Thank you! I’ve wanted to try Indian food but didn’t know where to begin.
One of the most satisfying ways to start is with some of the quick flatbreads, and sauce or chutney - a warm chapati with a raita sauce is simple and divine:

And if you ever get to an Indian grocery store, you can buy packages of “Papadum” - really thin discs made of black lentil flour that seem like rice paper; and when you toss one into hot fat, it puffs up into a delightful cracker-like bread.
