Everyone
deserves a well-earned break now and then and if you’re
the type of person who would like to combine a trip abroad
with a delicious cooking experience, this is the prize for
you!
This
recipe comes from Monica
Bhides's and is one of her favourite
recipes from her upcoming book, Everything Indian.
A
new young voice in Indian cooking, Monica Bhide
was probably born with a mixing spoon in her
mouth! Since the age of ten, cooking has been
a lifelong passion for this accomplished caterer
and home chef. Monica specialises in Indian
cuisine and has prepared everything from an
intimate dinner for two to large parties of
40. A graduate of several formal cooking courses
in her native India, she is also a voracious
cookbook reader and counts hundreds of cookbooks
in her collection.
Frustrated
by the lack of straightforward Indian cookbooks,
Monica became inspired several years ago to
develop simplified and healthful versions of
her favorite Indian dishes. The result is the
collection of mouthwatering Indian recipes in
her book The Spice is Right, where Monica, in
her down-to-earth and lively writing style,
guides Indian food lovers on a non-intimidating
and flavourful foray into home-style Indian
cooking.
