- Indian cuisine and Indian cinema (known as Bollywood) share much in common - bold colors and flavors with plenty of drama. But to the uninitiated, they can seem dizzying. Let Sri Rao be your guide. As one of the only Americans working in Bollywood, Sri is an expert of Indian musical films, and as an avid cook, he's taken his mom's authentic, home-cooked recipes and adapted them for the modern American kitchen. Whether you're new to Indian cooking or a die-hard fan, chances are you've never tasted real Indian food. Home-cooked Indian-American food is surprisingly simple to make, using ingredients readily available in your local supermarket. In this book you'll find dinner menus and brunch menus featuring savory meat and seafood recipes, as well as healthy vegan and gluten-free options. Along with each meal, Sri has paired one of his favorite Bollywood movies (available to watch online), packed with dazzling song-and-dance numbers. He introduces each film, explains why you'll love it, and lets you in on some juicy morsels from behind the scenes. Bollywood Kitchen is as much a beautiful coffee table book as it is a cookbook, filled with gorgeous film photographs and colorful tablescapes. It's a unique treasure for Indian food lovers and fans of world cinema alike. -- from back cover.
