## Description

Wholesome recipes, bold flavours and easy cheats to create a true taste of India in a modern kitchen
'20 Best New Cookbooks of 2018' Independent
'3 Comfort Food Cookbooks For Autumn' Huffpost UK
'Her style of simple yet delicious Indian recipes will take you on a journey through this extravagant cuisine' Dr Rupy Aujla Food writer Mallika Basu grew up enjoying exotic flavours from across India in an unconventional, bustling home in Kolkata - and then spent years recreating them in a London kitchen. Now she shares those recipes, techniques and shortcuts so you too can cook wholesome, real Indian food simply.
Embrace weekday dinners with lightly spiced fish curry, wok-friendly Goan chilli beef fry or silken kofta curry made with packs of ready-rolled meatballs. For leisurely weekends, tuck into a feast of Vindaloo pulled pork; give your Sunday roast a sumptuous twist with spicy marinades, or enjoy a whole roasted cauliflower encrusted with nut butter. And that's before you even think about swirling dosa and more for a full-on Indian brunch...
Mallika's recipes respect the past and celebrate the present in an easy and informal way that will broaden your understanding of Indian cooking, and inspire you to return to these simple recipes time and time again.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 November 2020*

Used this book for the last month as part of a cookbook book club, so I have explored several recipes. I have loved the flavours and the straightforward methods delivering some lovely dishes. The salmon curry (finished in the oven) I have made twice and is one of the best fish curries I have made. The roasting of a whole cauliflower in nutty curry sauce was a great dish with a bit of drama to being to the table, it looks wonderful.There are recipes for making snacks without the deep fat frying which I appreciate, I am not a fan of deep fat! Some great easy chutneys to go with them too.Sections on ingredients are helpful and alternatives for some more unusual ones are welcome.This weekend I am trying some of the sweet recipes, if they are as good as the savoury I will have a happy household.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Already planning an Indian feast...
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 31 May 2018*

What a wonderful book. Beautiful photgraphy. Really simple, easy to follow recipes. I've never really tried Indian cookery at home before because it has always seemed so complicated: hundreds of spices, lots of ingredients and so time-consuming! But I saw one of Mallika's recipes from this book in the Times last weekend and had to try it out. It was so easy and SO delicious that I just knew I had to get the book and it doesn't disappoint. Absolutely fantastic. I am already planning a feast for friends to show off my new mastery of indian home-cooking!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Have made some recipes & found very tasty
