Internationally renowned chef and award-winning author Asma Khan returns with a masterclass on building flavour in your cooking through the intuitive principles of Indian cookery. Structured around the six core ayurvedic tastes, namely: Tangy, Bitter, Hot, Sweet, Sour, and Salty and how they correlate to the six seasons in Bengal, this book aims to illuminate Indian cookery by giving you the foundations you need to build balanced flavours, dishes and sumptuous feasts. With core techniques including roasting, grinding and tempering spices, how to cook with ghee, chillies, and onions, and what to add and when to re-balance flavours in a dish, Asma will empower homecooks to apply fundamental processes intuitively to their cooking.
