Enter our US/UK giveaway to win one of two copies of Monsoon: Delicious Indian Recipes for Every Day and Every Season by Asma Khan. Please note Asma's events that we have shared on our Calendar.

“The soul of my cooking is the symphonic layering of vibrant flavours that work together like instruments in an orchestra.” – Asma Khan
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 home cooks to apply fundamental processes intuitively to their cooking.
Our
takes you inside this title and features the following 

- Bell peppers with crumbled paneer (Shimla mirch paneer tarkari)
- Spicy, tangy white peas (Chotpoti)
- Pumpkin with garlic yogurt (Kadoo ka raita)
- Lamb kabab (Jali kabab)
I just received this book a day ago and have not had a chance to cook anything from it. As with all of Asma's books, the book is beautiful with lovely photographs and interesting headnotes. Throughout the book she has shared menu suggestions and she stresses that the recipes are just guides. "The best recipes, I feel, are the ones you create yourself by tweaking my instructions to satisfy your own taste."
