Vaghaar: A Gujarati Cookbook is a selection of more than 70 easy-to-follow Indian recipes that can be achieved in a home kitchen. Author Alissa Lad has compiled some of her favourite family dishes, largely reflective of her Gujarati heritage, but with modern inspiration and flavors.



Vaghaar is the technique of tempering spices to create a layer of flavour which is the foundation of every homemade curry. In her cookbook, Lad offers readers the culinary foundations and confidence to try their hand at some new flavours or techniques with these simple yet delicious dishes anyone can make at home.



Divided into chapters on starters and snacks, curries, breads, desserts, condiments and drinks, Vaghaar includes traditional Gujarati meals like Ringan Pailra nu Shaak (Aubergine & Potato Curry) and Buttery Jeera Chicken, as well as Indian favourites such as Samosas, Daal and Biryani, as well as contemporary flavour fusions like Keema Scotch Egg and Masala Shakshuka.
