With her new cookbook, Indian Flavor Every Day, she's seeking to change that. "Unlike when I was growing up, most of the key ingredients in Indian cuisine, like coconut milk, coconut oil, ghee, basmati rice, cilantro and fresh chilies, are now supermarket staples," says Kaimal, adding that she has limited the use of specialty ingredients that aren't essential to a tasty outcome. The result is flavor-packed Indian dishes that are easy to prepare and even easier to eat. Try one of these tonight!
