Combine all the chicken tikka ingredients and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Skewer the marinated chicken pieces on bamboo skewers, then place them over a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure there is space underneath the chicken to help distribute the heat more evenly.

Reserve the chicken tikka marinade for later use.

Bake the chicken skewers for about 15 minutes, until slightly dark brown on the edges and cooked throughout.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat, then sauté the onions with the herbs and spices until just browned.

Add in the chopped tomatoes and fry till soft.

Pour in the yogurt, water, and reserved tikka marinade, and mix it well with the vegetables and spices.

Bring the mixture to a boil, add in the chicken and cook for a further 4-5 minutes. Set aside.

In a large pot, assemble your biryani in the following layers: ⅓ rice, ½ chicken curry, ½ caramelised onion, ½ coriander, ⅓ rice, oil, ½ of the saffron-infused water, ½ chicken curry, ⅓ rice, the rest of the saffron-infused water, ½ caramelised onion, and finally top with the remaining coriander.

Simmer the biryani over a low heat for 10 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the rice and chicken are heated throughout.

This chungdi malai recipe is from Maneet Chauhan’s new cookbook ‘Chaat.’ “Coconut milk and shrimp are natural dancing partners...laced with a tapestry of spices.”

Chungdi Malai (Coconut Shrimp Curry)

lb. medium shrimp (about 24), peeled, deveined

bay leaves

cinnamon sticks,

tsp. garam masala

cardamom

Kosher salt

mustard oil*

yellow onion, finely chopped

Tbsp. finely chopped ginger

cumin

Kashmiri

sugar

Tbsp. plain whole-milk yogurt

Tbsp. ghee

cilantro, cooked basmati rice, and lime wedges (for serving)

“Chungdi malai is one of the most coveted dishes of Puri (a city in eastern India),” chef Maneet Chauhan writes in her new cookbook Chaat. “It showcases the elegant flavors that are the trademark of the regional Oriya cuisine. Coconut milk and shrimp are natural dancing partners, rounded out with the earthy note of ghee laced with a tapestry of spices. The shrimp should be marinated for about 1 hour to infuse them with flavor, but otherwise this dish comes together quickly, making it an ideal family meal on a weekday that calls for something special.
It was in Puri where I tried my first shrimp, which my father had bought from one of the train vendors. They were covered in a fiery red chile sauce that I didn’t realize also contained large chunks of pineapple, which when covered in sauce closely resembled the shape and size of the shrimp. I took a bite of what I thought was shrimp but was actually pineapple and exclaimed to my dad, ‘Shrimp tastes just like pineapple!’ The incident still makes him laugh, and whenever he visits one of my restaurants in Nashville, I inevitably hear him tell this story at least once to a tableful of customers. Pineapple is not a traditional ingredient in chungdi malai, but sometimes I add it, especially when preparing it for my father, because it always gets a laugh out of him. If you’d like to include pineapple, add 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh or canned pineapple when you add the coconut milk.”

Toss shrimp, bay leaves, cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, garam masala, and cardamom in a large bowl until shrimp are well coated; season with salt. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and chill 1 hour. Remove and discard bay leaves, cinnamon, and cloves.

Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high. Add onion, ginger, cumin, red pepper powder, and sugar and cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add coconut milk and yogurt and whisk until smooth, then add shrimp and ghee and simmer, turning shrimp halfway through, until shrimp are cooked through, 7–8 minutes. Taste and season with salt.

Top with cilantro and serve with rice and lime wedges.

*Most mustard oils are not FDA-approved as edible in the United States due to their high erucic acid content. If you are concerned, look for Yandilla, an FDA-approved brand, online, or use olive oil instead.

This five-ingredient sweet is Priya Krishna’s all-time favorite, and it’s as good for a Wednesday-afternoon snack (keep some in your freezer!) as it is for a Diwali celebration.

Kaju Katli

raw cashews

¼ tsp. freshly ground cardamom

Varak (edible silver leaf; optional)

candy thermometer

This five-ingredient sweet is Priya Krishna’s all-time favorite, and it’s as good for a Wednesday-afternoon snack (keep some in your freezer!) as it is for a Diwali celebration. Priya first made kaju katli, also called kaju ki barfi, this spring, after finding silver leaf her mother brought to the U.S. from India in the ’80s. Then she read countless blogs in an attempt to perfect the recipe. The one she found most helpful was Cook With Manali; this version is inspired by Manali Singh’s recipe. Silver leaf, or varak, is usually available as thinly pressed sheets and can be purchased online ($10 for 10 sheets; amazon.com). Just make sure it’s specifically labeled as edible. You can also try swapping the cashews (that’s kaju in Hindi and Urdu) in this recipe for pistachios or almonds.

Place 2 large pieces of parchment (at least 12" long) on a work surface. Pulse cashews in a food processor or coffee grinder to a fine powder. Set a mesh sieve over a medium bowl and sift cashew powder into bowl. Return any larger pieces still in sieve to processor and pulse again to break up further (but be careful not to turn into nut butter). Sift into bowl; set cashew powder aside.

Heat sugar and ¼ cup water in a medium saucepan over medium, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved; stir in cardamom. Clip thermometer to side of pan and bring mixture to a boil (still over medium). Cook, stirring often, until thermometer registers 230°–235° (mixture should be syrupy but not thick), about 3 minutes.

Reduce heat to low. Stir in ghee and reserved cashew powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until dough begins to pull away from sides of pan and form a mass in the center, about 3 minutes. Be careful, as the sugar will make the dough very, very hot. (You can check if the dough is ready by carefully scooping out a small spoonful and letting it cool until safe to touch. If you can roll it into a ball and it holds its shape, it’s ready.)

