Inspired by the trip her parents took on the Coromandel Express-from her mother's native Kolkata to her father's native Chennai-Rukmini Iyer recreates the cuisine of their travels for the harried home cook. Featuring 75 recipes, this book is the ultimate display of Iyer's skill for deliciously doable dishes. Aptly titled India Express, it lends the word "express" the dual meaning of evoking both a culinary tour of India by train, as well as the delightful speed and ease of the recipes. Bringing together family recipes and memories of home-cooked foods from her childhood, Iyer shares a repertoire of everyday vegan, vegetarian, and pescetarian dishes. From crispy-topped marinated sea bass and mango cardamom lassis to mini-naan pizzas and more, these dishes are perfect for quick and fuss-free weeknight meals that still capture the vibrant depth of South Asian flavors.
