Tarkari: Vegetarian and Vegan Indian Dishes with Heart and Soul (Hardback) - Rohit Ghai

The first cookbook from the Michelin-starred chef of Gymkhana, Jamavar and Kutir.

'Rohit is respectful of the traditions of Indian cooking, yet unafraid of innovation and refinement.' - Pierre Koffmann

With food inspired by India's incredibly rich and varied food scene, Rohit Ghai has gained a reputation for colourful, flavour-rich curries that showcase both classic and lesser-known Indian flavours. Tarkari, meaning 'vegetable' in Urdu, is Rohit's first book and similarly celebrates this diverse heritage - but on a more personal, homely note.

Packed with innovative vegetarian and vegan dishes, it pays homage to the food his parents ate. From creative starters like Malabar Cauliflower, to big, bold curries such as Jackfruit Masala and Lotus Root Kofta, as well as breads, rice, dips and pickles, it includes everything you need to cook truly spectacular Indian vegetarian and vegan meals at home.

About the Author

Rohit Ghai's love affair with food began in his mother's kitchen, in his native Punjab, India. He went on to study Indian cuisine at the Institute of Hotel Management in New Delhi, before perfecting his craft at esteemed hotel groups across the country. After moving to the UK, Rohit worked in and headed kitchens at some of London's leading Indian restaurants including Benares, Trishna, Gymkhana, Hoppers and most recently Jamavar and Bombay Bustle. Rohit is the first Indian chef to have won a Michelin star - for Jamavar within ten months of the restaurant's opening. In 2018, he launched his first solo London restaurant, Kutir.
