Bread we love! With the carbs threatening an overdose, did a tiny substitution with whole wheat flour and used instant yeast.

The Chakle India Cookbook – Adityas energy is infectious. I love the simple explanations, the ‘deglazing’ of the pan now and then, asking you to check the balance of flavours, taking in the magic of Indian spices. From the book I offer you a non vegetarian and vegetarian main meal recipe, both delicious. They celebrate the robustness of Indian cuisine.
