Easy Indian Cookbook New Version

This is the paperback version of my latest cookbook published by Duncan Baird Publishers. With over a 100 recipes, there are menu ideas and tips to make Indian cooking as easy as possible. The first part of the book explains in straightforward terms about the ingredients and the methods used in preparing Indian dishes. The book is also available in several languages in many countries including India. From Manju's Quick Curry Paste to one of my favourites a Vegetable Biryani, there's something spicy for everyone who wants to add a little jazz to their lives.

In this book Manju has a range of easy Indian recipes. The interesting thing about this book is that it also includes a music CD which you can play while you cook! It’s a kind of sound therapy to encourage people back into the kitchens and to make cooking a more pleasurable experience, so my favourite track ‘Firestarter’ by Prodigy wont be included.

In this book Manju specialises in simple home cooking, and so all of her recipes are authentic and yet easy to prepare. She travelled widely in India to research the latest home cooking, gleaning ideas from takeaway food stalls as well as the kitchens of cooks, friends and family.

The book contains fabulous location photography by award-winning Jason Lowe as well as studio shots of Manju's recipes.

Brit Spice

With Manju's first book she has created a whole new concept of cooking Indian food at home. The result is Brit-Indi cuisine, combining British ingredients with Indian spices. Find out how to rustle up Manju's favourite Indian meals using ingredients such as bread, bacon and baked beans. The key to the recipes is that they are incredibly quick and easy to make.

Manju gives timings at the start of each one to show that an Indian meal can be made at home in literally 15 minutes. Quicker than a trip to the local takeaway!


 

Spices A to Z

Peppercorns – Kali Mirch
Native to India, the peppercorn is the king of spices. Black peppercorns are the fermented green berries of a perennial vine plant, piper nigrum, sun-dried to turn them black and hard. Green, white and pink peppercorns are from the same plant as the black variety, picked at varying stages of ripeness. Black peppercorns should be large, even in size and a deep rich brown. They smell earthy, warm and pungent. Their flavour is released on grinding and enhanced by heat. However, once ground, the volatile oils soon evaporate so add pepper towards the end of cooking.

Good-quality black peppercorns will keep for many years in a cool dark place in an airtight container.
