How to Cook dishes from India
Not only Indian cuisine, but the country of
India itself,
is well known for its use of spices which add exciting flavors to many dishes.
With its many regions, languages and religons (many of which
have dietary requirements such as vegetarianism), there is also a great variety of styles
in Indian cooking.
Some popular Indian recipes include:
- Dhokla - This dish is originally from Gujarat in the West of India.
It is a kind of spicy-savory cake made from chickpea paste, which is served with green chutney or
peanut oil.
- Dosa - A large thin pancake from South India.
It is made from rice and lentils, and usually eaten with chutney, pickles, or sambar
(a vegetable stew flavored with tamarind). In non-vegetarian households, dosa are sometimes
eaten with chicken or mutton curry.
- Kheer - A rice pudding made by boiling rice with milk and sugar. Softened almonds
or pistachio nuts are often added, and the dish is often flavored with cardamoms and saffron.
In South India, the dish is known as payasam and is made using
coconut milk instead of milk.
- Murgh makhani (butter chicken) - Originally from the Punjab, this dish consists
of chicken marinated in yoghurt and spices, then grilled or
roasted.
- Pakora - Vegetables (cauliflower, chilli, eggplant, onion, potato, spinach or tomato) or
cheese (paneer) coated with gram flour (flour made from chickpeas) and deep-fried. They are
a popular snack.
- Pani puri - A crispy puri (made from fried dough) filled with a watery spicy mixture
containing chickpeas, potato, and spices.
- Patra - This vegetarian dish from Gujarat is made from rolled up Taro plant leaves with
spices and tamarind paste which are then sliced and fried. Ready prepared patra is available
in tins.
- Phall - A very spicy hot South Indian curry dish.
- Samosa - A popular North Indian snack. It is made from pastry shell, usually triangular
in shape, and is filled with mashed potato, or sometimes cheese (paneer), chickpeas, ground meat,
or mushroom (khumbi).
- Tandoori chicken - A chicken recipe originally from the Punjab. Tandoori chicken
is prepared by marinating chicken in yoghurt and tandoori massala (a mix of spices).
It is traditionally cooked in a clay oven (tandoor), but can also be grilled.
- Vindaloo - A Portuguese influenced curry dish from Goa (which was colonized by
Portugal). It is very spicy hot
and has become a popular Indian dish in
Britain,
Australia, and
New Zealand.
In Goa itself, vindaloo is usually made from pork, but overseas, other meats such as chicken
are often used.

No one knows Indian food like Madhur Jaffrey. For more than forty years, the “godmother of Indian cooking” (The Independent on Sunday) has introduced Western home cooks to the vibrant cuisines of her homeland. Now, in Vegetarian India: A Journey Through the Best of Indian Home Cooking, the seven-time James Beard Award–winning author shares the delectable, healthful, vegetable- and grain-based foods enjoyed around the Indian subcontinent.
Vegetarian cooking is a way of life for more than 300 million Indians. Jaffrey travels from north to south, and from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal, collecting recipes for the very tastiest dishes along the way. She visits the homes and businesses of shopkeepers, writers, designers, farmers, doctors, weavers, and more, gathering their stories and uncovering the secrets of their most delicious family specialties. From a sweet, sour, hot, salty Kodava Mushroom Curry with Coconut originating in the forested regions of South Karnataka to simple, crisp Okra Fries dusted with chili powder, turmeric, and chickpea flour; and from Stir-Fried Spinach, Andhra Style (with ginger, coriander, and cumin) to the mung bean pancakes she snacks on at a roadside stand, here Jaffrey brings together the very best of vegetable-centric Indian cuisine and explains how home cooks can easily replicate these dishes—and many more for beans, grains, and breads—in their own kitchens.
With more than two hundred recipes, beautifully illustrated throughout, and including personal photographs from Jaffrey’s own travels, Vegetarian India is a kitchen essential for vegetable enthusiasts and home cooks everywhere. |
