How to Save Recipes on Tarla Dalal

Updated

Tarla Dalal's site includes a "Save Recipe" button on its recipe pages, so you can bookmark dishes you want to cook later. The site's own pages show this button repeated across recipe listings, and they also invite you to "Add Tarla Dalal Recipes as a preferred source on Google." What the site does not state in the available material is whether saving requires an account, or whether saved recipes sync across devices — so treat those as things to verify the first time you use the feature.

Saving a recipe on the site

The save action is attached to individual recipes rather than to a separate saved-items page you navigate to first.

  1. Open any recipe page — for example, one of the recently updated dishes such as Palak Kale and Apple Juice, Paneer Toast, or Sabudana Kheer.
  2. Look for the Save Recipe button near the recipe title or image.
  3. Click it. The site's listings show this button with a heart icon, which is the usual pattern for a toggle: clicking once saves, clicking again removes.
  4. To confirm it worked, check whether the button's state changes (for example, filled heart vs. outline) or whether a saved-recipes area appears in your account or navigation.

Expected result: the recipe is stored so you can return to it without searching again.

Common snag: if nothing appears to happen, the most likely cause is that saving is tied to a logged-in account. The available site material doesn't confirm this either way, so if a plain click does nothing, try signing in first and repeating the step.

Making saved recipes easier to find again

Two habits reduce the chance of losing a recipe you saved:

  • Save from the recipe page, not the listing. The button appears in listings too, but saving from the full page ensures you're capturing the version with complete ingredients and steps.
  • Use the Google preferred-source option. The site explicitly offers "Add Tarla Dalal Recipes as a preferred source on Google." This doesn't save individual recipes, but it makes Tarla Dalal content more likely to surface in your Google results, which helps when you remember a dish but not its exact name.

What you can save, and why it matters

The site's catalog is broad enough that saving is genuinely useful rather than a novelty. Categories shown on the site include:

Category type Example from the site Recipe count shown
Healthy collections Healthy Heart 521 recipes
Low Cholesterol Indian 423 recipes
Indian Pregnancy 481 recipes
Protein Rich Vegetarian Foods 131 recipes
Healthy Indian Salads 145 recipes
Festival/fasting Best Navratri Recipes for Fasting 8 recipes
Snacks Low Calorie Indian Snacks 100 recipes
No-cook Healthy Toss & Mix Salads (No cooking) 30 recipes
Cuisine Thai Vegetarian 98 recipes

Because collections like these overlap — a Navratri fasting recipe may also be low-calorie — saving individual recipes lets you build a personal shortlist instead of trying to remember which collection a dish came from.

Practical notes before you rely on it

  • Check whether saving needs an account. The site material provided doesn't specify login requirements for the Save Recipe function. Test it once while logged out; if it fails, log in and try again.
  • Don't assume cross-device sync. Nothing in the available material confirms that saved recipes follow you between phone and computer. If that matters to you, verify it before depending on it.
  • Saved recipes are not the same as downloaded ones. Saving bookmarks a recipe on the site; it doesn't necessarily give you an offline copy. If you want the recipe in the kitchen without a screen, copy the ingredients and method into your own notes.
  • Fasting and festival recipes are worth saving early. The Navratri collection shown is small (8 recipes), and seasonal collections like this tend to be the ones people search for at the last minute.

If your goal is simply to cook more from the site, saving a handful of recipes from the healthy and low-calorie collections — which together account for well over a thousand recipes — gives you a workable starting shortlist without needing to browse the full catalog each time.
