This beautiful follow-up to Anupy Singla's widely praised first
cookbook, the Indian Slow Cooker, is a unique guide to preparing
favorite recipes from the Indian tradition using entirely vegan
ingredients. Featuring more than 50 recipes, and illustrated with color
photography throughout, these great recipes are all prepared in
healthful versions that use vegan alternatives to rich cream, butter,
and meat. The result is a terrific addition to the culinary resources of
any cook interested in either vegan or Indian cuisine.
Singla--a mother of two, Indian emigre, and former TV news
journalist--has a distinctive style and voice that brings alive her
passion for easy, authentic Indian food. Some of these recipes were
developed by her mother through the years, but many Singla developed
herself, including fusion recipes that pull together diverse traditions
from across the Indian subcontinent. She shows the busy, harried family
that cooking healthy is simple and that cooking Indian is just a matter
of understanding a few key spices.
As Singla sees it, acquiring and using the proper spices is the key to
preparing her healthful recipes at home. Singla has recently brought to
market her own line of traditional Indian spice trays (also known as a
masala dabba), which is being sold by retail outlets like
Williams-Sonoma. Vegan Indian Cooking builds off of Singla's vast
expertise in simplifying and perfecting Indian spices and unique, custom
spice blends, making delicious Indian cooking accessible to even the
most hurried home chef.
