My Review
Having followed the recent rise in popularity of the Instant Pot, an electric pressure cooker, the only thing which put me off, to be honest, was the price. However, if you love authentic Indian cuisine then by following the recipes in this book it could soon pay for itself.
I loved the information about the different regions and the use of different spices. The book has some lovely photos to give you an idea of what the end product should look like. More importantly, it breaks the time down into different sections eg preparation time, cooking time, sauce preparation time etc as well as having sections for vegan and gluten-free.
All in all, it's a culinary guide to India with some great recipes as a bonus.
