Gujarati cuisine is traditionally boiled, baked, steamed, or stir-fried – creating light and healthy meals that are still packed with flavour.
This cookbook explores authentic cuisine from the west coast of India – with recipes adopting the region's explosive combination of sweet, spicy, and sour flavours. Unlike the heavier curries and deep-fried foods that we often associate with Indian cuisine, From Gujarat With Love offers a new insight on cooking appropriate for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone who wants to create meat-free meals. Featuring easy recipes for classic small plates, popular street food, and everything in between — from bite-sized appetisers and filling dals to classic curries, decadent desserts, and refreshing beverages. Vina Patel has made her recipes accessible for home-cooks everywhere, including prep and cook times, and any relevant dietary requirements for each recipe. Includes:
- An Introduction to Gujarati Cooking, Techniques, and the Essential Ingredients
- Chutneys and other condiments
- Salads and Raitas
- Appetizers
- Dals and Soups
- Curries
- Breads
- Rice and Khichdi
- Drinks and Desserts
Recipes include Spicy Pea Croquettes, Curry Cashew Masala, Smoky Aubergine Curry, Green Chickpea Salad, Spinach Chaat, Thin Layered Roti and Kheer with Cherries.
World-renowned food photographer Jonathan Lovekin photographs the vibrant and colourful dishes, and there are atmospheric photographs of Gujarat throughout. This book transports the reader to the site of these dishes – with compelling stories from Gujarat coupled with delicious plant-based recipes from the region.
