15 Gluten-Free Indian Recipes

Finding gluten-free dishes in Indian cuisine is actually incredibly easy. The majority of recipes have a meat, legume, or vegetable base, and are commonly thickened with the addition of ground pulses instead of flour or other gluten products. Sides are often comprised of rice, chutneys, and pickles, most of which will also be naturally gluten-free. You can even find some flatbreads that are compliant, like pesarattu or akki rotti, and created by blending lentils and rice. Click through to see all the creative ways you can eat Indian while avoiding gluten.
