you are doing a great job.
Take care for now. Annmarie.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says

M says
How do you rectify Indian Kaju katri if it becomes hard like rock and cracks It cooled as I got busy with other work and missed the time i made in with 1 lb cashews so cant even throw… please help thanks in advance.
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Oh man, you can always crumble it and add it to desserts – it’ll still be delicious, just not shaped quite as well. When it comes to sugar syrup, it helps to be very quick. Hope that helps!
Weston says
Hi Ashley,
Love your recipes! Your Instantpot saag recipe is excellent because you wisely don’t call for adding water. Most other recipes I’ve come across do and it winds up watery whereas yours comes out perfectly creamy. Can I put in a request for an Instantpot saag gosht recipe? Thanks!
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Weston! I think my chicken saag would work well with lamb – maybe add an additional minute to the cook time. If you try, let me know how it goes!
jackie rodgers says

Anna-Lee Rieb says
Hey! absolutely love your blog! we’ve been eating your meals two or three times a week! Thank you so much for putting all these awesome recipes out there. Flavour town!!!! 🙂 It’s so nice to have Indian recipes that are simple and easy to follow. I grew up on all Canadian food and never learned how to cook with these spices. I really appreciate what you’re putting out 🙂
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
That’s awesome! Love that you’re making my recipes so often – thank you for sharing!
Gaurav says
Can’t thank you enough Ashley! I’m not a great cook by any means — I’ve tried 3 instant pot recipes (Mango Cheesecake, Carrot Halwa and the latest Chocolate Cheesecake) and they’ve all been a big hit. My wife and friends absolutely LOVED them. Double thanks for eggless recipes 🙂
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Gaurav, I’m happy to hear that all of the recipes you’ve tried have been hits! Will continue to share more eggless recipes. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Jeri says
Thank You!

Thanks, Rosemary! So nice of you to say 🙂
Anna Vairavan says
Hello Ashley, Thanks for sharing your culinary skills. Your recipes and Facebook groups are inspirational. I try all your recipes. Your onion masala is my weekday time saver. I can’t imagine by days without this. As I was watching your dates roll video, thought of checking with you about your knife. It glides so smooth. Do you mind sharing what knife you use or you have recommendation for knife set. Will appreciate the same. Thanks so much for sharing.
My Heart Beets says
Anna, I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for the kind words 🙂 As for the knife in the video, I’m not sure as that belongs to my videographer, however, I recently bought a couple of Wüsthof knives and like them so far. My parents recently got some Cutco knives they bought from Costco and I actually think I like theirs better – so maybe look into that as well. Hope that helps!
Lorraine says
I LOVE your site and your recipes, Ashley. I was just looking for an Instant Pot mung dal recipe (easy and fab) and found your wonderful trove of recipes. I’ve spent enough time in India over the years to fall in love with the both the complexity and simplicity of the cuisine . I’m looking forward to trying more. Today, I’m going to make the pumpkin dal and the Paleo Roti. Excellent! I will be sharing your site with all my yoga pals!
My Heart Beets says
Lorraine, thank you! I’m sorry for the late reply but I’m so glad you found my site! Hope you loved the dal 🙂
Anuradha Amalendu Bhunia says
Hi Ashley, I want to try paleo roti or nan. But, my husband is diabetic so using 1/2 cup of tapioca starch is not good for him. Can I use raw banana flour instead along with coconut flour or flax seed meal?
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Anuradha, I’m sorry but I haven’t tried this using raw banana flour so I’m not sure. I’m also not very knowledgeable about diabetes so I’d hate to steer you in the wrong direction. If you experiment, please let us know how it goes.
Marion says
Your cookbook is fantastic! Cooked Aloo Gobi and one of the dals for dinner. Absolutely delicious.

Thank you! I’m so glad you’re liking the recipes 🙂
Deepa Bhatt says
Thanks everyone loved the carrot halwa
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Deepa, that’s so great to hear! Thank you for letting me know how it turned out 🙂
Nina says
Loved this recipe and I used canned corn and somehow nobody noticed!!! The blend of spices was excellent.
Thank you for sharing your culinary expertise.
