There are certain cuisines that I think of as "going out" foods. I'm comfortable making a heavy rotation of Mexican, Japanese and Italian dishes in my own kitchen, in part thanks to easy access to authentic ingredients in my local supermarket. But Indian food has always felt a little daunting, given the limitation of both my skill set and pantry. Most days, it seems easier to just enjoy it done right from one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants.
That's why I couldn't have been more grateful for Maya Kaimal's gorgeous and reassuring new cookbook, "Indian Flavor Every Day." The entrepreneur and recipe developer describes herself as "dedicated to making Indian food that's accessible to Americans, but true to her roots," and that's exactly what she delivers in "Indian Flavor Every Day."
