Review
I can't believe I have never reviewed this one. I have checked it out so many times from my library and I have made many things from Richa's blog. And I loved them all. I really enjoy Indian food but there are just no good places near where I live. Plus, my husband will not eat it under any circumstance. Too bad for him. So this book is perfect for me as I can make my own.Anyway, this one has so many great recipes from small plates and snacks (yum, potato samosas), to veggie curries, lentils and bean, one pot meals, main dishes, flatbreads, desserts, and chutneys and spices. I'm sucker for anything with lentils or beans. One of my favorite recipes from this author (on her blog) is the Tumeric chickpea peanut butter curry with veggies. Oh my, it so good. I LOVE chickpeas in any form. All the recipes indicate the amount of time to prep, if it's gluten, soy, or nut free and if it's easy. I did not think the recipes were so involved and most can be made during a weeknight. Not every recipe has a photo, but in this case, I'm OK with that. I just enjoy the recipes and how approachable they are. Next up, red lentil tomato pulao...and it's all mine. Hubs can go for takeout. :-)
