Having moved back to India after 14 glorious years on board Cunard Ocean Liners, Chef Vicky Ratnani has set off on a quest to dig out, taste, experiment and record regional Indian food. Travelling the length and breadth of the country, as he unearthed an amazing plethora of little-known vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, delightful and exclusive family recipes from homes of friends and fans, a thought struck him – why not draw up his choicest regional Indian recipes, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian in The Urban Desi series. This book shows just how easy it is to dish up mouth-watering non-veg meals in the comfort of one’s home and hearth, using great spice blends and interesting ways to experiment with your favourite meat, poultry, fish and seafood.