My Heart Beets says
Nina, happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Renita Sathasivam says
Hi Ashley,
Thanks to your nomato onion masala recipe, I am able to deliciously incorporate more beetroot into my diet and my son whom we recently discovered, is allergic to tomatoes and cinnamon, gets to enjoy things like chicken curry and dal again. I’ve even used it to make nomato spaghetti bolognese and got lots of praise for it. I am truly grateful.
My Heart Beets says
Renita, I’m so glad you’re finding the nomato masala useful – I’m so glad it’s helpful for your son! Thank you so much for sharing this with me 🙂
Tushar says
Hi Ashley,
Thanks you for creating this site, you have finally made it easy to cook indian food. Yesterday was the first time I made Onion Masala and that made it so easy to cook other dishes you have it on the website.
Keep up the good work!
Tushar
My Heart Beets says
Tushar, thank you so much for the kind words 🙂 I really appreciate that!
Ashima Sharma says
Thank you so much for putting so many g free and dairy free recipes! You opened a world of options for me. I absolutely love your recipes. Just the fact that I can now eat gulab jamun again(been Celiac gor 8 years and haven’t had one since) makes me feel empowered :))
Keep up the great work!!!
My Heart Beets says
Ashima, thank you! I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying my recipes 🙂 Let me know what you think of the gulab jamun when you try it!
Marc Cleven says
Help! I am helping with a formal dinner for about 30 people, 12 or so of whom are vegetarians (and fairly open-minded eaters). I’m planning on using an Instant Pot, partly just because the food will stay hot. It’s Beef Bourguignon for the carnivores. Any suggestions on an “upscale” dish for the vegetarians? I haven’t figured out yet if it will need to be gluten-free, but that can’t hurt. I have your Indian Food Under Pressure with a lot of wonderful recipes. I don’t have South Asian Persuasion, but if that’s got the right recipe, I will happily try it. I have plenty of time to make any number of trial recipes before the big day. Thanks!
My Heart Beets says
Hi Marc, so sorry for the late reply – hopefully all went well if you already had the dinner party! Have you seen my Indian dinner menu blog post? If not, please check it out! As for really nice vegetarian dishes, try veggie korma or veggie biryani or egg biryani – all of those recipes are on my website 🙂
Dorothy L Brinckerhoff says
I’m new to Indian Cuisine and I never really “took” to my Instant Pot until quite recently. I made your Green Bean Thoran recipe two nights ago and I’m hooked. So delicious!
My Heart Beets says
Dorothy, I’m so happy to hear that you tried and liked the thoran 🙂 Thanks for letting me know how it turned out for you!
Deb G. says
Hi. I love Indian food, but so many Indian recipes have tomatoes as ingredients and I have a tomato allergy. Any suggestions for a substitution? Tomatillos are okay for me…similar texture and moisture content, but obviously different flavor. Help?
My Heart Beets says
I’ve been wanting to try a nightshade free onion masala blend using beets but haven’t gotten around to it yet – so for now I’d just choose recipes without tomatoes! I get asked about this a lot so I’ll work on compiling a list and will share it soon!
Heather says
Hi Ashley, I am so excited to have found you! I was gifted an Instant Pot and Urvashi Pitre’s cookbook a couple of years ago, and have been using her recipes for a while in my Instant Pot and have really enjoyed them. We are having friends for dinner this Saturday and they asked if I would be willing to let them cook with me since they love Indian food but have been nervous to make it. Although we love the cuisine, I have always been reluctant to have people eat with us when we do Indian, because I’m just not sure what entrees to pair with what sides. I did a google search for Indian dinner party menus and it lead me to you. Thank you so much for putting options together and making it a bit easier for me! This Saturday, I plan on serving your Lamb Rogan Josh with Matar Pulao, Aloo Gobi, and Naan. For dessert, we will have the Mango Cheesecake (just ordered the mango pulp). Does that sound like a good combination of wet and dry? I’d love to hear your feedback and will certainly let you know how it goes! Thanks!
My Heart Beets says
Heather, I’m so glad you found me and my dinner party menu post! I’m so sorry for the late reply but that menu sounds PERFECT! How did the dinner party go?!

I’ve recently acquired an Instant Pot and today made your Instant Pot Dal Makhani recipe for lunch. Deeelicious. Came out perfectly. Can’t wait to try your other recipes.
