      I love this list! I've been missing authentic Indian food for weeks now. Our government closed all restaurants (can you imagine!) so everyone has to cook for themselves. Will definitely be adding some of these recipes to the list of things to try. Pinned! Stay safe!

      Thank you for this post! Now where can someone in very rural U.S. mail-order some of the ingredients?

        You can find most of the ingredients online, esp Amazon! I usually add affiliate links in the recipe. Most Indian spices can last years if properly stored.
