Spice-packed, punchy, fresh Indian-inspired dishes to get on the table in 30 minutes or under. This is the food that Nisha Katona, TV chef and creator, and face of the Mowgli Indian restaurants, cooks at home - super speedy, made with easily sourced ingredients, and delivering big, bold flavours.

Indian Cooking Made Easy - Get spice-packed, punchy, and fresh Indian-inspired dishes that take you from couch to curry in 30 minutes or less!

The TV chef, restaurateur, and Mowgli Street Food author shows you how to cook speedy, easy, and flavourful Indian recipes right in your own home.

This is the food Nisha Katona cooks at home - bold and delicious Mowgli-style recipes that you can get on the table in 30 minutes or less. Just like at her Mowgli restaurants, the focus is on food that's big in flavour but also light, healthy, and made from accessible ingredients - often just using what's already in your cupboard or fridge.

For super usability, the chapters are themed around ingredients - Poultry, Meat, Fish, Vegetables, Desserts, and "Ma, Look Away!" (for Nisha's favourite pasta dishes). Tantalise your tastebuds with:

  • Quick Angry Tandoori
  • Yoghurt Coriander Turkey
  • Gingerbread Lamb Steaks
  • Keema Toasties
  • Bengali Fish Curry
  • Indian Fish Finger Sandwiches
  • Back of the Fridge Curry
  • Million Dollar Green Dahl

All the recipes are meals that range from light lunches to substantial dinners; all you need to do is accompany them with one of the simple sides suggested in the introduction - like rice, noodles, potatoes, or a chapati wrap. This is the food that real people want - tasty and nutritious meals you can whip up without fuss.
