As a busy working mom and

streamlining recipes. Now she helps readers demystify Indian ingredients and
techniques and answers many of the questions her students posed over the years
about different types of dal , spice combinations and the nuances of
regional Indian cooking. The recipes include both classic and modern Indian
fare, many with make-ahead sauces. She also utilizes short cuts and practical
equipment like the air fryer, pressure cooker and slow cooker in many recipes.
Sections like meal-planning cheat sheets and freezer friendly recipes help
reduce waste and make the most of fresh, seasonal vegetables and fruits.

Rinku's Spice Chronicles blog

New York her home. Links and references to the blog, social media posts and
even TikTok videos will give readers a fuller sense of the culinary story and
