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.
