| Indian Cooking presents a collection of over 60 authentic and yet simple dishes from all regions of India, some of which are familiar and others that are inspirational.
Rich in herbs, spices and aroma, Indian cuisine is known not only for its taste, but also for its healing properties.
From the basic spice mixes so important to Indian cooking, to the crisp and light dosai from Southern India, to the creamy homemade ice cream called kulfi, the dishes within are superb on their own or when served in combination as a traditional thali-style meal. Accompaniments such as chappatis, parathas, yogurt-based raitas, pickles and chutneys perfectly complement the thali, and indeed any Indian meal.
This book, with its beautiful photographs and easy-to-follow recipes, explores the history and influences of Indian cuisine, demystifies traditional equipment and ingredients, and provides all the essentials required for fabulous home dining.
