My Indian DH who cooks really likes this one.

660 curries!

I have several favorite British Indian authors:
Chetna Makan
Maunika Gowardhan
Mallika Basu
Meera Sodha
Nisha Katona
Kaushy Patel
Atul Kochhar
You can’t go wrong with any of their books.

Curried Favors and Savoring the Spice Coast of India by Maya Kaimal
Dakshin by Chandra Padmanabhan for vegetarian South Indian cooking
Mumbai Modern by Amisha Gurbani
50 Great Curries of India by Camellia Panjabi
Indianish by Priya Krishna

Another interesting one that’s vegetarian: Vibrant India by Chitra Agrawal.

Love Vibrant India. Delicious and many are very healthy. Not the heavy cream based curries some may be used to.

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.

Same

I use Swasthi’s recipes online.

I really like my Vikram Vij cookbooks - Vij’s and Vij’s at Home. Reminiscent of Rasika menu but very doable.

In 2024 I’d love to expand my Indian repertoire beyond dal makhani and chana masala. What are DCUM’s favorite Indian recipes/cookbooks?
