Five stars just for alllll of the things I would like to make. I'm excited to try a bunch of the recipes and was super happy she had a lot of items with Okra, my favorite veg :)

Absolutely the single best cookbook she's written, IMHO. Unavailable except in print. I understand it was the basis for a BBC cooking series. Clearly, recipes she's traditionally gone to at home. It is my go-to for Indian cuisine.