My Heart Beets says

Jen Friedman says
OMG 😮
Just got the Instant Pot, found your recipe for Butter Chicken. It was Ahhh-mazing and a huge crowd pleaser. Thank you!!!
My Heart Beets says
Jen, hooray! I’m so happy to hear that! 🙂
Sandra says
Hi Ashley,
I’m new to your recipes. I enjoyed reading your story. I want to make your chicken & wild rice for my granddaughter when she comes to visit this weekend from college. She is both gluten-free and dairy free (as well as allergic to soy). I was excited to see the chicken & wild rice recipe, however I don’t have a pressure cooker. How can I adapt your recipe so I can prepare this without a pressure cooker? Thank you for your help. You will be helping this Mimi (grandmother) score big points 😊
margaret says
hi ashley, i have been looking for a great indian food resource for awhile, and i think i just found it!– your advice is great, and so are the recipes- i have been trying to decide if i should buy a pressure cooker or an instapot? i visit india frequently and everyone there LOVES their pressure cookers- i wonder if you could weigh in on your preference and why??? i have just been using my old slow cookers and tho i turn out wonderful dishes with them, i wonder if i am missing something? thanks so much for your beautiful site and enthusiasm for the worlds best cuisine- i enjoyed seeing pictures of your lovely family and the spoiled dog too. and it was hard to say which wedding garb was most beautiful!
My Heart Beets says
Margaret, hooray!! I’m so glad you found my blog 🙂 I prefer electric pressure cookers and actually wrote a blog post about why I like them for Indian cooking if you want to check it out! I had an old school pressure cooker from India that I got for my wedding and gave it to my mom as soon as I got my IP. Now my mom only uses her IP too! Electric pressure cookers are like slow cookers in that there’s no need to babysit anything on the stove but it cooks food faster. It’s also much easier to clean than a slow cooker or a stovetop pressure cooker. I hope that helps!
Ann Marie says
Just found your site and really enjoyed reading your story and looking at all of your awesome recipes. I am new to Indian food, just tried it for the first time 1 year ago and can’t get enough of it. I’m trying to follow a low carb diet so I hope to be able to try a few of your recipes. Thank you!
My Heart Beets says
Ann Marie, I’m so glad you found my site! And I’m happy to hear that you’re new to Indian food and like it so much 🙂 I can’t wait to hear what you think of my recipes!
Joan Morris says
I bought your Asian Persuasian cookbook and downloaded it. Now it has disappeared. How do I retrieve it again, please?
My Heart Beets says
Hi Joan, just send me an email over at [email protected] and we will get it figured out for ya 🙂
Jamie says
I am SOOO excited to try out these recipes!! Just stumbled upon your site and this is what I have been looking for…for a long time!! Haven’t even made a dish yet but I so appreciate all that you are doing here!! 🙂
My Heart Beets says
Thanks so much Jamie! Can’t wait to hear what you think of the recipes you try! 🙂
Dana Ash says
Although I’m fairly adventurous with food, I must admit to being basically ignorant about Indian food. So I was a bit surprised when a friend gave me an article from our local newspaper about you and your “Indian Food Under Pressure” cookbook (I love my Instant Pot, too!). I had to research and mail order some of the spices, but have now tried all three recipes from the article and am newly in love. I’m looking forward to continuing my education about Indian food and spices, have signed up for your newsletter and will be purchasing the full cookbook! Thanks so much for broadening my horizons!
My Heart Beets says
Dana, I’m so happy to hear that!! Your comment just made my day 🙂 I hope you love all of the recipes in the cookbook!
Sandra Mazliah says
My sister bought me your book as a surprise for my new Instant Pot after I took her to her first Indian Restaurant, and she fell in love! I’m also trying to lose weight and I’m amazed how healthy so much of the cooking is being veggie and spice heavy. I’ve reduced some of the ghee and coconut milk and the recipes are still so delicious. My husband said this Saag was BETTER then the one we get at our local place, and the chicken biryani and butter chicken were “to die for”. I discovered your blog when I looked up “Garam Masala” and made yours fresh. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making one of my favorite cuisines so accessible and easy.
