Beyond Brilliant: Inspired Indian Cooking

Product Information

I really think these bits of information really add to the recipes of the book as it helps you understand where the passion comes from, passion to me is very important when it comes to food and cooking. Dipna’s brother has been in the restaurant for 10 years as well as working hard in the restaurant he is working on finding new new clients and bringing in new business. And if anyone can succeed in this mission, it’s Dipna Anand… As the third generation of a family of chefs, Dipna has cooking in her blood.

Onion Bhajis are very popular especially in North Punjab region and most favorite appetizer in my family too, that’s the main reason I choose this item.The book brings a brilliant modern healthy twist to Indian cooking, and is beyond brilliantly the first cross over Indian book I have read switching from restaurant cookery to home cookery. There is then a section on the Brilliant Restaurant where you can read about Dipna’s farther Gulu Anand and the restaurants head chef Jasvinderjit Singh. Currently, she is on mission to promote healthy Indian food around the world through TV series, cookbook and Air Channel. It was followed up by number one bestsellers "Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas" and "Undoctored".

I love the style of writing and explaining about experiences, career, recipes and more about family. This book is so useful I have since booked to attend 3 of the restaurant's cookery courses, where the author, Dipna Anand, and her father guide everyone through your the menu and you pick up even more tips whilst getting a chance to cook your own food in the restaurant's tandoor oven. The book tells the story of Chef Dipna Anand's family restaurant and catering legacy through recipes, most of which date back to the 1950's. I've been trying to learn how to make proper north Indian food for a couple of years and feel like this might be a bit of a turning point. If I lived in London I'd be signed up to take the authors cookery course and visit the restaurant to try the real food and hopefully get my book signed!He is also one of the UK's bestselling children's authors, with "Kay's Anatomy" the fastest-selling nonfiction kids' book of the decade. I really would recommend checking out Beyond Brilliant if you want to learn how to make tasty authentic Indian dishes from a family that has a real passion for the food they produce. It's instructions are easy to follow, ingredients lists not vast and intimidating and it's beautiful to look at and a pleasure to read!

Dipna showcases her secret family recipes created by her grandfather Beyond Brilliant which includes authentic Punjabi recipes from the kitchens of her restaurant as well as a few of her own unique and creative recipes. I have never really tried to make any Indian myself, I was always a bit scared to do a curry as I thought they would be very complicated with the wide variety of spices. Now, thanks to Dipna's expert guidance, the Brilliant's food has been brought into the 21st century, with a strong emphasis on healthy ingredients and low-fat techniques.Add red chili, salt, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin seeds, coriander powder, and baking soda and pomegranate seeds and mix again thoroughly. Whether you're looking for some textbooks for university, the latest biography or a travel guide - you'll find what you need in our categories. The recipes are easy to follow with the spices grouped together and I love all the illustrations and the story behind the wonderful Anand family. Generally people grind the mint coriander and spices with yoghurt but in this recipe, Dipna add the mint and coriander paste in fresh yogurt and serve with savory items. Here is one recipe which I tried at home from her new book “Beyond Brilliant”, Onion Bhajis (Punjabi Pakoras) with minty yogurt chutney.
