Description

My Indian Kitchen features recipes for well-known traditional Indian dishes alongside a range of new and exciting Indian tastes and textures, all of which are easy to make in your own home kitchen. Ashia Ismail-Singer's recipes aren't just a list of ingredients and measurements. For her, they are memories of childhood, food experiences that have been passed down through generations, and which connect her back to her family overseas. With chutneys and bites for grazing, light lunches, mains, desserts, home baking and more, this book brings you a collection of recipes inspired by Indian food culture, but made with ingredients that are easy to access in New Zealand. The recipes in My Indian Kitchen have been designed to simplify complex traditional processes, and to inspire all New Zealanders to try Indian cooking at home.
