Product Information

Add the garlic, chilli and cashews, and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the tomatoes and pop the lid on. Add the coconut milk and 175ml of water, whisk until you have a smooth batter, then leave to one side. I accosted home cooks on social media who had innocently posted photos of their breakfast, to ask them more about what they ate and how they made it. The tomatoes create a wonderful sauce with the coconut milk; they also float up to decorate the dish.

This triumph of a cookbook is a must for anyone who follows a meat-free diet, who is keen to introduce more vegetables into their daily cooking, or simply enjoys bringing the delicious flavours of the East into their kitchen at home. Whether you are vegetarian, want to eat more vegetables or just want to make great, modern Indian food, this is the book for you. Here are surprising recipes for every day made using easy to find ingredients: mushroom and walnut samosas, oven-baked onion bhajis and beetroot and paneer kebabs.

Whilst there are some vegetarian recipes in this meat-free cookbook, they can generally be easily veganised (swapping tofu for paneer for example). Unlike the stuff you get at your local curry house, her food is fresh, vibrant and surprisingly quick and easy to make. It’s the sort of cookbook that has you inadvertently saying ‘ooh, that looks good’ or ‘I need that in my life’ with every turn of a page. The tofu was crisp and chewy, giving way to a soft and creamy sponginess, and doused in a sweet, fiery sauce.

Without cleaning the whisk, move on to the next bowl, whisking the yolks and caster sugar together for a couple of minutes until they double in volume, then stir the matcha flour mixture into the egg-yolk bowl. This makes it easy to find a recipe to make, whether it’s to match the ingredients you have, or to satisfy a culinary craving! However, as a vegan, my preference is always to have a vegan, fully plant-based cookbook to look through.Add the peas, mint, lime juice, 3 tbsp of sesame oil and the salt, and pulse a few times (don’t blend: you don’t want soup). This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. With relatively short ingredient lists and straightforward instructions, this great book will have you producing authentic-tasting dishes without spending all day in the kitchen.

And then there are showstoppers such as daily dosas with coconut potatoes, roasted cauliflower korma, sticky mango paneer skewers, wild mushroom upma and lime pickle rice with roast squash and red onion.This means that even the most inexperienced cooks can follow the recipes and produce a tasty and delicious meal. The photo was the lure for me – cubes of fried cheese nestled in a creamy coconut sauce – as well as the fact that I already had most of the ingredients in my cupboard. Perhaps you rely on a copy of her award-winning cookbook Fresh India to rustle up your family’s favourite curry.
