  My version of this book is called "The Indian Kitchen", with a different front cover. It seems to contain the same recipes though.

  Per jammy on CH: You HAVE to make the tandoori spiced paneer. The flavours are just unbelievably good, especially if you make the paneer yourself.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Carrot-flavored rice (Gajar ka pulao)

  • Ladyredspecs on March 08, 2021

    I've made this repeatedly, my go-to rice dish for family curry night. Always delicious

• Cumin seed cooler (Jaljeera)

  • Ganga108 on February 01, 2025

    We are back to extreme heat again, so I am making jugs of coolers. Jal jeera is a favourite but i have played around with the flavours a little - coconut water as a base. Lots of ice. Tamarind, mint, coriander leaves, cumin, kala namak (Indian rock salt), ginger, frozen lemon and lime slices.

• Yellow lentils Pune-style (Puneri dal)

  • Ganga108 on July 29, 2024

    Easy to make in the pressure cooker/instant pot. And very delicious. Served with chickpea and spinach curry and pea rice. Pickles. Coriander leaves.

• Hot basil tea (Tulsi kadha)

  • Ganga108 on June 30, 2025

    Warming and relaxing a beautiful herbal tea.

• Licorice tea (Mulethiwali chai)

  • Ganga108 on July 02, 2025

    Liquorice root is so sweet - it can sometimes deceive with its sweetness. I'll often add some to dishes where I want a touch of sweetness without using sugar. This is a lovely warming drink, with or without the tea. I love a lot of ginger in it. Note: always check any warnings before using liquorice root - there are some contraindications for some people.

• Spicy black chickpeas (Vatana usal)

  • wkhull on November 10, 2025

    After this dish I've decided I really (really) like black chickpeas. I'm not a huge curry fan, but this was pretty decent.

• Yogurt cooler (Lassi)

  • mjes on April 07, 2017

    This is the simple lassi that I've made most of my life. It is a drink that most children take to if one adjusted the sugar level.
