For as long as I can remember, people have carried this fixed idea that having Indian roots means eating traditional curry with roti for dinner every single night. But for those of us who grew up in first-generation British-Indian homes, our kitchens were always so much more fluid, creative, and exciting than that. They were places of pure resourcefulness, joy, and food without borders.
How to get Modern Masala
Enter: My new Indian vegetarian cookbook, Modern Masala: Ancestral Indian Flavours Remixed with Love.
That is exactly why I am so incredibly thrilled to finally share what I have been pouring my heart into. My second cookbook is officially ready, and you can secure your copy today!
What’s inside the book…?
Inside this new book, I have put together 75 spice-forward recipes inspired by my heritage but completely reimagined for the way we actually cook and live right now. I designed every page with busy lives in mind.
Everyday Indian cooking made easy
It is packed with clever shortcuts, my signature Simmer Cube Flavour Whooshes, and surprising combinations that make everyday cooking feel like an absolute joy rather than a chore.
This book is all about showing the true potential of Indian spices and how they can transform simple, everyday ingredients into total showstoppers. I wanted to create food that feels familiar yet entirely fresh.
Recipes you’ll love in Modern Masala
We’re talking about quick 30-minute weeknight meals like Gunpowder Spaghetti Aglio e Olio and a comforting Baked Beans Butter Masala. There are easy crowd-pleasers like One Tray Lime Pickle Paneer Fajitas, crispy Air Fryer Hasselback Sweet Potato Chaat, and a gorgeous, Not Too Sweet Rice Pudding topped with a crunchy Chikki Crumble.
A beautiful Indian cookbook to gift to friends and family
Every single recipe is accompanied by beautiful photography and pieces of my own personal story. It is an essential resource for anyone who wants to explore exciting, fresh cooking that stays connected to its roots while fitting perfectly into a busy lifestyle.
