Dishes range from mildly spiced to fiery, creamy to fried or grilled, sour to sweet – but always with a carefully selected blend of aromatic spices and herbs. A typical Indian meal is likely to consist of several main dishes, plus a range of extras: pakoras or samosas, rice or bread, salads, yoghurt dishes, chutneys and pickles. While dishes may include meat, seafood or poultry, we can thank Indias large vegetarian population for the many delicious options based on lentils, seasonal vegetables and paneer. Indian Bible contains more than 130 easy, authentic recipes. There are curries of every kind, as well as plenty of other meat, seafood and vegetable dishes. Youll also find snacks and soups, rice and bread, desserts, drinks and accompaniments. This is nourishing, satisfying food, designed for sharing. ExtractIntroductionIndian food is as complex and diverse as the country itself, with dishes heavily influenced by regional factors. In the arid north, pulses and breads feature prominently, while in the south, fresh seafood, rice and coconut are the main players.The unique flavours of Indian cuisine come from the blending of aromatic spices and herbs, such as cinnamon, saffron, cloves and coriander. Chilli is a ubiquitous ingredient – but that doesnt mean that every dish is hot. There are dishes to suit every palate, from mild, creamy kormas to eye–wateringly fiery vindaloos. Meals are often quick and easy to prepare, and immensely satisfying. The country also boasts arguably the worlds greatest array of vegetarian dishes, often based around legumes such as lentils, chickpeas and red kidney beans.
