The Food Of India gives you a real taste of one of the world's great cuisines. India has both a well-known and much-loved repertoire of dishes, as well as myriad other exciting recipes. Join our culinary joumey from the snack-sellers on the beaches of Mumbai to the rossogolla-makers of Kolkata, from the tea gardens of Assam and Munnar to the makers of sweets in Delhi. Discover the vast array of dishes which make up the cuisine of today's India: from traditional Moghul dishes such as korma and kofta, to a selection of breads, dals and fragrant basmati rice dishes including pulao and biryani.
Each recipe is photographed as it is made, and is accompanied by helpful pictures of techniques, equipment and ingredients. Stunning photographs shot while on location in India show how to identify and choose produce: from fresh vegetables straight from the market to seafood, spices and pickles.
To partner the recipes, special sections explore the essence of Indian food and drink. These include an exploration of spices, breads and seafood. There are also sections on street food, sweet-making and the different grades of Indian tea. A glossary of food, cooking and equipment helps you identify and source your ingredients and offers helpful tips on substitutions.
