From the owner of Brooklyn Delhi comes this debut cookbook focused on the
historic and vibrant vegetarian recipes of southern India.
American author Chitra Agrawal grew up visiting family and friends around
Bangalore, and here she translates the region’s beautiful and flavor-packed
recipes for the American cook. Focusing on classic dishes based around lentils,
rice, and fresh produce, Agrawal helps home cooks learn the fundamentals of
Indian cooking, from tempering spices to working with unusual ingredients.
Rounding out the book are delightful sweet drinks, chutneys, and homemade
spice blends. Vibrant South India will show readers that Indian food goes
beyond heavy curries to include food that is vibrant, bright, and beautiful.
