Sanjeev Kapoor's Khana Khazana
















Sanjeev Kapoor is one of India's most popular chefs and author. The book is the first in the series called "Khana Khazana: Celebration of Indian Cookery" which has been planned in order to familiarize food lovers with long forgotten regional cuisines of India. These recipes will open the doors to the unexplored range of recipes that had been relegated to the archives. A lot of painstaking research has gone into collecting these recipes.
Each state and region included in this book has its own cuisine and local flavour. In this book the author introduces a variety of dishes that have been perfected by our ancestors. At the same time care has been taken to ensure that the ingredients used are easily available and if not, a substitute has been suggested. Chettinad Fried Chicken, Kombdi Wada, Chingri Malai Curry, Rayalseema Pesarettu, Kolhapuri Pandhra Rassa, Kesari Rajbhog, Khajoori Shahi Tukra are just a glimpse of the fabulous tongue tickling recipes you will find between the two covers of this book. They will not only bring in India's diversity into your home kitchens but also help you to satiate the best of gourmet palates.
‘Khana’ means dinner and lunch ‘Khazana’ means a big container of gold or money. Therefore I think it is grate combination of two names. When you try his dishes, probably you would also say “wow, it is real Khana Khazana”.
In addition, my sister suggest me some more books of Sanjeev Kapoor.
1. Any Time Temptations (especially for snack, starter, salad soup, pudding, sandwiches, and deserts)
2. Best of Chinese Cooking (especially for rice, noodles, vegetables, soups, chicken, lamb, rice, and noodles)
3. Italian cooking (pizzas, risottos and pasta including lasagne, cannelloni and ravioli)
4. Thai Cooking (fragrant Chicken in Green Curry, crisp prawn Firecrackers, crunchy Green Papaya Salad, spicy Massaman Mutton Curry, scented Jasmine Rice and velvety Coconut Custard)
Even you can ‘Google it’ by writing Sanjeev Kapoor’ recipes. There are so many videos available for different and tasty recipes. If the videos are available in Indian languages you can read ingredient that in English and you can get some idea by watching video.
