James Beard Award–winning chef Meherwan Irani is here to tell you that Indian street food is the best food on the planet--and that with more than 100 of his recipes you can have it at home any time you want. Entering Meherwan Irani's restaurants feels like walking into a party--and opening his cookbook is no different. With warmth, affection, and a bit of swagger, Irani makes a compelling, delicious case for adding Indian food to your weekly rotation, providing you with clear instruction on how to build layers of flavour and texture, putting beloved favourites like bhel puri, vada pav, kathi rolls, and more within your grasp. In the No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook in the World, Irani takes you through the depths of this (liberally defined) subgenre of Indian cuisine that's filled with delicious snacks, flavourful sandwiches, and curries and chutneys galore. He covers classics like pakoras and chaats as well as stews from roadside cantinas and Chinese-Indian stir fries. Through more than 100 recipes, Irani shares his tips for making street food with minimal time and effort, like sweet, bright, and crunchy Corn Bhel and a Mumbai Toastie, which provides one of the best uses you'll get out of white sandwich bread. From Dhansak, the triple lentil stew his mom used to make, to the golden-crisp Dosa that's now found itself in the lexicon of street food, these recipes are rooted in childhood memories, travels through India, and deeply conducted research on the cultures that have contributed to Indian cuisine. Essays throughout dig into areas of Indian cuisine that Irani loves to talk about, like why naan isn't eaten with every single Indian dish and why chai should be made with substandard tea leaves. With more than 100 recipes for sandwiches, chaats, fried goodies, and more, you'll quickly see why this is the No. 1 Best Indian Cookbook in the World.
