This is a collection of vegetarian Indian dishes. The book begins with an explanation of the ingredients, techniques and characteristics of this cuisine, and a description of every classic blend of curry in the Indian tradition. The book then present over 200 recipes in India's repertoire of vegetarian and grain dishes, for example, Malabar coconut and yoghurt braised vegetables, Madras fiery aubergine, lentil and chilli stew, or Coorg-style hot and garlicky black beans with lotus root. To accompany these dishes, the author provides recipes for chutneys, pickles, breads, rice dishes, dals, side dishes, yoghurt salads and condiments. The book also provides recipes for snacks such as fritters, kaftas, kababs, plantain chips and lentil wafers.
I can't recommend this book enough. After the couple of recipes I cooked from it, I decided to try to cook everything in it. So far I have not been disappointed once, and still have a load of meals to get through. There are lovely descriptions of the history of each meal at the start as well. Such an excellent cookbook
