Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Thandai masala

    • EmilyR on January 11, 2022

      The smell of this is intoxicatingly wonderful. I find myself sprinkling this onto whipped cream and frosting to add some extra flavor and interest. It's super versatile and unique.

  • Breakfast naan pizza

    • EmilyR on February 01, 2022

      I used store bought naan, but otherwise kept the recipe the same. It's a quick and easy, yet filling little pizza. A food processor definitely helps with all of the thin cutting.

  • Strawberry and rose petal granola

    • EmilyR on February 01, 2022

      This is a nice granola with layers of flavor. I would have liked the rose to come through even more.

  • Almond cinnamon waffles with summer berries

    • EmilyR on February 01, 2022

      I forgot to add the chocolate chips, but frankly these are so flavorful without them that they weren't even missed. I added the Thandai masala sprinkled over the whipped cream and that was a great choice. Also, I have cinnamon infused maple syrup, which help bring out that flavor. Great flavors all around and rave reviews from the entire family.

  • Chai masala, macadamia nut, and white chocolate banana bread with passion fruit and vanilla bean butter

    • EmilyR on February 01, 2022

      I did my cake a little backwards with turbinado sugar sprinkled in the bottom of the pan, since I was using the Nordicware snowflake pan. It gives it a crisper crust and releases relatively easily. The curd definitely helps as I thought this was a touch too sweet. There's a hint of a salty, which I liked and I think it's from the macadamia nuts that were lightly salted. I like the passion fruit curd from Cook Real Hawai'i more... it's less sweet and a larger quantity.

  • Vegetable koftas in tomato cashew curry

    • hlauer on May 19, 2026

      Recipe says it serves 8-10. I feel this was pretty generous and more like 4 with a little leftovers. Great flavor

  • Thandai shortbread cookies dipped in white chocolate with pistachios and rose petals

    • EmilyR on January 11, 2022

      I read other reviews for these cookies and they mentioned a couple of Tbsp heavy cream to help everything bind together more. Also, it didn't specify, but I used Ceylon cinnamon. Virtually everytime my husband grabs one he says, “These are so good.” …and they are!

  • Ginger masala chai (Aadhu masala chai)

    • EmilyR on February 01, 2022

      This is a bit referential as it's needed in the banana bread recipe. It smells wonderfully and is a great way to rotate spices that might not be as heavily used... also simple zipping through the vitamix dry container.

Publishers Text

Tradition meets innovation in this celebration of Indian cuisine made for the American kitchen.

Many of us love the flavors of Indian food but are intimidated by the idea of cooking it ourselves. Amisha Gurbani teaches home cooks to embrace spice and build dishes that play with sweet, spicy, sour, and savory flavors. Inspired by the spices and dishes of her native India and the produce-forward cooking style of her adopted home in California’s Bay Area, Gurbani’s culinary creations are remarkable for their unique flavor pairings.

Mumbai Modern offers 100 recipes, complete with Gurbani’s stunning photographs, including breakfasts (whole wheat pancakes with ghee-sautéed banana and cardamom); appetizers and salads (lentil fritters and yogurt sauce); mains (masala veggie burgers); bread, rice, and snacks (poori, roti, panzanella); sauces, dips, and jams (avocado cilantro pepita sauce); desserts (blood orange and hibiscus tart); and drinks (kumquat ginger cinnamon whisky sour).
