Overview
Meat Free Mowgli: Simple & Delicious Plant-Based Indian Meals is a vibrant hardback cookbook from bestselling author and Mowgli Street Food founder Nisha Katona. Organised by everyday ingredient, it turns familiar vegetables, pulses and grains into spice-packed, meat-free Indian feasts. Perfect for home cooks reducing meat intake, vegans, vegetarians and flexitarian families wanting quick, flavour-forward weeknight dinners without sacrificing authenticity or comfort.
About the Book
Environmentalists increasingly call for reduced meat consumption, and Indian cuisine, naturally rich in vegetables, pulses and spice, is perfectly placed to lead the way. In Meat Free Mowgli, Nisha Katona takes the authentic home cooking of her mother and grandmothers and reshapes it for modern Western kitchens, creating recipes that are quick, uncomplicated and bursting with flavour. Rather than organising chapters by course, the book is structured around key ingredients, answering the practical question every home cook asks: what do I do with the vegetables, beans or grains sitting in my kitchen? Chapters cover roots, beans, squashes, brassicas and leafy greens, lentils and grains, fruits, and a final chapter for eggs and dairy for flexitarian households. Each recipe draws on Katona's trademark fresh, spice-forward style, translating traditional techniques into approachable, family-friendly dishes. The result is a beautifully photographed hardback that works equally well as a practical weeknight cookbook or a thoughtful gift for anyone exploring plant-based or meat-reduced eating. Whether you're a committed vegan, an occasional vegetarian, or simply looking to eat a little greener, this collection delivers big, bold Indian flavour without meat.
