Here are some of the best one-pot Indian recipes that you must try on your cooktop.

Khichdi


Khichdi is a staple Indian dish that is known for its light profile, nutrition, and ease of preparation. If you feel uneasy or just need something light but flavourful, you can make yourself authentic Indian khichdi with rice, moong dal (lentils), ghee, and a mix of spices. Within 15-20 minutes of simmering on Glen’s infrared cooktop.

Chana Masala

Chana masala is a classic Punjabi dish that is made with soaked chickpeas. All you need to do is prepare a savoury masala with chopped onions, tomatoes, ginger garlic paste, and spices like cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chilli powder, and garam masala. Once the masala is fragrant, you can add the soaked chickpeas and let it simmer till the chickpeas absorb all the flavours. You can then serve it with freshly prepared roti or rice.

Pulao

Pulao is a vegetarian’s go-to comfort food that can be made within half an hour. To make this one-pot Indian dish, you can rinse and soak rice. In the meantime, you can saute onions with cumin seeds and your favourite spices. Then, you can add vegetables like peas, carrots, cauliflower, etc, along with the soaked rice and water. In about fifteen minutes, your pulao will be ready to savour.

Paneer Butter Masala

Paneer butter masala is another comfort food for many Indians. With the help of Glen’s cooktop, you can make the one-pot dish even faster by preparing a masala with a mix of spices, chopped onions, and tomato puree. Then add paneer cubes, butter or cream in the pot and stir well. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves, and your aromatic one-pot dish will be ready to enjoy.

Rajma

Rajma is not just a dish. It is a feeling that automatically makes you remember “home”. To have a comforting feel, you can make rajma at home with soaked kidney beans and gravy made with pureed tomatoes and onions, spices like salt, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and garam masala. Once the gravy is ready, you can toss in soaked rajma and let it simmer till your kitchen is filled with aroma. You can then relish it with rice, roti, or naan.
