Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful fiftieth-anniversary edition of the essential Indian cookbook—"the final word on the subject" (The New York Times)—featuring a new introduction by the author and a new foreword by Yotam Ottolenghi An instant classic upon publication, this book teaches home cooks perfect renditions of dishes such as Mulligatawny Soup, Whole Wheat Samosas, and Chicken Biryani, alongside Green Beans with Mustard, Khitcherie Unda (scrambled eggs, Indian style), and Nargisi Kofta (large meatballs stuffed with hard-boiled eggs). The “queen of Indian cooking" (Saveur), Madhur Jaffrey helped introduce generations of American home cooks to the foods of the subcontinent. In An Invitation to Indian Cooking—widely considered one of the best cookbooks of all time and enshrined in the James Beard Foundation’s Cookbook Hall of Fame—Jaffrey gives readers a sweeping survey of the rich culinary traditions of her home. Living in London and homesick, she was prompted to re-create the dishes of her Delhi childhood. Jaffrey taught herself the art of Indian cuisine and, in this groundbreaking book, she shares those lessons with us all. Featuring more than 160 recipes, the book covers everything from appetizers, soups, vegetables, and meats to fish, chutneys, breads, desserts, and more. From recipes for formal occasions to the making of everyday staples such as dals, pickles, and relishes, Jaffrey’s “invitation” has proved irresistible for generations of American home cooks. Beautifully redesigned—and with a new foreword by the author and a new introduction by superfan, Yotam Ottolenghi—and featuring Jaffrey's own illustrations, this anniversary edition celebrates An Invitation to Indian Cooking’s half a century as the go-to text on Indian cooking.

Book excerpt: The “queen of Indian cooking” (Saveur) and seven-time James Beard Award–winning author shares the delectable, healthful, vegetable- and grain-based foods enjoyed around the Indian subcontinent. “The world’s best-known ambassador of Indian cuisine travels the subcontinent to showcase the vast diversity of vegetarian dishes. Best of all: She makes them doable for the Western cook.” —The Washington Post Vegetarian cooking is a way of life for more than 300 million Indians. Jaffrey travels from north to south, and from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal, collecting recipes for the very tastiest dishes along the way. She visits the homes and businesses of shopkeepers, writers, designers, farmers, doctors, weavers, and more, gathering their stories and uncovering the secrets of their most delicious family specialties. From a sweet, sour, hot, salty Kodava Mushroom Curry with Coconut originating in the forested regions of South Karnataka to simple, crisp Okra Fries dusted with chili powder, turmeric, and chickpea flour; and from Stir-Fried Spinach, Andhra Style (with ginger, coriander, and cumin) to the mung bean pancakes she snacks on at a roadside stand, here Jaffrey brings together the very best of vegetable-centric Indian cuisine and explains how home cooks can easily replicate these dishes—and many more for beans, grains, and breads—in their own kitchens. With more than two hundred recipes, beautifully illustrated throughout, and including personal photographs from Jaffrey’s own travels, Vegetarian India is a kitchen essential for vegetable enthusiasts and home cooks everywhere.

Book excerpt: In the last decade, Indian food has grown ever more popular throughout North America. Now, in this one-of-a-kind cookbook, Smita Chandra introduces the ancient art of tandoori cooking, modified for a kitchen or backyard grill. Since most home chefs in America don't have access to a tandoor -- a large clay oven sunk into the ground and layered with glowing charcoal -- Chandra spent years perfecting traditional tandoori recipes for the home grill. In Indian Grill, she presents a complete range of over 100 dishes, from vegetables and chicken to seafood and lamb, with accompanying raitas, chutneys, and dips. Other chapters are devoted to appetizers and drinks, basic sauces, soups and salads, and rice. Recipe headnotes offer the reader a culinary history, evoking the beguiling tastes, smells, and sights of India. Among the mouth-watering recipes are Machali Masala (grilled breaded salmon steaks marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices); Achari Kabobs (lamb marinated in pickling spices, onions, and vinegar); and Thayir Pachadi (cucumber with grilled potatoes, onions, and tomatoes in yogurt); as well as many others. Vegetarians, who often have little choice at barbecues, will find a sumptuous selection of vegetable dishes, such as Baingan Kashmiri (baby eggplant coated in a sweet-and-sour tamarind fennel sauce served with grilled apples). Ideal for both the summer backyard barbecue and the indoor kitchen grill, Indian Grill is a fresh, flavorful, and healthy take on Indian cooking, tandoori style.

It includes over 80 recipes showing you how to prepare vegetables and fruits the Indian way—with many easy-to-make vegan and gluten-free alternatives as well. When Ramineni became a mother, one of her top priorities was to ensure that healthy and delicious home-cooked vegetarian meals would be a central part of her daughter's childhood experience. Her mother is a nutritionist and skilled Indian cook, so with her help, Ramineni set about transforming the seemingly bland vegetarian diet into the fantastic array of great-tasting meals and snacks in this vegetarian cookbook. Indian cooks have a centuries-old tradition of crafting fresh vegetables into tempting meals, since India is the home of vegan and gluten-free eating. Ancient Indian Vedic practices have also resulted with India claiming the world's most extensive range of natural food flavorings—including many spices like turmeric, ginger, and cumin, which have proven health benefits. With a few of these Indian spices in your pantry, along with this cookbook, you can effortlessly whip up flavorful dishes, like: Split Chickpea and Zucchini Stew Coconut Vegetable Curry with Tofu Tandoori Tofu Kebabs Vegetable Pilaf And over 75 more, with vegan and gluten-free modifications!
