THE NEW TASTES OF INDIA is the last word in contemporary Indian cuisine brought to you by the founding chef of the award-winning chain of Rasa restaurants. Inspired by the fresh, aromatic ingredients of his homeland, Das Sreedharan's recipes capture the simplicity and lightness of Keralan cooking. This book is an experimental cook's dream with its emphasis on exotic flavours and vibrant colours. Forget greasy curry houses and plates of indistinguishable brown sludge: try instead exciting dishes such as Ginger and Chilli Pickle, Brinjal Rice, Drumstick Parippu and Bhindi Thoran. With its relaxed, home cooking approach, NEW TASTES is the ideal way to explore healthy, vegetarian cookery with real imaginative flair.
