Vegan Indian Food is a recipe book to help you make flavourful plant-based alternatives to almost 90 traditional Indian recipes including breads, curries, rice dishes and desserts. Vegan food and Indian cuisine are both popular in England, and this book combines both, freeing you from having to buy expensive plastic-wrapped ready-meals from supermarkets.

The book draws on the author’s experience of wanting to make some of her favourite dishes vegan-friendly, but still respecting the history and authenticity of her heritage. Use traditional cooking methods and skills to create homemade samosas, pakoras, biriyanis and rotis.
The recipes are accompanied by beautiful photographs, plus helpful tips on how to master techniques for Indian cuisine. And the author’s reflections on food’s connection to memory, place and family.
About the Author
