Indian 101 by Karan Gokani

Following the award-winning Hoppers: The Cookbook, Indian 101 is Karan’s fresh, no-fuss guide to cooking proper Indian food at home.

Whether you’re a confident cook or just getting started, this book breaks down the incredible breadth of Indian cuisine into simple, flexible recipes made for modern kitchens and busy lives.

From the creamy coconut curries of the south to smoky tandoori grills, hearty northern favourites, the mustard-laced dishes of the east and the vegetarian treasures of Gujarat, Indian 101 is a passport to the real flavours of India.

Karan goes beyond clichés, offering a deeper, more personal take on regional home-style cooking, one that’s practical, intuitive and full of flavour.

Expect weekday-friendly dishes like Parsi Eggs on Potatoes or zesty Lemon Rice, as well as weekend centrepieces like Pork Vindaloo. You’ll also find clever shortcuts, air fryer hacks and easy ingredient swaps that make Indian cooking more accessible than ever.

Karan brings the same warmth and energy to Indian 101 as he did with Hoppers: The Cookbook, continuing his mission to make authentic Indian food a joyful part of everyday life.
