The Chakh Le India Cookbook

Aditya Bal grew up in a family which ran a hotel in idyllic Kashmir, watching his maternal grandmother rustle up delicious meals and bake most passionately. After an extremely successful modeling career spanning 8 years and a short stint in Bollywood, Aditya decided to head to Goa to pursue what he did best: cooking. A chance meeting with NDTV Good Times gave his culinary skills a new direction and today he is one of the most celebrated anchor-chefs on Chakh Le India, the most popular food show on the channel.



Aditya s wanderlust for local and most celebrated cuisines from across India took him to the bustling towns of Punjab, the cultural hub of Bengal, Goa his most favourite food destination and several others. The result was Amritsari Paneer Bhurji, Kosha Mangsho, Goan Prawn and Mango Ambotik, Malabari Prawn curry and Moru Sambhar, amongst many other mouthwatering creations! A foodie s delight, the recipes in this book, spanning meat, chicken, fish & seafood, and vegetarian dishes as well as an array of snacks and sweets are not only simple to try but also promise a complete and delectable feast celebrating what is wonderfully Indian.