My Heart Beets says
Sandra, this makes me so happy to hear!! And wow, that is such a compliment! If you get a chance, would you mind leaving me a review on amazon? Thank you so much for letting me know how much you like my book 🙂
Leo says
Just got an Instant Pot and am looking for recipes to use with it. Found LOTS out there but so far, your web site has the best collection recipes that I’ve found! Keep up the good work.
My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Leo! 🙂
Lucy Karrys says
I love your recipes.I have been following you for a couple of years and appreciate the Paleo Indian recipes. Are you still in Pittsburgh ? I lived up there from 1950-1968 in Shadyside near Walnut street. After traveling for years, including one year in India, I moved back in ’75 for a few years . What a wonderful small City feel Pittsburgh has and it’s food culture and many different International cultures make it one of the best places to live. Thanks again for your great recipes ,Lucy .

Divya P. says
Hi Ashley,
My husband, John finally broke me down with the purchase of an InsantPot.I fought against for a an entire year because I just didn’t want another appliance, in addition to the others that we have🙄. I’ve been experimenting with the easy stuff( eggs, oatmeal…) and t decided it’s time to really see what this pot can really do. That’s when I started looking for Indian recipes. Your blog came up to when I searched for butter chicken recipes.What a surprise it was when I clicked on a FAQ and saw a picture of you and Roby! My in-laws were friends with Roby’s parents(same malyali circle) and John and I attended your beautiful wedding too. Congratulations on your new baby! He looks adorable!
Fantastic job on the blog too. I’ve made 3 dishes so far and they have all turned out great!
Say hi to Roby and for us:)
Divya
My Heart Beets says
Hi Divya, it’s so great to hear from you!! I’m happy you’re liking your Instant Pot and even happier that you’ve tried three of my recipes! Hopefully we will all get to meet again some time soon 🙂
Debbi Bohnet-Nuttall says
Hello Ashley – I’ve been infatuated with Indian vegetarian cooking and spices and the general way Indian culture respect the human body. So excited to see your beautiful blog.This weekend, a new Indian grocery shop opened in my neighborhood – and it’s the first of its kind in our town! I purchased some young okra from them and found your recipe, which I will use. I look forward to more yummy-ness to come.

hey !!
cool site and nice to navigate and love the option of printing the ingredients and method.
Please do more VEGAN main meals. “The world is changing” be ahead of it xx
My Heart Beets says
Thanks for the feedback, Joe! I will add that to my list!
Nydia says
Thanks for let me read all your information. I love your recepies
Tammy says
Ok. I found your site looking for a ground beef recipe. I don’t remember the name of it, but it is ground beef, potatoes, and carrots with meat Masada and various spices. I did most of the spices and the meat Masada (it smells absolutely awesome!) But had no curry leaves. I can’t afford them on amazon but I’m going to try to find them locally. I have no idea about Indian cuisine and the names of the dishes, but I’m excited about learning and trying some new recipes!
My Heart Beets says
Glad you found my website! I think you are talking about this recipe: http://myheartbeets.com/indian-ground-beef-coconut-curry/
Shari DeRuyter says
Can I substitute Rice Flour for Tapioca Flour with your pastry recipe?
jessie says
Hi Ashley how refreshing, so few ingredients and the end result so rewarding, will try your waffles and naan bread with spring onions like the Vietnamese spring onion pancake that of course uses wheat flour. This certainly sounds better. Love all your recipes. Jessie
My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Jessie! Glad you love my recipes 🙂
Karen says
Hi Ashley
I just bought your recipe book and drooled through every entry. I’m going to try the Naan recipe and probably make a lamb dish on the weekend.
Have a few questions –
1. I am gluten intolerant and also have to be careful about sugar. I note that you use coconut sugar which has a lower glycemic index but is still too sweet for me. What should I substitute and in what ratio?
2. Can the Naan’s and roti’s be frozen? I’d like to make a batch of them on the weekend when I have more time and then pop them out as needed. Any special way to defrost or warm them up?
3. The big thing I miss about eating Paleo is that I should forego my favorite comfort food in the world — dahl. Do you have any lentil-free dahl?
