The Easy 5 Ingredient Indian Cookbook

“One of those Indian cookbooks that I see myself actually going to again and again for simple, satisfying weeknight meals, and easy Indian cooking.” —Fearless Fresh The premise is simple: with five common spices and a few basic ingredients, home cooks can create fifty mouthwatering Indian dishes, as diverse as they are delicious. Cooking teacher Ruta Kahate has chosen easy-to-find spices—coriander, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper, and turmeric—to create authentic, accessible Indian dishes everyone will love. Roasted Lamb with Burnt Onions uses just two spices and three steps resulting in a meltingly tender roast. Steamed Cauliflower with a Spicy Tomato Sauce and Curried Mushrooms and Peas share the same three spices, but each tastes completely different. Suggested menus offer inspiration for entire Indian dinners. For quick and easy Indian meals, keep it simple with 5 Spices, 50 Dishes. “I really can’t say enough good things about this book. The recipes are simple but not simplistic, and the flavors you can achieve by following her recipes are mind blowing.” —Biscuits of Today
