Book Description
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 Description
The Cookbook with a New Twist! There are a lot of Vegetarians all over the world now, as compared to some couple of decades ago, when it was extremely difficult for a Vegetarian to even buy cookies or bread without eggs, wondering what was in the package! You could never really know about the quality and integrity of the contents within. Years ago, being Vegetarians was looked upon with disdain, frowned upon, and sometimes with very surprised looks, as if we were from another planet! It was unbelievable to them as to how a Vegetarian could even survive without meat! We grew up in five countries, and we were constantly on the move for a good 20 years. My father, Atma Singh, was a Diplomat in the Indian Foreign Service, and we did a lot of entertaining and partying, and needed great food – and lots of varieties, too! With my mom, Kuljit’s expert culinary skills, bless her generous heart, we churned out tons of mouth-watering sweet and savoury snacks and foods. I had a first hand experience with the culinary expert, my mom, who improvised and invented recipes. I was amazed that she had all the recipes in her memory, with the exact proportions. She was the darling and life of the party. We were the famous Indian Vegetarian Family! Many recipes in this Book are North Indian, some South Indian as well, with some great contributions from friends and family. We used to make our own fried snacks, homemade Ketchup, Pizzas, sweet and savoury snacks, and even potato chips, crunchies and fried munchies – which is now readily available in many local supermarkets and ethnic food stores. This Book contains wonderful recipes from friends and relatives, adapted to my own special version, which will be of great benefit to both Vegetarians and non-Vegetarians alike, and especially to new Vegetarians. Ofcourse, this book is for anyone and everyone, young and old alike, and especially the new generation.
