Simple Spice Vegetarian: Easy Indian vegetarian recipes from just 10 spices
Delicious vegetarian and vegan Indian recipes made easy, with only 10 spices used throughout the book.
Cyrus Todiwala shows you how to master vegetarian and vegan Indian recipes using just 10 spices - chilli, cumin, cilantro, turmeric, cardamom, cloves, saffron, cinnamon, mace and mustard seeds. All of the recipes in the book draw only on these core spices, making Indian cookery achievable for everyone, without impossibly long ingredient lists.
Cyrus shares his trademark combinations of Indian techniques with more familiar western ingredients, and vice versa, with imaginative new takes on vegetarian and vegan recipes such as Zucchini Koftas in Tomato Sauce, Masala Scrambled Eggs with Paneer, Quinoa and Mushroom Tadka and Baked Tandoori-style Caulifower.

I like the concept behind this, but I still just didn't have the energy to tackle much of anything in this book, though there were a couple of recipes I actually would really like to try at some point. I feel like the vast majority of the others just didn't really do much for me though, for whatever reason. Maybe it's just my mood, but I couldn't really get excited about much of anything. Maybe I'll try one of his other cookbooks someday though, and see if a different one might be a better fit?

I appreciate the true sincerity Todiwala put into this recipe book. Each recipe was put together with care.
I have many pages book marked.
I hope to commit as many Indian recipe names to memory as I do the recipes themselves.

As anyone who has ever cooked Indian food before knows, you need approximately 20 spices for one dish....this book uses just 10 spices total in it, so you don't need to buy a million spices that you will use once. Great concept. Some of the recipes sound amazing and I can't wait to try.
