What would you recommend to someone learning to cook Indian food?

These are my top ten dishes to learn:

1. Chai/tea (seriouseats has a great recipe)
2. Dal (toor dal with a pressure cooker)
3. Rice (in a pressure cooker).
4. Chicken curry (pressure cooker)
5. Fish fry (shallow fry, semolina coat is optional)
6. Chapati/Roti
7. Dosa/Idli/Uthappam (store bought batter)
8. Dal Khichdi
9. Coconut Rice
10. Raita (to eat with a biriyani or veg pulao)

If you can make these and are able to enjoy them, that's a great start.
