We all tend to get lazy during winter and avoid cooking difficult dishes. But we cannot deny the importance of eating healthy food. There are so many Indian dishes that you can cook during the winter season that are warm and actually taste better with time. This means that these dishes are free from any kind of preservatives but still can be reused for multiple days without going bad. All you have to do is cook these dishes and then reheat them to consume again and again. Here are some Indian dishes that you can cook during winter that will taste delicious even if you do not eat them fresh.
* Kadhi
Kadhi is a special Indian curry that is made by using yoghurt or buttermilk along with chickpea flour. This is a blend of special spices like methi powder, garam masala, chilli powder, and many more. It has a very deep and complex taste and tastes the best with some fresh rice. It is a very comforting dish especially when it is served with fresh rice. This Indian dish tastes even better if you give it some time to mature.
* Rajma Masala
Rajma Masala is a very famous north Indian dish that is made out of red kidney beans in a thick gravy that is primarily made out of tomatoes and onions.
