This title is a collection of vegetarian recipes from Kerala in Southern India. Das Sreedharan, owner of the award-winning Rasa restaurants, grew up in a small village in Kerla, and his memories of the simplicity, lightness and variety of the local food inform his recipes. Simple dishes such as ginger and chilli pickle, lemon rice, cheera spinach curry and tarka dal demonstrate that the exotic need not be intimidating or difficult. The title places its emphasis on home cooking with fresh and aromatic ingredients for healthy cooking.

Das Sreedharan was born in Kerala, southern India, a place that inspired his love of colourful, bold flavours. He opened the first of the acclaimed Rasa chain of restaurants in north London in 1994, and can regularly be seen in the media talking about Indian cookery.
