"Shubhra's approach to Indian cuisine is easy, straightforward, and utterly delicious.

Fun, Fresh, and Colorful! Learn how to cook organic fruits and vegetables the Indian way, including many easy-to-make vegan and gluten-free dishes!

This vegetarian Indian cookbook by acclaimed author and caterer Shubhra Ramineni proves just how fun cooking with vegetables can be. It includes over 80 recipes showing you how to prepare fresh vegetables and fruits with flavorful Indian flare.

When Ramineni became a mother, one of her top priorities was to ensure that healthy and delicious home-cooked vegetarian meals would be a central part of her daughter's childhood experience. Her mother is a nutritionist and skilled Indian cook, so with her help, Ramineni set about transforming the seemingly bland vegetarian diet into the fantastic array of great-tasting meals and snacks in this vegetarian cookbook.

With a few Indian spices—like tumeric, ginger and cumin—in your pantry, along with this cookbook, you can effortlessly whip up flavorful dishes, like:

• Split Chickpea and Zucchini Stew
• Coconut Vegetable Curry with Tofu
• Tandoori Tofu Kebabs
• Vegetable Pilaf
• And over 75 more, with vegan and gluten-free modifications!
