Opis

This is real Indian food; the bright, fresh, light, herb- and spice-lifted food that Indians eat in their own homes. Extremely healthy, often vegan, and packed with fresh flavour, it's not your parents' Indian food.

In 2014, barrister Nisha Katona had a nagging obsession to build a restaurant serving the kind of food Indians eat at home and on the street. The first Mowgli restaurant opened in Liverpool in late 2014, blowing away the critics forming legions of fans.

The simple dishes of a Mowgli menu are a million miles away from the curry stereotype. These dishes convey the truth that real Indian food is extremely healthy, often vegan, and always packed with fresh flavour. She gave up her 20 year career as a full time barrister to build Mowgli Liverpool and opened Manchester Mowgli less than a year later. Nisha, a dedicated curry evangelist, has fond hopes for Mowgli's growth and she still hand trains each new Mowgli chef.

From the Mowgli Chip Butty to the iconic Yoghurt Chat Bombs, Mother Butter Chicken to Calcutta Tangled Greens, this is the definitive collection of over 100 of Mowgli's signature street food dishes to recreate at home.

Recenzje

Highlights such as the fiery gunpowder chicken and the rich Maa s lamb chops served on fried potatoes are comfortably in the Dishoom class...and the service is of unparallelled loveliness
