Bundle! No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook
Bundle! No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook
Here's what usually happens with a new cookbook. You read it cover to cover on a Sunday, flag six recipes, then discover the first one needs four things you don't own and two you've never heard of. The book goes on the shelf. You order takeout.
This bundle exists to skip that part!
No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook in the World is Meherwan Irani's first book, written with Jamie Feldmar! More than 100 recipes from the chaat carts, roadside canteens, grills, and home kitchens of India, from the chef behind Chai Pani and Botiwalla.
With this book, you won't be intimidated to cook Indian food at home. It makes it easy!
Then there's the spices! We went through the whole cookbook, logging every spice in every recipe. The ten that kept coming back are what's inside the 10-Pack No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook Essentials Collection. Nothing in it is filler. If a tin is in the box, you'll open it in the first week.
Who this is for:
Someone who's been curious about Indian cooking and is intimidated!
Someone who eats at Chai Pani or Botiwalla and wants to cook that food at home.
Or anyone on your gift list who says, every year, that they want to cook more Indian food.
If you already own the cookbook, buy the 10-Pack No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook Essentials Collection on its own.

Flavour Profile
Flavour Profile
Chai Pani Chaat Masala. The sour-salty finishing powder behind Indian street food. Amchoor does the tang, black salt does the funk.
Botiwalla Tandoori Masala. Mix it into full-fat yogurt and let the yogurt do the work. Tandoor flavour from a home oven or a grill.
Roasted Cumin Powder. Toasted before grinding, darker and nuttier than raw ground cumin, and meant for finishing rather than cooking.
Cumin Seed. Whole, for tempering. Into hot fat at the start, where it perfumes everything that follows.
Brown Mustard Seed. Sharper than yellow. The seeds need to pop in hot oil, which takes about thirty seconds.
Coriander Powder. Citrusy and mild, and the quiet workhorse. It gives a curry body and keeps the loud spices from tasting thin.
Kashmiri Chilli Powder. Prized for colour more than heat. That deep red in butter chicken comes from here.
Turmeric Powder. Earthy and faintly bitter. Its flavour compounds are fat-soluble, so it belongs in oil rather than water.
Amrit's Garam Masala. Meherwan's mother's household recipe. Nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, black peppercorn, cumin seed, green cardamom. Add it at the end.
Tellicherry Black Peppercorns. Left on the vine longer, so they're larger and more aromatic than standard pepper. Grind them fresh.
