Indian Flavor Everyday

New York Times Best Cookbook of the Year

Discover how simple it can be to bring the vibrant, complex flavors of India into your everyday cooking. Award-winning author Maya Kaimal shows home cooks how a handful of pantry staples—like spices, ghee, and dried chilies—can transform weeknight meals with ease.

With 80 approachable recipes and smart tips, Kaimal teaches foundational techniques like blooming spices in oil or making versatile spice blends, then applies them to both traditional dishes and creative new twists. Think Golden Noodles with Tarka Crunch, Roasted Asparagus with Tamarind and Crispy Shallots, Chicken Chettinad with Black Pepper Coconut Masala, and even cookies with a dash of garam masala.

Packed with vegetarian, gluten-free, and family-friendly options, Indian Flavor Every Day is more than a cookbook—it’s an invitation to weave irresistible Indian flavors into your kitchen with confidence and joy.
