Rotis and Naans of India

Rotis and Naans of India is a new edition of a long out-of-print and much-sought-after classic cookbook, originally published in Bombay in 1988. Purobi Babbar has written and published articles on food, nutrition, health, and fitness for many leading Indian newspapers and magazines, though food has always been her favourite subject. Babbar worked for a number of years as a flight attendant, gaining the opportunity to travel widely and study many different cultures and food habits. The recipes in Rotis and Naans of India are a result of her observations and her natural flair for cooking. Completely redesigned with full-colour photography, Rotis and Naans of India includes 95 recipes for regional rotis, naans, and other breads from across India, along with a selection of complementary chutneys, pickles, and vegetarian dishes. You'll also find recipes for refreshing beverages like thandail, an almond and sunflower seed milk flavoured with peppercorns and rosewater, and di chach, an iced buttermilk drink infused with ginger, red chillies, mustard seed, and mint. Together with a glossary of ingredients and cooking terms, this collection of recipes emphasizes the diversity of Indian cuisine in an unparalleled reference book.
