This booklet contains recipes for cooks who are keen to learn cooking techniques and the layering of flavours needed to achieve an authentic Indian taste. It is brought to you by Priya Deshingkar, who is a well-known curator of supper clubs, a cookery teacher and a food writer.
Priya’s cooking follows the traditions of great cooks from the city of Delhi where she grew up at a time when everything was cooked from scratch. Delhi is a melting pot of many different communities – the original Baniya and Muslim residents, the Punjabis who came over after Partition, and migrants from other parts of India in search of urban opportunities.
Although living in close proximity, each community had distinct culinary tradition. This booklet showcases some celebrated dishes which we hope you will enjoy.
