Inspired Indian Cooking

I have taken cooking classes and tried different spice packets to learn how to make chana masala at home. Until I received a gift of Inspired Indian Cooking packets, my efforts usually required a lot of work with a bland end result. Kalpana’s kits are full of fresh flavorful spices and she’s come up with workarounds to make the preparation easy - even for a novice in the kitchen. The chana masala and butter chicken are my favorite kits but every one I’ve tried has been quick, easy and delicious.

I can’t say enough about this company, I’ve been following them since the pandemic, and are thrilled that they now have their own storefront! We are vegetarians and Kalpana, the owner, has extended great advice in using all the spice kits to work for us and they are each delicious! All recipes are so easy to follow and I guarantee your home will smell amazing! We particularly enjoy the butter chicken but with tofu:). LOVE INSPIRED INDIAN COOKING - do yourself a favor and order from them!

DE-LIC-IOUS. I have never had the courage to make saag paneer before this, but the kit was super easy!! Common sense instructions, fresh and delicious spices, and OMG…my vegetarian kid was so very happy. Way easier to buy this kit than to pick up all the millions of little spices we would need to make this dish, and such an easy way to experiment with a brand new dish.

Run.Don’t walk to Inspired Indian Cuisine! You will be so happy that you did. The spice kits make you feel like you are a family member in Kalpana’s kitchen…and the entrees that you will make will leave you impressed and full! And you can buy online (and do that lots) but visit the store too because it will further inspire you and provide cultural context to the delights in store.

As a Brit in Evanston, I can highly recommend Inspired Indian, their Butter Chicken spice kit is fabulous, so delicious and easy it make, I have also tried the Kheema spice kit and love this, it is so tasty and is a great easy and fast Indian meal to make, very delicious. My absolute favorite is their top notch Biryani Banquet spice kit, the biryani is the best, most delicious Biryani I have had in a very long time, I would highly recommend you take the zoom class too, it was so good. For an authentic Indian meal, Inspired Indian has everything you need you won’t be disappointed
