    Tired of the same old dinner rotation? These Indian vegetarian recipes are anything but boring. We’re talking bold spices, comforting curries, fluffy naan, and cozy dals that hit just right after a long day. Whether you’re feeding the family or just yourself, these dishes are easy to make, satisfying, and seriously full of flavor.

    Chana Masala or Chickpea Curry

    This one is a classic for a reason. Tender chickpeas simmered in a rich, spiced tomato gravy—serve it with rice or roti, and you have got comfort in a bowl.
