5 Yummy Indian Side Dishes

Indian food is diverse and varies from culture or area to area, but one theme which runs true through all Indian cuisine is the aromatic spices combined to produce highly flavoured, mouthwatering dishes.

Here are five side dishes, which also work well as light meals, snacks or appetizers.

Rishi Potatoes

Rishi Potatoes are quick and easy and use potatoes and capsicum (peppers) as the base.  The vegetables are then seasoned with tumeric, cumin, and chilli is added to give the dish a real spicy kick.  The recipe can be found here:

Crispy Samosas

Samosas are a firm favourite in Indian and Mauritian based cultures.  The plump potatoes and peas are seasoned with spices then wrapped in pastry and cooked so the outside of the pastry is crispy while the vegetable filling is tender.  They are one of my favourite foods.  The recipe can be found here:

Eggplant in Mustard Seed Batter

The mustard seed used in this dish complements the eggplant perfectly, while the batter provides a wonderful way to serve the vegetable.  The recipe can be found here:

Basic Indian Potatoes

Easy and delicious, the lemon juice in this recipe takes some of the bite out of the potatoes while still providing a wonderful aroma and taste through the vegetables.  The recipe can be found here:

Spiced Cauliflower with Peas

While this dish can be served as a side, it's also filling enough to serve as a main meal.  The combination of tender, spiced cauliflower and plump peas is perfect.  The recipe can be found here:
