Vegetarian India : a Journey Through the Best of Indian Home Cooking (2015)

Madhur Jaffrey traveled from north to south, and from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal, for this one, gathering more than 200 vegetarian recipes in the homes and businesses of shopkeepers, farmers, doctors, weavers and more. The recipes keep their regional character, so a western-coast supper one night and a northern one the next taste properly different. Meat eaters lose nothing: the dals, vegetable dishes and breakfasts such as poha, the flattened rice Jaffrey points out most Indian cookbooks ignore, are exactly the side of Indian home cooking that restaurant menus skip.
