Chetna draws on recipes inspired by her own family and friends rather than restaurant-style dishes, so everything here feels genuinely cookable at home. Expect vibrant mains such as onion and whole-spice chicken curry and tandoori pan-fried sea bream, alongside vegetarian favourites like paneer and cavolo nero saag. There are also oven techniques for tandoori-style roast chicken, simple flatbreads and rice dishes, a chapter of pickles and chutneys including mango and mint chutney, and lighter desserts such as saffron yogurt and spiced chocolate bark. The book strikes a careful balance between traditional Indian flavour and modern, health-conscious cooking, with a handy glossary to help newer cooks navigate spices and ingredients. Presented in a durable hardback edition at 208 pages, it's built to be a long-term kitchen companion rather than a one-read cookbook, and works equally well as a personal treat or a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80 healthy, family-friendly Indian recipes using accessible ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick, realistic methods suited to busy weeknights and weekends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes curries, flatbreads, pickles, chutneys and lighter desserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable hardback format — a lasting addition to any cookbook collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany recipes easily adapted for vegetarian or lighter diets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for home cooks, foodies and fans of Indian cuisine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nChetna Makan was born in Jabalpur, central India, and trained as a fashion designer before moving to the UK in 2004.
