Lets go over the chapters, my faves and the TOC, Tips distributed in between, and Giveaway at the End of the post. As with my first book 40% of my earning gets donated to various Charities listed in the book.
Chapter 1 Peanut Butter & Coconut
When in a jiffy, I always make some PB sauce dishes. My faves are the Lentils in PB Sauce(of course!), Green curry fried rice (so vibrant!), Massaman Curry! Can’t eat peanuts, no worries, use my Peanut-free & Nutfree Peanut Sauce from the chapter. Options for Everyone!
Chapter 2 Sweet and Sour
Crispy Orange Cauliflower, Sweet and sour Tofu (pan fried with a few tsp of oil), Manchurian noodles, kung pao lentils, Teriyaki Lentil Balls oh yeah! So many Takeout meals in this chapter but without the deep frying. Refreshing and Delicious!
Tips:
- Most of the sauces are freezer friendly, so make ahead to reduce active time.
- Many recipes use veggies that you can always chop ahead and store. I chop up some onion, ginger, garlic, chili, peppers over the weekend as they are usually the base component in many Indian and other recipes.
- Premake or use premade ingredients like pizza sauce, red curry paste, pizza dough etc
- Read the recipe once entirely before proceeding. Once you cook a few recipes from the book, the flow gets easier and reduces the prep and active times.
- a bit of planning goes a long way!
Chapter 3 Masala & Saag
I mean, literally everything is a fave from this chapter. I will always be partial to Indian food and the next fave is Ethiopian. Lentil balls with Masala sauce and Ethiopian Jackfruit and lentil wot are a stand out. The curried Noodles are super quick fave. All of the sauces are freezer friendly. Always have masala sauces in the fridge!

Chapter 5 Burgers, Sandwiches, Loafs
The whopper Pecan Mushroom lentil burgers(so much flavor), Brown Chickpea jackfruit burgers (so hearty), Chickpea BBQ loaf, and the seed-full Quinoa bbq patties (no Beans). Mmmm.. Most patties can be made gluten-free, serve with gluten-free bread or wraps. The patties can be made into loafs and the loafs can be made into patties!
Review:
Chapter 6 Bowls and Hands
Jalapeno popper dip Wraps, Chickpea Veggie stew with baharat (so good), The buddha bowl with Nacho spiced Sweet potatoes(hell yeah!), Crispy Smoky Lentils with creamy greens bowl(so addictive). So much texture and Flavor!
Chapter 7 Deep Dishing
Are you ready for a gooey cheesy Deep deep dish pizza? With from scratch Mozzarella and your own pizza sauce (or use premade), Spinach Alfredo Pizza or make a sandwich melt!, Smoky Mac bake, Spinach artichoke Lasagna (all have nut-free options!). Once you have some of the components ready, the pizzas and bakes come together fairly quickly.
Chapter 8 Breakfast for Lunch
Frittatas (no tofu!), Chickpea chilaquiles, Samosa stuffed french toast is where its at. This chapter is all savory brunches. Some sweet options are in the Dessert Chapter.
Tips:
Many of the recipes are also very kid friendly as reported by all of you who have been cooking from the book. Adjust the heat as needed by reducing cayenne, black pepper, hot sauce and green chilies. Spices and herbs can change in flavor as they age, add more or less to preference when you taste.
Chapter 9 Sweet Note
Almond Butter Cheesecake Brownies, Blondies, Cupcakes, Tiramisu Fudge Bars! yuhum. And for a lighter fare, try the Lemon Chia Pudding, Seedy Chocolate Snack Bars!
Review:
Chapter 10 is some basics
The 20 min pizza dough is super quick. The Gluten-free pizza dough works out wonderfully as well. Can’t find good gluten-free tortillas or wraps? make the soft pliable gluten-free flatbread from this chapter.
Chapter 11 is Pantry, Tools and Index of Recipe groups based on Soy-free, Gluten-free, Nut-free!

The Makhani Sauce from the Gobi Musallam recipe, brought a new warmth into our home. It changed my kitchen forever. I couldn’t be more thankful for this shared space full of love for food and passion. Thank you for sharing your recipes and carrying on tradition. What a beautiful thought, that this knowledge will be passed on endlessly through time.
I’ve loved so many recipes from your first cookbook, but my favorite I made recently is Vegetable Jalfrezi—so smoky and delicious.
The kings pao lentils are my favorite lentil recipe!!
I love your recipes! I’ve made the lasagna soup several times, everyone who tries it loves it. And we just st had the lentils and veggies in peanut sauce last night ( and also today’s lunch. And dinner.) Everything I’ve tried has so much flavor. 😁
Love the marble pumpkin chocolate loaf and I love that Richa offers so many tips for making recipes nut-free, gluten-free, etc. It makes cooking allergy friendly meals for my family much easier 😁
❤The Whopper mushroom pecan lentil burgers! 😊
Your sweet potato burgers are the best, Richa. Veggie burgers are my favorites & every burger/veggie patty recipe on your blog is delicious! Congrats on that anniversary !
Hello,
A very impressive table of contents, I have your Indian Kitchen book (and have bought a couple of copies for Friends who have enjoyed the meals I have prepared from it), it gets used frequently.
This book is one I will have to pick up, the Crispy Sweet and Sour Tofu sounds very tasty, and a perfect dish for company, (or if I am not in a sharing mood – then just for me..)
This book looks amazing!
I really loved the Palak Tofu Paneer recipe. It’s quick and easy and truly delicious. And I am looking forward to making the Mushroom Matar Masala soon.
I’d love a copy! I live in Germany. We recently tried the vegan lemon cookies with chia seeds and they were so addicting! My kids loved them too and next time we will definitely have to make a double batch! Thank you!
