5 Things about Vegan Richa's Indian Kitchen Cookbook you should know! + Signed Copies Giveaway!

I am super excited!!!! and grateful! I got my copies of the book and it has started shipping as you read this! 6 days to release date!

It has been almost a whole year of hard work. I was so apprehensive about how it will work out, how the recipes will be liked by the testers, how it will get tied together. So many edits, photography, days when I thought I wouldn’t be able to read another page, and now it is all printed!

If you love what I do, if you have made my recipe and loved it, if you love the photos I take, and love the amazing food, you need to order your copy today (Available Internationally)! If you already ordered, THANK YOU! Know that you are supporting me and some wonderful charities. 

Exclusive Sneak Peak into The Book !

Watch it in HD! If the video above is not visible, watch it on youtube here.. 

There is a scientific reason that Indian food feels insanely delicious to many. The spices and flavors that don’t necessarily feel complementary are often used to give the final dish a complex flavor profile. It is radical and mesmerizing! And made accessible in the book!

Whether you are Vegan or not, Indian or not, and simply want to eat some delicious food, this book can find a home on your shelf. 

If you love the recipes on the blog, you will love Vegan Richa’s Indian Kitchen

  • The book has 150 + recipes for everything from Breakfast, Appetizers, Small Plates, Vegetable Sides, One Pot Meals, Mains, Flat breads, and Desserts!
  • With 90+ gorgeous photos!
  • There are brand new recipes and some blog favorites (15 or so). 
  • All the recipes fall into one of 3 categories, they already are gluten-free, they have gluten-free options, or have a gluten-free recipe for the same thing in the book (for eg. regular Naan and gluten-free Naan are listed as 2 different recipes.)
  • Almost all recipes except two can be made soy-free. In general most are by default soy-free. 
  • Most recipes are also kid -approved as they were tested by my testers’ fabulous kids!
  • This is the Only Vegan Indian Cookbook by a Vegan.
  • Make innumerable variations of the recipes. Use one of the 3 veggie balls/koftas with any of the 20+ Main sauces, use vegetables or beans of choice with any of the sauces, use other lentils in the 25+ dals!
  • Everything is savory except the dessert section.

And it’s also so gratifying knowing that such a generous percentage of the proceeds will go toward protecting animals. Thank you so much for all you do. -Lisa

    Congrats Richa!! So excited for you! Everything you said in this post was right on! I highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone…I don’t say this often about cookbooks, but I was surprised at how easy the dishes were to make. Despite some of the longer ingredient lists, they were quick, and your instructions were very simple, and the outcome was delicious! Yummy Mango Curry…can’t wait to write a review on my site!

    Richa, I just placed my first EVER post on my Instagram (4fabulouspics) of your post. After preordering a
    Kindle copy on Amazon.. I would love to have a hard copy!!! Nothing like spiced up cookbooks
    In a kitchen. The pages will be memories for my daughter when she becomes the cook in her home. She had Indian food in the womb! We both love it! Can not wait to try your naan.
