Anything by Madhur Jaffrey, or Urvashi Pitre. I have Instant Pot cookbooks by Pitre and also like her site: https://twosleevers.com/instant-pot-butter-chicken/ |
| I really like my Vikram Vij cookbooks - Vij’s and Vij’s at Home. Reminiscent of Rasika menu but very doable. |
| I use Swasthi’s recipes online. |

Madhur Jaffrey's Quick & Easy Indian Cooking Is the best cookbook I own. Not sure I’ve made every recipe from another cookbook.
My not very adventurous eater of a DH begs me to make 8 or 9 recipes from this cookbook frequently, and we are both midwestern people raised on American meat and potatoes meals. I hated the lack of variety but he found it comforting. It’s the perfect starter book for the timid, but it’s also a great book for people who love quick and elegant meals. She’s so brilliant. |
Love Vibrant India. Delicious and many are very healthy. Not the heavy cream based curries some may be used to. |
