4 Indian Fusion Food Dishes Sure to Please

We made the theme of Thanksgiving 2022 “Indian Fusion” and it turned out so much better than we expected so just had to share!!!

Tikka Masala Mac & Cheese

Tikka Masala Mac and Cheese Recipe | SideChef Minus the chicken breast and yogurt and plus extra of all the spices especially chili powder. This was the easiest to follow recipe that I could find and I had never made mac and cheese like this before, but it totally worked and was actually Ronak’s dad’s favorite dish!

Paneer Flatbread

Paneer Tikka Naan Pizza – Cook With Manali This was a pretty straightforward recipe with just marinading required in advance but OMG the flavors came out amazing. I switched up the sauces between flatbreads, using a bottled chutney/curry sauce from Aldi for some, marinara for others, and one I did without sauce and just the marinade. The marinara one was the best!

Chutney Vegetable Salad

Tandoori Veggie Quesadillas – The Chutney Life This was a nice healthy mix to the rest of the cheesy foods. I was inspired by this recipe for Tandoori quesadillas, but basically just took the veggies and Thecha chutney part and mixed it up, with the intense of adding the leftover to cheese and cream cheese the next day with tortillas to make the quesadillas, but there were no leftovers!

Instant Pot Gulab Jamun Cheesecake

Eggless Gulab Jamun Cheesecake – Carve Your Craving I searched so far and wide for an eggless Instant Pot gulab jamun cheesecake recipe after remembering the delicious one I tried in Atlanta. Thank you to my mother-in-law for providing the gulab jamuns because that would have been a whole separate ordeal and I didn’t want to buy them canned! Overall I’m very impressed with how the consistency and flavor turned out for my first time, it wasn’t perfect but it was very very good. I will say it was a pretty complicated process, but I’m happy I made it!
