A INDIAN HOUSEWIFE'S RECIPE BOOK
Laxmi Khurana is an Indian housewife based in the UK, and this collection draws on recipes passed down through her family across multiple generations, enjoyed by those close to her long before they ever appeared in print. Now she's sharing them with a wider audience, covering everything from starters and raitas to chutneys, pickles, sweets and, of course, curries, all without demanding hours of prep or a specialist kitchen. These are proper home-cooked dishes, the kind you won't find on a restaurant menu, made with spices and ingredients you can pick up at any decent supermarket. Straightforward, thrifty, and genuinely achievable. Readers have responded warmly. One notes that the recipes are clear and simple to follow, producing the best curries they've ever made at home, with every ingredient easy to source locally. Another appreciates that the book skips the tedious step of preparing multiple base sauces in advance (just open it and start cooking). A third sums it up neatly as 'good, honest, easy everyday cooking for those of us addicted to Indian food.' If you've ever wanted to recreate the flavours of a real Indian kitchen rather than a high street takeaway, this unpretentious little book makes a convincing case that it's well within reach.
