Instant Pot Indian: 70 Easy, Full-Flavor, Authentic Recipes for Any Sized Instant Pot

by Anupy Singla

Overview

Delicious, authentic Indian fare that’s quicker and easier than ever, with measurements for any sized Instant Pot.

Taking full advantage of the ease and convenience of the Instant Pot, bestselling cookbook author Anupy Singla has developed 70 Indian favorites you can make in minutes. Singla experimented with every size of Instant Pot to ensure that home cooks would get the full, delicious flavor in every recipe, every time. These no-guesswork recipes are simpler than their traditional counterparts and healthier than restaurant favorites, as they don’t require extra oil and fat. The “Indian Spices 101” chapter introduces readers to the mainstay spices of an Indian kitchen, as well as how to store, prepare, and combine them in different ways. Among these 70 recipes are all the classics—specialties like dal, palak paneer, and aloo gobi, as well as dishes like butter chicken, keema, and much more. And Singla’s clear, detailed instructions walk even the most timid cook through the process of using an electric pressure cooker. The result is a terrific introduction to healthful, flavorful Indian food made using the simplicity and convenience of the Instant Pot.
