Instant Indian – My New Instant Pot Cookbook
[image error]Well, I figured it was time to make it “blog official” – I have new cookbook coming out in October! If you’ve been reading over the past year or so, it should come as no surprise that my third book combines my love of the Instant Pot and healthy, practical Indian cooking. So here is a first look at Instant Indian: Classic foods from every region of India made easy in the Instant Pot ®! This is the first authorized Instant Pot cookbook to explore the regional diversity of Indian cuisine.
Instant Indian will be published on October 2nd, 2018 by Hippocrene Books. You can preorder it now on Amazon.com. This collection of 100 recipes includes numerous vegetarian and vegan options, and nearly all are gluten-free. There is a traditional naan recipe because—apologies to the gluten-intolerant—there’s nothing like fresh naan to dip into your dal, or sop up the last bits of rich sauce clinging to the bowl. The naan gets proofed beautifully in less than one hour in the instant pot!
It has been a dream of mine to write a book showcasing the cultural diversity of Indian cooking, but I wanted to keep it easy and accessible for everyone. Thanks to the Instant Pot, I have been able to do just that.
You’ll find recipes for takeout favorites such as butter chicken and aloo gobi alongside Spaghetti Squash Poriyal and Tamatar Masala Anda (India’s take on Shakshouka). The best part of adapting my go-to recipes is that I didn’t have to compromise on taste or healthfulness, as the pressure cooker retains complex flavors and allows you to use less oil.
Homey dishes like this Bengali Kichuri takes less than 20 minutes of cooking time.

The pressure cooker has long been a part of the Indian kitchen, as the perfect tool to get creamy dals and mouth-wateringly tender meat, while reducing cooking time and energy use. My grandmother’s pressure cooker lasted for 30 years, and later I was given one as a wedding gift and incorporated it into my routine. If you haven’t tried an electric pressure cooker, you’ll be delighted with the automatic cooking and shutting down— no more babysitting! Plus the multi-function Instant Pot also opens up possibilities like raita with homemade yogurt or perfectly steamed idli.
I’ll be giving a first look to members of my IP Facebook group, so be sure to join so you don’t miss out! I’ll be sharing more about the book, including giveaways, closer to publication so be sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram to get the latest news.