Transfer dough to 1 sheet of parchment. Let cool until safe to handle (dough will stay hot in the center, so be very careful). Knead warm dough 1 minute, then top with the remaining sheet of parchment. Roll out to create an oval about ½" thick. Peel away top layer of parchment and carefully apply silver leaf (if using) to surface. Using a paring knife and a ruler, cut dough into 1"-wide strips. Then make diagonal cuts at 1" intervals across the strips to create diamond shapes. Separate out individual kaju katli. (Save scraps for snacking on later.)

Do ahead: Kaju katli can be made 1 month ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.

tbsp garam masala

tbsp ginger (minced)

garlic (minced)

vegetable oil

onion

oz fire roasted tomatoes (or regular diced tomatoes)

tomato sauce (or passata)

salt (or

butter

Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. (See your manufacturer's guide for detailed instructions on how to use your instant pot.)

Add the vegetable oil, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, garam masala, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onion softens.&nbsp;

Close the lid (follow the manufacturer's guide for instructions on how to close the instant pot lid). Set the Instant Pot to the Poultry setting and set the timer to 5 minutes.

This Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala is one hundred percent made from scratch, super flavorful, tender chicken, delicious curry and always a family favorite!

Chhaunk, the addictively crunchy fried herb-and-spice mixture on these tangy yogurt sandwiches, also makes a fantastic topping for grilled steak or nachos.

Dahi Toast

¼ cup plus 6 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil

black mustard seeds

½ medium red onion, finely chopped

Indian green chiles

plain low-fat Greek yogurt

cilantro

½ tsp. black pepper

sourdough bread

Chutney

What makes these tangy yogurt sandwiches so addictive is chhaunk, a crunchy fried herb-and-spice mixture that also makes a fantastic topping for grilled steak or nachos. Watch Priya Krishna, who developed this recipe, make dahi toast here.

Heat ¼ cup oil in a small saucepan over low heat until just warm. Add mustard seeds and cook until they start to pop and sputter, which should be a matter of seconds. Quickly remove pan from heat, add curry leaves, and toss to coat—they should crisp immediately from the residual heat. Set spiced oil aside.

Mix together onion, green chiles, yogurt, cilantro, black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl; season with salt. Spread yogurt mixture over 6 slices of bread and top with remaining slices to make 6 sandwiches.

Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Reduce heat to low and cook 2 sandwiches until undersides are crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn, add another 1 tsp. olive oil to skillet, and cook until the second side is crisp and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer sandwiches to a platter or plates; repeat with remaining sandwiches and 4 tsp. oil.

Drizzle reserved spiced oil evenly over sandwiches. Cut in half and serve with chutney and/or ketchup alongside if desired.

Do Ahead: Yogurt filling can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Umami-charged asafetida is well worth seeking out at an Indian grocer or online—just a pinch of this pungent powder makes all the other spices come alive. Feta and spinach is an iconic combination, but mozzarella or even tofu cubes are also great here.

Saag Paneer

¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp. ghee or extra-virgin olive oil

onion,

garlic clove, finely chopped

1½" piece ginger, peeled, chopped

baby spinach (about 12 cups)

Indian green chile

lime juice

feta,

asafetida (optional)

Roti or rice (for serving)

This riff on the classic dish swaps paneer out for salty chunks of feta. And while feta and spinach is an iconic combination, mozzarella or even tofu cubes are also great here. Do seek out the umami-charged asafetida at an Indian grocer or online—just a pinch of this pungent powder makes all the other spices come alive.

Heat ¼ cup ghee in a large skillet over medium. Cook coriander seeds and cardamom, stirring constantly, until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add spinach by the handful, letting it wilt slightly after each addition before adding more. Cook until all of the spinach is just wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add chile and lime juice; season with salt. Let cool 5 minutes.

Transfer spinach mixture to a blender (reserve skillet) and blend until a coarse paste forms, about 1 minute. Return spinach mixture to pan and set over low heat. Stir in ½ cup water, then gently fold in feta, being careful not to break up. Cook until feta is slightly softened and has absorbed some of the sauce, 5–7 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. ghee in a small saucepan over medium-high, 1 minute. Add cumin seeds. As soon as cumin seeds start to pop, sputter, and brown, remove from heat, 1 minute tops. Immediately add asafetida, if using, and chili powder. Pour ghee mixture over spinach mixture. Serve with roti or rice.

Do Ahead: Spinach mixture (without spiced ghee mixture) can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

tomato puree (or passata)

tomato paste

tbsp smoked paprika

lbs chicken thighs

whipping cream

tbsp parsley (chopped)

Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting.&nbsp;(See your manufacturer's guide for detailed instructions on how to use your instant pot.)

Add the butter and cook until the butter has melted. Add the garlic and ginger and saute for another minute or until the garlic becomes aromatic. Do not cook too long because you don't want to burn it.

Add the tomato puree and tomato paste to the Instant Pot and stir. Add the garam masala, coriander, cumin, paprika, turmeric and salt to the Instant Pot, stir and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.&nbsp;

Add the chicken thighs, water and stir everything together. There should be enough liquid in the pot to cover the chicken, so add more water if needed.

Switch the Instant Pot to the saute setting (do not put the lid on). Add the whipping cream and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and reduce a bit. You don't want it to reduce too much.&nbsp;

Turn off the Instant Pot and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm over rice and with naan.
