A heart-warming cookbook of comforting aromatic Indian flavours, from Asma Khan of Darjeeling Express and Netflix fame.

The Times Cookbook of the Year 2022

'Asma Khan... is one of the most articulate, powerful voices in the world of food, and this book is her masterpiece... More than a cookbook, this is a meditation on the power of food to nourish and heal.' - Bee Wilson, The Times

'An entrancing book' - Nigella Lawson

Indian family food with heart - the mouthwatering new cookbook from Asma Khan, founder of the iconic Darjeeling Express.

This book is a joyful celebration of the universal power of food to restore and to comfort. It is a tribute to Ammu, Asma's mother, to the simple home cooking from her kitchen in Calcutta, and an exploration of the inextricable link between food and love.

These dishes will bring warmth to your kitchen when you need a meal or dish to share with your family and friends - from quick-and-easy Baghare Aloo and Shahi Paneer, a vegetarian staple all ages love, to Ammu's Chicken Biriyani, the much-requested Darjeeling Express favourite.

With over 100 recipes, easy-to-follow instructions and a photograph for every dish, Ammu is an essential book for anyone wanting to make Indian comfort food at home.

'This is the food I cook for my family every day, meals to restore and nourish. I give these recipes to you, with love.' - Asma
