Every province has a regional style\u003cbr\u003eand a large repertoire of traditional recipes, not to forget the\u003cbr\u003eday-to-day food that has evolved over time. Moreover, since a\u003cbr\u003esignificant part of the population is vegetarian, India has no equal\u003cbr\u003ein the field of vegetarian cooking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy book, DESI KHANA, is an ode to Indian vegetarian cuisine. Every\u003cbr\u003erecipe is a tribute to a land as vibrant and varied as ours. This book\u003cbr\u003eoffers you a wide range of purely Indian recipes.

With a spot of\u003cbr\u003ehelp from the sections\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eon Roti, Paratha aur Puri, Desi Tarkariyan, Dilkhush Dals, and Chaawal\u003cbr\u003eLajawaab, you can conjure up inspiring menus including dishes like\u003cbr\u003ePotato Roti, Spicy Urad Dal Puri, Vegetable in Tomato Gravy, Corn\u003cbr\u003eCurry, Spicy Kofta Curry, Sambhar, Vegetable and Lentil Pulao, and\u003cbr\u003etasty Khichdi – Bengali Style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop off the meal with some exciting snacks and sweets – and surely\u003cbr\u003eyour guests will be yearning for an invitation to your next party,\u003cbr\u003ejust as your family will be looking forward to an exciting twist in\u003cbr\u003eevery meal.

Or, delight everybody with a novel dish such as Paneer\u003cbr\u003ePistachio Rolls!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhilst I have tried to cover almost all traditional styles, I have\u003cbr\u003ealso kept in mind that we live in more modern times. Elaborate cooking\u003cbr\u003emethods like those used in olden Moghlai and Nawabi styles are not\u003cbr\u003epracticable any more, nor can we digest food as rich as those prepared\u003cbr\u003ein the past. So, while taking all care to retain the authentic flavour\u003cbr\u003eand feel of each recipe, I have also adopted modern cooking practices.\u003cbr\u003eSo, you can be rest assured that there is a proper balance between\u003cbr\u003etradition and modernity; taste and health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake joy in cooking!
