ABOUT:

Basu, whose grandfather was the Indian politician Jyoti Basu, arrived in London from India at 18 to do a Master’s degree and started cooking Indian food for herself. She started her blog in 2006 to blow away some myths about Indian cooking. She is now a high-flying public relations director and a spectacular home-cook on the side. Quick Indian Cooking gets 20,000 unique hits per month. HarperCollins have published her first cookery book, Miss Masala, which shows you how to combine cooking good Indian food with a busy social life.

BLOG SNIPPET:

“My mantra is this: You don’t have to slave over a hot cooker all day to cook an Indian meal. This blog is my way to spread the love for Indian cooking to all those who wrongly think it’s too difficult, time consuming or greasy.”

READ IF:

You need to add some spice to your cooking but are rather intimidated by the spice section at your local supermarket.
