A culinary journey from India, through Asia, and to America, featuring creative curries, sauces, rice dishes, and more, from the author of James Beard Award–nominated Plant-Based India.

In Sheil Shukla’s first cookbook, Plant Based India, he presented the plant-based Indian recipes of his Gujarati heritage. In Kari, he explores what a “curry” actually is, with reimagined Indian dishes infused with flavors and techniques from Asia to America and beyond.

Kari’s plant-based recipes redefine Indian cuisine as we know it, with dishes that incorporate Thai, Korean, Japanese, and even Italian influences and use ingredients easily found in kitchens throughout the United States. The creative curries make storebought simmer sauces an afterthought.

Each creative sauce is accompanied by two additional recipe variations to make the most of your time in the kitchen; make the Makhani Sauce, then use it in the Japanese-inspired Tofu Katsu Makhani, and save any leftover sauce to make Makhani Nachos. The stews and grains range from classics like Fluffy Basmati Rice to unique dishes like French Lentils with Lemon and Rosemary Tadka. This book also features breads, drinks, and desserts to accompany the curries and create a complete meal. These are Indian recipes that you’ve never seen before, in this groundbreaking exploration of what it means to bring cultural traditions together through food.

Reviews for Kari: Reimagined Plant-Based Indian Recipes

“Studded throughout with the author's beautiful photos, Kari is a stunning journey into plant-based Indian-inspired cuisine that demonstrates how delicious, gorgeous, and beloved a nutritious diet can be.” —Joanne Lee Molinaro, James Beard Award–winning and New York Times–bestselling author of The Korean Vegan Cookbook “It’s hard to pick what’s most special about Kari. Is it Sheil’s clever ‘one sauce, two ways’ approach to weeknight Indian cooking? His marriage of traditional Indian spices with seasonal produce? Or the stunning photography? Luckily, you don’t have to choose!"" —Nisha Vora, New York Times–bestselling author of Big Vegan Flavor “Kari feels like walking into an art gallery, where every page showcases the beauty of nourishing, culturally rooted food while remaining approachable and practical. It’s a valuable resource that blends culture and creativity, making plant-based eating exciting, achievable, and nourishing, even on your busiest days.” —Catherine Perez, New York Times–bestselling author of Peaceful Kitchen “The artistry in Kari is undeniable! The photography alone will stop you in your tracks. Every page shows how beautifully (and inventively!) Indian cooking can influence, and be influenced by, the world around it. It's fresh, veg-heavy, and flavor-forward!” —Hetal Vasavada, author of Desi Bakes “The unique way these recipes are organized is absolutely brilliant. Sheil not only shares delicious curry sauces, but empowers us to use them in creative and innovative ways that ultimately makes cooking more freeing and fun.” —Pailin Chongchitnant, creator and author of Hot Thai Kitchen
