Perfect for you if...

You love Indian food but find restaurant recipes intimidating or overly complicated.
You're curious about regional differences within Indian cuisine and want to cook beyond the standard curry house menu.
You enjoy food books that tell you where dishes actually come from, not just how to make them.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer recipes that promise results in under 15 minutes with five ingredients.
You're looking for a book that's primarily stories about India, with recipes as an afterthought.
You have strong aversions to chilli, tamarind, or other bold umami flavours.

The book presents recipes from different regions, including Tamarind Stuffed Chillis, Chana Dal Vada with Coconut Chutney, and Sticky Bombay Chicken from the South, as well as Northern dishes such as Chole, Carrot Halwa, Pani Puri, and Cardamom & Pistachio Kulfi.
