30 Minute Mowgli: Fast Easy Indian from the Mowgli Home Kitchen

by Nisha Katona

Overview

Get spice-packed, punchy, and fresh Indian-inspired dishes that take you from couch to curry in 30 minutes or less!

The TV chef, restaurateur, and Mowgli Street Food author shows you how to cook speedy, easy, and flavorful Indian recipes—right in your own home.

This is the food Nisha Katona cooks at home: bold and delicious Mowgli-style recipes that you can get on the table in 30 minutes or less. Just like at her Mowgli restaurants, the focus is on food that’s big in flavor but also light, healthy, and made from accessible ingredients—often just using what’s already in your cupboard or fridge.

For super usability, the chapters are themed around ingredients: Poultry, Meat, Fish, Vegetables, Desserts, and "Ma, Look Away!" (for Nisha’s favorite pasta dishes). Tantalize your tastebuds with:

• Quick Angry Tandoori
• Yoghurt Coriander Turkey
• Gingerbread Lamb Steaks
• Keema Toasties
• Bengali Fish Curry
• Indian Fish Finger Sandwiches
• Back of the Fridge Curry
• Million Dollar Green Dahl
 
All the recipes are meals that range from light lunches to substantial dinners; all you need to do is accompany them with one of the simple sides suggested in the introduction—like rice, noodles, potatoes, or a chapati wrap. This is the food that real people want: tasty and nutritious meals you can whip up without fuss.

Editorial Reviews

British chef Katona (The Spice Tree), founder of the Indian restaurant chain Mowgli Street Food, draws inspiration from her home kitchen to offer simple and speedy dishes that are big on flavor. “Though you will not find the long-simmered curries or slow-roasted meats that adorn Mowgli’s menu within these pages, these recipes are what I actually cook at home on a daily basis,” she writes. Packed with savory and robust dishes, the collection features highlights such as aromatic spiced lamb and apricot wraps, a tangy tamarind salmon curry, and a fire-roasted quick angry tandoori (because, as Katona writes, “Everyone needs a good tandoori recipe up their sleeves”). She pays homage to the women in her family with their favorites, including a Million-Dollar Dahl, from her mother-in-law, and a comforting mushroom curry inspired by her mother’s childhood in India. In line with her promise to keep recipes hassle-free, Katona offers “shameless shortcuts,” such as using canned spinach and stock cubes (an easy substitute for the “salty, sweet hit” that typically only comes from long simmers) for readers short on time and space. Meanwhile, a breakdown of Indian spices takes the guesswork out of achieving complex flavors at a “moment’s notice.” Home cooks won’t be left wanting. (Nov.)
