I love Indian food and am always looking for a fun recipe. I like trying to make foods that I didn't grow up eating at home because then my home cooking feels more exciting and it keeps me from spending on restaurants. I find that watching videos really helps me to understand better than reading recipes, especially for things like what texture should roti dough be. Most often I just search on YouTube for the dish I want to make and look at a couple recipes. Much of the Indian food available in the US is North Indian food (saag paneer, chana masala, chicken tikka masala, naan bread), but in my town we have a large South Indian community and their food is different but also very delicious (dosa, sambar, idli, most things are vegetarian and many of the S Indian restaurants are vegetarian only). Try some South Indian dishes if you are looking to explore more. I also love Indo-Chinese food, which is basically Chinese recipes adapted to Indian tastes (much like American Chinese food, which differs from traditional Chinese recipes). Also, there is a fun show on Netflix (American version at least) about Indian cuisine called Raja, Rasoi Aur Anya Kahaniyaan that will make you crazy hungry--my hubby refuses to watch because it's so appetizing!
