The Everyday Indian Kitchen

Every recipe in three languages, with the measurements written down.

Fifty-four everyday Indian recipes — breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea-time — set out the way a recipe should be: numbered steps, exact quantities in both cups and grams, honest prep and cook times, and no step that says "cook until done".

Every single line appears three times, in English, Tamil and Hindi, so the same book works for whoever is actually standing at the stove.

Morning foods — soft idli, crispy masala dosa, ven pongal, rava upma, kanda poha, aloo paratha, uttapam, besan chilla, medu vada, methi thepla, rava kesari, masala omelette, sabudana khichdi.

Lunch — sambar, tomato pepper rasam, Hyderabadi vegetable biryani, dal tadka, rajma, lemon rice, curd rice, Punjabi chole, jeera rice, aloo gobi, Kerala fish curry, home-style chicken curry, cabbage poriyal, palak paneer.

Dinner — soft chapati, paneer butter masala, vegetable pulao, egg curry, bhindi masala, korma, tomato rice, dal makhani, Chicken 65, Kerala appam, mutton kurma, fried rice, baingan bharta, veg Manchurian.

Snacks and tea-time — samosa, onion pakoda, pani puri, vada pav, bhel puri, instant khaman dhokla, masala chai, paneer tikka, Mysore bonda, corn chaat, butter murukku, vegetable cutlet, mango lassi.

Each recipe closes with a Chef's Tip — the single thing that decides it. Why the tawa must be hot but not smoking. Why lemon juice must never be boiled. Why rasam is finished the moment it froths. Why the rice for biryani is only ever 70 per cent cooked.
