Book Description
Ramachandra Guha’s India after Gandhi is a magisterial account of the pains, struggles, humiliations and glories of the world’s largest and least likely democracy. A riveting chronicle of the often brutal conflicts that have rocked a giant nation, and of the extraordinary individuals and institutions who held it together, it established itself as a classic when it was first published in 2007. In the last decade, India has witnessed, among other things, two general elections; the fall of the Congress and the rise of Narendra Modi; a major anti-corruption movement; more violence against women, Dalits, and religious minorities; a wave of prosperity for some but the persistence of poverty for others; comparative peace in Nagaland but greater discontent in Kashmir than ever before. This tenth anniversary edition, updated and expanded, brings the narrative up to the present. Published to coincide with seventy years of the country’s independence, this definitive history of modern India is the work of one of the world’s finest scholars at the height of his powers.

Savour 91 Exotic, Mouth-Watering Snacks Prepared the Way Only Indians Can …. In India, visit someone’s home in the North, and you are bound to be offered, with your tea, some Indian snacks like Pakoras (vegetable fritters) or Chiura (savoury rice flakes). In wayside eateries, you may see some Aloo (potato) or Paneer (cottage cheese) Tikkis (cutlets) being sizzled on huge pans, or Samosas being fried in woks. On festivals and weddings, you are quite likely to encounter the melt-in-the-mouth Dahi Baras/Bhallas. In Gujarat, you will have steamed Dhokhlas and rolled Khandvis. In South India, you can’t escape some kind of Idli, Dosa, or Vada. And then there are the Indian accompaniments like chutneys (sauces) and raitas (yoghurt-based dish), without which not just snacks but an Indian thali (platter) would be considered incomplete. In that background, Prasenjeet Kumar and Sonali Kumar, the #1 best-selling authors of "Cooking In A Jiffy" series of cookbooks present 91 idiot proof recipes for preparing: 12 North-Indian snacks, 7 South-Indian, 10 East-Indian, 6 West-Indian, 5 snacks-on-the-go, 7 types of kebabs, 11 kinds using fish, 7 chicken snacks, 9 chutneys, 6 kinds of raitas, and 11 drinks.

The Ultimate Guide to Cooking Rice the Indian Way

ISBN:
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
From a Bed for Curries, to Pilaf, Biryani, Khichdi, Idli, Dosa, Savouries and Desserts, No One Cooks Rice as Lovingly as the Indians Do From Prasenjeet Kumar, the #1 bestseller of the “Cooking In A Jiffy” series of books, comes the ultimate rice cookbook that anyone looking for gluten-free food should just grab with both hands. Cataloguing the legendary “love affair” that Indians have with rice....... The book narrates how rice forms an intrinsic part of every Indian’s life from birth till death. Every religious ceremony has to involve rice. Rice is stuck on the red vermillion that is applied to your forehead as akshat. Rice is poured into the holy fire lit during religious ceremonies as an offering to the gods. Rice is sprinkled over guests, worshippers and the newlyweds to bless them, with the incantation: “May your life be full of dhan (wealth) and dhanya (rice).” Rice is “popular” because it is one of the easiest foods to digest. Being totally gluten free, it is the best food for infants when they have to be weaned. For young adults and old people too, who may have wheat allergies or even celiac disease, adopting a rice diet would be what every sensible doctor would prescribe as the first step to adopting a totally gluten free diet. For the same reason, rice is great for relieving digestive disorders like diarrhoea, dysentery, colitis and even morning sickness. This is why 70% of the world, including USA and northern Canada, grows and consumes rice. Rice grows in almost any part of the world which is wet and humid and NOT colder than 21 degree Celsius (70 degree F). There is hardly any type of soil in which rice cannot be grown including alkaline and acidic soils. Rice in India is grown from below sea-level to an elevation of 2000 metres in the Himalayan regions. Indians cook rice with anything and everything; with lentils, veggies, meat, fish, chicken and seafood. In addition, they have plain or spiced rice as a bed for curries and ground rice for making all kinds of pancakes like appams and dosas. Rice flour is also used for crisping savouries called pakoras. Most temples serve as prasadam (blessings) the Indian rice pudding called kheer or payasam. And then in many Himalayan states, from Ladakh to Sikkim, fermented rice is used for making the potent brew called chhang. In this background, this rice cookbook presents a total of 35 mouth-watering rice dishes, including 20 dishes where rice cookers can be used. There are eight plain rice recipes, five for cooking rice with lentils, five each for cooking rice with vegetables and meats, five ways to use rice in snacks and seven as desserts. There is no Chhang recipe, sadly because that is one dish that, as Prasenjeet says, is not made in his house! So What are you waiting for? Scroll up and grab a copy today!
