Indian family food with heart - the mouthwatering new cookbook from Asma Khan, founder of the iconic Darjeeling Express

These dishes will bring warmth to your kitchen when you need a meal or dish to share with your family and friends - from quick-and-easy Baghare Aloo and Shahi Paneer, a vegetarian staple all ages love, to Ammu's Chicken Biriyani the much-requested Darjeeling Express favourite.

With over 100 recipes, easy-to-follow instructions and a photograph for every dish Ammu is an essential book for anyone wanting to make Indian comfort food at home.

'This is the food I cook for my family every day, meals to restore and nourish. I give these recipes to you, with love.' - Asma
