Spicy South Indian Potato Curry

On those days you want something warm, comforting and vegan/ vegetarian. Nothing beats the flavors of this simple South Indian homemade potato curry made with my Grandma’s “secret” homemade Andhra curry powder and other spices ! Adding egg to it is optional. However, I just love how well it melds all the flavors together and takes the edge off of spicy 🌶 heat.

Pair it with Naan, chapatis or rice . Enjoy eating this very special homemade dish ! 😋.

This curry holds some very special memories for me of my very first exposure to the western world when I was in India.

Delicious Vegan Baingan Bhartha (Mashed Eggplant)

Baingan Bhartha (mashed eggplant) pronounced bane-gun baar-tuh is generally associated with North Indian food. It is usually prepared by roasting a whole Baingain (eggplant) with skin and stem intact over an open fire or charcoal imparting a delicious smoky flavor. The eggplant is then cooled, skin is peeled off and stem cut off. The eggplant is then mashed and roasted with spices. It’s vegan, gluten-free and absolutely delicious!

I grew up eating this yummy dish with lamb in India. When I came to the U.S. I switched to beef as it was much easier to find. You can also eat it with potatoes for a vegan dish.

Crispy Fried Okra

A few years ago, we went on vacation to London. We ate at a lovely restaurant called Dishoom. I tasted fried okra there after much coaxing since I just do not have a fondness for vegetables. One taste and I was popping those crispy fried okra like candy, savoring the delicious burst of flavor.

Wonderful company!!

I read about this company in my local paper and was super excited to order some of the spice kits for my daughter’s birthday. She LOVES Indian food and makes it occasionally, but because the spice preparation can be daunting and ordering spices online can result in pounds of something you may not use in your lifetime, my daughter did not make her own very often. What a brilliant idea to sell spice packets for those of us who don’t want to buy a ton of exotic spices but want to cook our own Indian food! Oh - and the gift decoration was gorgeous. Very personal service. Highly recommend!

Hi Barbara,
Thank you SO much for your thoughtful and AWESOME review ! The reason I started this company was to make it easier to cook Indian food. I'm thrilled in particular that you are enjoying our unique home cooking in your home. I'm so glad you, your daughter and family loved our gift decorations. It truly was made with love from our family to yours. :-). Thanks again. Wishing you all the best. Cheers ~ Priya

Butter Chicken

Just arrived back home in PGH from a 10 year retirement vacation in Sarasota, Fl. Tandoor was our go-to Indian restaurant in Sarasota and Butter Chicken was our favorite dish. Tonight we made Anar's Butter Chicken Seasoning Kit and it is phenomenal! Follow the receipe and tone down the spice and you'll be in for a real treat!

Hi Marlene,
OMG! Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review. I am absolutely thrilled you enjoyed the meal with our butter chicken seasoning kit. What a treat for us to hear about your delicious experience.

Thanks for the prompt delivery of the item.
I read about you in a local paper in Pittsburgh. What intrigued me was the name. One of my best friends in Scotland has his last name, Narsapur.
He was happy and said “finally they have discovered what good taste is”.
Good luck in your venture.

Hi Nair,
I'm absolutely thrilled we were able to meet your expectations for delivery and that you loved our Indian Seasoning kits. I love how you connected the article about our company to your best friend Narsapur in Scotland. That is so cool! It IS a small wonderful world. I may be biased but I tend to agree with him that good taste does come from Narsapur. :-) Thank you for your wonderful review, kind wishes and sharing this fun and entertaining story.
Best wishes to you and your from Priya and the Anar Gourmet Foods family.
