Royal feast affordable for everyone

We present to your attention 32 recipes for easy-to-prepare vegetarian dishes. For a wide audience of readers.

What do you expect, dear reader, from a cookbook? A kaleidoscope of exotic dishes that require a week to gather rare ingredients and then hours to construct intricate compositions? A set of standard dishes made from potatoes and stale bread? Or perhaps a herbarium of healthy salads made from dandelions, lamb's quarters, and other "wild foraged food"? We are sure it's none of the above. Most likely, you would agree that food should be simple - but without scarcity, a bit exotic - but without excess, and of course healthy - but without self-torture. This book is precisely about such food that you now hold in your hands. Its author, Vedapriya-devi dasi, has selected thirty-two recipes for you that, as the title of the book suggests, are indeed very tasty, original, and diverse, as well as easy to prepare and widely accessible. But most importantly - they do not contain products derived from the killing of animals and will therefore quickly improve your health, well-being, and even mood! The author has reduced the number of spices used and in some cases offers practical substitutes for them. For your convenience, all ingredients are listed in the order of their use in the recipe, and traditional Indian dish names are italicized.

At the end of the book, there is a description of some rare spices, as well as a method for preparing one of the frequently used components of Indian cuisine - ghee, which gives dishes an incredible aroma and enhances their nutritional value.
