Miss Masala

MISS MASALA has done the hard work in the kitchen so that you don't have to. So much more than just a cookbook, this essential, handbag-sized companion fuses irresistible Indian recipes with quirky and evocative narrative and will make ethnic cooking an effortless part of a glamorous goddess lifestyle. Bollywood finally meets Sex and the City -- alongside easy instructions for making succelent Ceylon chicken or the best shami kebabs, Mallika also shares witty anecdotes about her high-flying city life, and gives handy hints on how to cook a jalfrezi and still head to the bar an hour later without reeking of eau de curry. Anyone who aspires to the job, the image, the parties, and still wants to whip up a meal for friends and bask in the reflected glory will be clamouring for a copy. This is real Indian cooking for busy city living!

Beautifully designed with rich colours, scrapbook-style internals and lavish finishes, this stunning and utterly desirable book is the perfect gift for women everywhere, although most girls will want to keep it for themselves.