Thanks, Karen
My Heart Beets says
Hi Karen! You can definitely freeze the naan, just thaw it out and re-heat it in an oven or on a skillet. I don’t have a paleo daal recipe but I highly suggest that you try my mulligatawny soup – I think you will love it! And, I’m not sure what recipe you’re asking about to sub coconut sugar? Please let me know what you think of the recipes!! 🙂
Pongodhall says
Seems like the naan bread has got us all then!
I cannot believe how easy, how quick and versatile it is!
Joined immediately and looking forward to more things like this. I am not paleo but carefully gf, yeast and egg free so it is hard to get real food and things that I am happy to eat and share.
Even waffle and I had a little machine (yes, gadget mad too) bought for me, lies unused. I think it needs something to get me into it. I love my little cake machine too (any recipes for that are very welcome please)
I am not a cook but the 3 ingredient or so really is perfect for me and nothing to put aside promising myself I will get round to it.
My Heart Beets says
Thanks for subscribing 🙂 Glad you like the blog!
Susie says
Hello Ash…..I just lucked onto your blog and am SO excited by your Indian Paleo recipes! I have been truly missing some of the old flour faves and now you have introduced some delish alternatives….THANK YOU!!
My Heart Beets says
Susie, so glad you found my blog! I have a lot more Indian paleo recipes coming soon!! 🙂
j says
I am so madly in love with your site! I have been paleo for almost a year now and, though I love roasts and salads, I was so excited to see your recipes to try something new! This is an awesome resource for those of us who want to cook outside of the realm of typical American/Euro fare while following the parameters of Paleo. Thank you and keep up the great work!
My Heart Beets says
Thank you!! Glad to have you as a reader! Hope you’ll let me know how my recipes turn out for you 🙂
Dollie Cardwell says
Have not tried making this yet but am going out to get ingredients. Cannot eat gluten and love, I’m so happy I found this receipe
Chris says
Hi Ashley!
So stoked about your site! I went paleo a while ago and with a Kenyan upbringing it was hard finding food I liked. Kenyan food is HIGHLY grain based and starchy but with alot of Indian influences so when I saw paleo Indian style? Imagine my joy! I cannot wait to try your paleo naan since I still have a love affair with chapati so a healthier option will be amazeballs.
I have subscribed and look forward to all that you have to offer. Seriously thank you for this and I wish you all the best in everything else you do 🙂
My Heart Beets says
Hi Chris! That’s awesome – so glad you found my website! I’ve actually been working on a Kenyan goat curry – hopefully I’ll have that up sometime this fall/winter. Glad to have you here! 🙂
Mary says
I can not express how excited I am to have found your site!!! I am looking at these recipes and actually saying, “I can do that!”
Thank you for putting this out there. I am excited to make dozens of your recipes already.
My Heart Beets says
Mary, I’m glad you found it too!! Let me know how the recipes turn out for you 🙂
Jen says
This site is fantastic! My husband and I did away with gluten, grains, legumes and dairy at the beginning of the year (your tummy trouble story sounds so much like my own!). I’ll admit we were pretty bummed out by the diet for a number of weeks. But your butter chicken recipe was a game changer! We both LOVE Indian food and your recipes are so great to follow. Have you thought of publishing a cookbook? I would totally buy it! Thanks so much!
My Heart Beets says
Thanks, Jen! Your comment just made my day! Hopefully a cookbook is in my future but let’s see 🙂 Hope you’ll let me know how any other recipes turn out for you!
Donna says
Just starting so I need all the help I can get! The Buffalo Crispy Chicken Salad caught my eye first! And the apple turnovers! Thank you for this site!
Rebecca Clark says
Hi! Thank you for coconut oil contest! I really want to try it, and half the recipes that I’ve seen on here! Lol!
Samantha says
So many great recipes….I can’t wait to try them all…we just started Paleo.
Dawn says
Can’t wait to try your naan bread recipe. I am gluten/dairy free and it’s hard to find a tasty bread recipe. Going shopping tonight to buy the ingredients…….excited!!!! So many ideas 🙂
Sue Joy says
Loving your naan bread recipe, I made curry pasties with the smaller crepe style and cooked only one side this week and made a curry beef mince filling with vegetables. I went to a Mexican night this week and I took the naan bread to eat with Mexican dinner.
Deborah Pihota says
I already love your site from first glance!
