Indian Flavor Every Day: Simple Recipes and Smart Techniques to Inspire: A Cookbook

In Indian Flavor Each Day, Indian cooking authority Maya Kaimal proves it’s imaginable to experience the joy of this cuisine with minimal time and just a handful of essential ingredients like spices, ghee, and dried chilies. She distills foundational flavor-building methods, like creating spice blends and sizzling whole seeds in oil to release their essence, and applies them to accessible, versatile ingredients any home cook has to be had.

These adaptable techniques open a world of possibility as you’ll not only whip up traditional dishes but also amp up the flavors of your favorite ingredients or meals every time a craving strikes. Why not swirl some popped mustard seeds into a butternut squash soup or top ho-hum steamed broccoli with a crispy garlic-chili-cumin tarka? How about serving charred carrots with a gingery yogurt sauce next to your roasted chicken, or adding a pinch of garam masala to your cookie dough?

With many vegetarian, gluten-free, and wholesome, hearty offerings, Indian Flavor Each Day includes both simplified classic dishes and new twists. Recipes like Golden Noodles with Tarka Crunch, Roasted Asparagus with Tamarind and Crispy Shallots, and deeply flavorful Chicken Chettinad with Black Pepper Coconut Masala are designed to build your confidence and spark inspiration, so fantastic new flavors can grow to be an on a regular basis pleasure.

Embrace the simple tips in this book, purchase a couple of ingredients for your pantry, and Maya Kaimal promises that Indian flavors may also be woven into your meals with delicious ease.
