I love authentic Indian curry recipes! I remember my mum cooking the most amazing Indian curries when I was a child, and now I enjoy making them for my own daughter.

As I searched for some quick and easy Indian curry recipes that I could make for my family, I found so many fantastic ideas. I decided to create a list that I can refer to in the future and also share with you.

Mamta Gupta’s Keema Meatball Curry via Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary is an amazing take on meatballs that adds flavour and spice to a lovely family meal. This can be cooked on the stove top or in an Instant Pot using this Instant pot conversion chart!

    I’m no a huge fan of curry if it’s too hot. I know there are lots of interesting recipes, but if it’s too spicy, it just kills it for me.
