Klappentext

A collection of inviting Indian recipes to cook at home, including street food and snacks, curries and rice, and the all-important chutneys and raitas, as well as lightly spiced desserts.

Magical spice powders, sizzling dried whole spices, noisy popping saucepans, aromatic smells, colourful foods... this is what sums up great home-cooked Indian food. In this book, Nitisha walks you through a myriad of spices to understand how each one adds flavour, as well as how they complement each other for different dishes. The excitement, freshness and snack-friendly appeal of street food leads to an explosive mixture of flavours in recipes for Fish Pakoras, Smokin' Fiery Chicken Wings, Deep-fried Spiced Potato, Samosa Chaat and Dhokla Muffins. The beauty of curry is that nothing defines what makes a good curry - recipes vary meaning that the possibilities are endless. Nitisha's recipes for curry include Keralan King Prawn Curry, Uncle Rambo's Goat Curry, Paneer Kadhai and Gosht Aloo Saag Masala. Celebratory dishes are also here, with Masala Grilled Lobster, Tandoori Spatchcock Poussin and Hariyali Salmon. While vegetarian dishes are great as sides and main meals: try a variety of dhals, Channa Masala and Pili Pili Chips. And if all that wasn't feast enough, finish up with some sweet treats, such as Pistachio and Rose Water Ice Cream and Mango and Mint Kulfi.
