Prem Souri Kishore invites readers on a personally-guided tour across the subcontinent, exploring the beloved foods, history, myths, festivals, and traditions that are unique to each region along the way. More than just a collection of recipes, India: A Culinary Journey gives readers a taste of India’s vibrant foodways, whether amidst the hustle and bustle of Chennai, where hawkers fry up delectable aloo ki tikki on a crowded Marina Beach; or in a railway car in Punjab where passengers share not only lively discussions about politics, cricket, and Bollywood films, but also whatever they have brought onboard for lunch; to the tranquility of the family home where the daily routine includes making fresh yogurt, hand-grinding spices with a stone, and taking an afternoon nap in the mango orchard.

Generously spiced with the author’s memories and personal stories from an Indian childhood brimming with delicious adventures, India: A Culinary Journey brings the flavors of India alive. Includes:

More than 100 easy-to-follow recipes, all adapted for the North American kitchen
A quick reference glossary on ingredients and spices
A guide to festivals, celebrations, and customs

Industry Reviews

"She enters the world of pickle making, samples bhelpuri from street vendors, crunches on murukus on railway journeys, and drifts on the Dal Lake nibbling fried lotus stems, while feasting on Mughlai biryanis and eating a mango sitting atop a tree. The narrative is peppered with stories of food rituals, food myths, the place of food in sacred worship, food etiquette, and is layered with brilliant imagery of India's diverse landscapes."
