30 Minute Mowgli

Fast Easy Indian from the Mowgli Home Kitchen

INDIAN COOKING MADE EASY: Get spice-packed, punchy, and fresh Indian-inspired dishes that take you from couch to curry in 30 minutes or less!

The TV chef, restaurateur, and Mowgli Street Food author shows you how to cook speedy, easy, and flavorful Indian recipes—right in your own home.

This is the food Nisha Katona cooks at home: bold and delicious Mowgli-style recipes that you can get on the table in 30 minutes or less. Just like at her Mowgli restaurants, the focus is on food that’s big in flavor but also light, healthy, and made from accessible ingredients—often just using what’s already in your cupboard or fridge.

For super usability, the chapters are themed around ingredients: Poultry, Meat, Fish, Vegetables, Desserts, and "Ma, Look Away!" (for Nisha’s favorite pasta dishes). Tantalize your tastebuds with:

• Quick Angry Tandoori
• Yoghurt Coriander Turkey
• Gingerbread Lamb Steaks
• Keema Toasties
• Bengali Fish Curry
• Indian Fish Finger Sandwiches
• Back of the Fridge Curry
• Million Dollar Green Dahl

All the recipes are meals that range from light lunches to substantial dinners; all you need to do is accompany them with one of the simple sides suggested in the introduction—like rice, noodles, potatoes, or a chapati wrap. This is the food that real people want: tasty and nutritious meals you can whip up without fuss.
Nisha Katona MBE is a curry evangelist, the creator of the much-loved Mowgli restaurant chain, a food writer, TV and radio pundit and a former family law barrister. She can regularly be found sharing her passion for simple, honest cookery on the BBC, ITV and BBC Radio 4, and is the presenter of the Channel 4 series A Taste of Italy. She is the author of the bestselling Mowgli Street Food and two other previous books.
