Wow I can’t believe it’s almost time for all of you to see my cookbook. This has been a roller-coaster ride.
Writing a book under any situation can be hard but when you do it right after losing your mom, it becomes all the more challenging. I was not sure if I was ready for the challenge but my husband, family and friends encouraged me to take the leap of faith and just do it.
Well 1.5 years later, the book is about to release and I can finally say that I am glad I did it!
I received the first copy of my book couple of weeks back and that feeling of holding your book in your hands cannot be described in words. I literally slept with my book for 2 days, it was just very hard to part ways with it!
I can’t believe that my first cookbook is about to release worldwide in just under a month!

Writing a cookbook or becoming an author was never my dream.
But life is full of surprises and I received one of the biggest surprises of my life when my publishers contacted me for this cookbook. It was such an honor and it has been truly an enriching experience.
This whole journey of writing a book taught me a lot, like how to be more organized, more focused and above all it taught me how to work hard and give your best under adverse circumstances. I am so thankful for this journey and also the opportunity.
This book would not have been possible without the support of my family, friends and my readers. I am eternally grateful to each one of you for being a part of this journey. I am also very thankful to my publishers who trusted me completely with this book.
I hope it lives up to everyone’s expectations. I am very grateful for all the support so far, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please continue to support me on this journey by pre-ordering the cookbook.

Hi Manali,
I would like to know how to steam modak in the instant pot. How long does it take to steam. Thanks!
Hi Uma, I haven’t tried that but when I do I will definitely share
Excited to see that there’s a recipe book specially for Indian vegetarian! Looking forward to having it!
hope you like it!
OMG! So awesome. Ordering now!
Hey! I’m happy to buy your book but I’d also like to download the recipes to my recipe manager app. (It’s called Paprika- you may have used it/ heard about it.)
Essentially, to get them to the app they first have to be in web form. What is the best way to do this?
What’s ‘Instant Pot’?
It’s an electric pressure cooker Shuga, you can read more about it here: https://instantpot.com/ It’s like traditional Indian pressure cooker but easier to handle and allows hand free cooking. My cookbook has Indian vegetarian recipes made in the Instant pot 🙂
My MIL & FIL are from Delhi. So, lot’s of traditional Indian cooking in our house. Tonight, I decided to cook your Vegetable Korma. I used Ghee for oil… it was absolutely off the chain. So delicious. Very healthy too, we use light coconut milk, and just a bit of Ghee…and followed the recipe. Devine. I will make this again for company! Thank you!
Hello. Do you have a lot of gluten free recipes in your new cookbook, or do a lot of them contain wheat? Thanks for letting me know.
Linda
Hi Linda! Majority of the recipes in this book are gluten-free. I haven’t counted but most of them will be gluten-free. If there’s hing (asafetida) used in the seasoning, just skip it and it will be all good.. Wheat is probably there in 5-6 recipes…hope that helps! 🙂
Can’t wait to your cookbook, congratulations
thank you Julie!
Hi, I am very happy regarding publishing a Indian food book for insta pot, I wish you Best of Luck,
