Indian recipes to start someone out on

I'm a white as you come white girl. I grew up on fried chicken and spaghetti.

Now I'm older and out on my own, I've been trying to extend my palette(?) and my cooking skills. I've been experimenting with vegetarian/vegan, gluten free, Mexican, chinese, expanding my knowledge of vegetables I've never tried like, eggplant, zuchini, brussel sprouts, bok choy etc.

I see lots of indian ingredients like tikka masala at aldis, i really want to try it but i tried butter chicken a few weeks ago and really didnt care for it. But i don't want to give up a whole food culture because i didn't like one recipe. So what would be some recipes i could try for someone just starting to experience indian food?
