## Description

HALF A MILLION COPIES SOLD GLOBALLY A New York Times Magazine Cookbook You Need * A Food52 Best Cookbook of the Year "A love letter to Bombay told through food and stories, including their legendary black daal." - Yotam Ottolenghi At long last, Dishoom share the secrets to their much sought-after Bombay comfort food: the Bacon Naan Roll, Black Daal, Okra Fries, Jackfruit Biryani, Chicken Ruby and Lamb Raan, along with Masala Chai, coolers and cocktails. As you learn to cook the comforting Dishoom menu at home, you'll also be taken on a day-long tour of south Bombay, peppered with much eating and drinking. You'll discover the simple joy of early chai and omelette at Kyani and Co., of dawdling in Horniman Circle on a lazy morning, of eating your fill on Mohammed Ali Road, of strolling on the sands at Chowpatty at sunset or taking the air at Nariman Point at night. This beautiful cookbook and its equally beautiful photography will transport you to Dishoom's most treasured corners of an eccentric and charming Bombay. Read it, and you will find yourself replete with recipes and stories to share with all who come to your table. "This book is a total delight. The photography, the recipes and above all, the stories. I've never read a book that has made me look so longingly at my suitcase." - Nigel Slater

Review: This is much more than an exceptional cookbook - This was a wonderful read. The recipes are outstanding, but it’s also a fun, detailed travelogue, a history lesson, and a love letter to the city of Bombay. I truly enjoyed reading the stories, and if I closed my eyes, I could envision the sights, sounds, and aromas of the city’s food. Sure, it is romanticized, but so what? I’m not likely to find my way on the city streets at my advanced age, so I am happy to experience the city vicariously. I learned about the various ethnic groups that built the city and keep it running throughout its lengthy history, all of whom contribute to the incredibly vast variety of foods on offer. Even if you are not interested in the city or its peoples, stay for the recipes. Every single one I’ve made has been outstanding. Even the simplest recipes are incredibly delicious and satisfying. The black dal, for example, seemed impossibly simplistic. I was skeptical that just a few spices and some dal would be tasty, but it blew me away. The careful cooking, the dedicated stirring, precise timing all came together to make a smoky, complex, highly savory meal with some chapati. It did take 6 hours to cook, but you didn’t have to watch the pot every second. The meat dishes and seafood were equally delicious. The ruby chicken and lamb salli boti are recipes to make when you want to impress guests, or you want to be good to yourself and your family. The recipes are not difficult, but they are not all quick meals to make when you come home tired and hungry after a very bad day. But they are deeply satisfying and will nourish your soul along with your body. There are plenty of simple but delicious meals, but the longer, slow cooked ones really made me love this book. Don’t pass up the breakfast and afternoon tea recipes, because they are also gems.
Review: Million Stars - Amazing book! Exquisite production, photos and FANTASTIC writing and recipes - I wish I could give this book a million stars! This book exceeds my high standards/ expectations by a million percent because I didn't know anyone was producing a book like this. What a thrilling and total surprise. I've never seen a cookbook like this - and so beautifully designed and put together - and the printing in Italy is just gorgeous. The writing is just such a huge pleasure. So beautifully wrought. Stories, photographs, a large sized map of Bombay, charm, charm, charm. The recipes are delicious and approachable... I haven't tried the more complex yet because I just got the book! The book has a good selection of recipes requiring more or less preparation time - or, as I think of it, with some for weekdays and others for the weekend. I love this book so much already. It has recipes for all my favorites too and a bunch of things I've not had yet! Love!!! Thank you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Right up there with the Julia Child Cookbook for French food
*by I***T on January 26, 2025*

This is THE Mumbai cookbook. Literal standard bearer for cookbooks. It’s not pedantic or complicated with weird English. Just (short) interesting stories, beautiful photographs and PERFECT recipes. Meaning the measurements and directions are so on point and accurate. You can not mess it up which is important given how many expensive ingredients Indian food has. Americans should buy Anchor Hocking glass measuring cups (4 cup and 2 cup) when you buy this. It will have liters and grams printed alongside the ounces which will take all the thinking out of the British measurements. You can just measure like you normally would. Whenever my “Angrezi” friends (white) ask for an Indian recipe or cookbook, this is the one. Clear, concise, accurate and DELICIOUS. Printed in Italy, this is the book to have when it comes to Indian cooking. Bear in mind India is a very big country/sub continent and these are not all encompassing. No butter chicken type stuff. But I would go so far as to compare this to the Julia Child cookbook for French cooking, it’s a must have in this day and age of internet recipes, you will actually use this one to look things up and will not need to sift through reviews to find the best one. Especially the desserts; Indian desserts are complicated and these are perfectly authentic and explained. We’ll worth the money.
