"Our home food is much simpler than the food you find in Indian Restaurants. We use very few spices. The same ingredients are generally used for everything, but like musical notes, can be combined in many different ways to create beautiful melodies." Vicky Bhogal

If you think you know Indian Cooking, think again. 'Cooking with Mummyji' reveals a little-known cuisine with roots both in the Indian sub-continent and in Britain. Vicky Bhogal is passionate about British Asian Food. In over 100 recipes she reveals its secrets. Many of the names of her dishes will be familiar to aficionados of high-street Indian restaurants, but they will find Vicky's versions healthier, with fresher, more vivid flavours.

And since Vicky's family and friends have lived in the UK for two generations, they have applied Indian cooking techniques to their favourite British ingredients with some surprising results, for example an Indian version of Fried Eggy Bread, Baked Beans with Spring Onion Sabji and Pasta with Yoghurt and Chilli Drizzle.

SYNOPSIS

The main element missing from restaurant food is the female energy. The kitchen is always the best place to be an Indian or British-Asian household. Full of women joking, laughing, gossiping, confiding, moaning about their mother-in-law or daughter-in-law; they do all this whilst cooking and this is the magic ingredient, which cannot be replicated. The wisdom, love and culture of these women rubs off from their hands into the food to give a special taste.

This is why two Indian women who start of with the same ingredients, following the same method, never produce the same results. It is this alchemy, turning the simplest ingredients into gold, which you will learn by making the recipes in this book.
