Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chicken with fenugreek leaves (Methi chicken)

    • TrishaCP on December 22, 2022

      I had to make some adjustments (no onions) due to current dietary restrictions, but I thought this was incredibly delicious. There was just the right amount of fenugreek to perfume but not overwhelm the dish. I used ground byadgi chile and whole sannam chiles and I thought the heat level was perfect.

    • klipper on July 16, 2023

      Wonderful - it’s like the best flavours of a Murgh Makhani without all the butter & cream. It’s quicker, too! I ended up doubling the amount of methi, as I love its earthy flavour and the depth it brings. Huge hit with the family.

  • Chickpea pulao (Channa pulao)

    • lkgrover on August 23, 2022

      Good, flavorful rice dish with chickpeas & onions. Served with this book's Chicken with fenugreek leaves.

  • Potatoes, cauliflower and peas (Aloo gobi mattar)

    • Lepa on September 27, 2022

      This was very bland and disappointing. We barely finished what was on our plates.

Publishers Text

A new cookbook from the star of Netflix's Chef's Table and one of the world's most prominent female chefs

A heart-warming cookbook of comforting aromatic Indian flavors: Indian food from home, cooked with heart.

Ammu is a collection of recipes from Asma Khan’s childhood, her Indian family kitchen. It is a celebration of where she comes from, of home cooking, and the inextricable link between food and love. It is also a chance for Asma to honor her ammu mother and to share with us the recipes that made her and rooted her to home.

This book is a joyful celebration of memories of food, and its power to heal, restore, and comfort. It includes her ammu's comfort food from childhood, the recipes with which she was taught to cook, celebratory food for special occasions, and slow-cooked recipes passed through the generations of her family.

The recipes and the memories she shares all possess something that is universal: food is a way for us to have this conversation about how similar we all are how it connects us and unites us beyond differing appearances, accents, races and backgrounds. With stunning food and family photos, this cookbook is a must-have for cooks and lovers of Indian food.
