Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this thread offers a glimpse into the world of home-cooked Indian cuisine and whether it can truly rival the quality of a restaurant dish."
I've been ordering butter chicken from the same takeaway spot for years now. It's fine but it's like $18 every time and I'm starting to feel dumb about it. I can cook basic stuff but I've never really tried Indian food at home. Feels like it would need a ton of spices I don't have, or some technique I'd mess up. But maybe I'm overthinking it? For those of you who make it at home, is it actually close to restaurant quality or is it one of those things that's just better to order? submitted by /u/New-Candle-5635 [link] [comments]
