 Madhur Jaffrey मधुर जाफरी, “Step-by-Step Cooking: Over 150 dishes from India & the Far East”, 2000 was the topic of an earlier blog post.  “Recipes Periodicity Table” also was the topic of an earlier blog post.    
  
Here I present:  Madhur Jaffrey, “Vegetarian India: A  Journey Through the Best of Indian Home Cooking”, 2014.

The recipe I like the most Madhur Jaffrey, “Vegetarian India”, 2014 is: “Hare Matar Ki Ghugni (Bihari Pea & Potato) हरे मटर की घुघनी    shown in the photographs.  ‘Bihari Pea & Potato” is a hearty, one-bowl meal for dinner.

The table above shows the percent of the 2063 pounds of food annually eaten by Americans.  The top percentage of 20.10% of food pound weight eaten annually is “Vegetables”.   “Recipes Periodicity Table” is a metabolites listing of common food compounds in this earlier blog post.   

The “Table of Contents” of: Madhur Jaffrey, “Vegetarian India: A  Journey Through the Best of Indian Home Cooking”, 2014 is shown below.

 1. “Soups, Appetizers &   Snacks”.

2.  “Vegetables”.

3.  “Dals”:  Dried Beans & Legumes.

4.  Grains:  Rice, Semolina, Quinoa, Breads, Pancakes, Savories & Noodles.

5.  “Egg & Dairy”.

6.  “Chutneys, Relishes & Salads”.

7.  “Drinks, Sweets & Desserts”.

 

“Mise en place” the French term in cookery meaning “put in place”.  This is a starting point cookery: all utensils, all ingredients, all everything… “mise en place”.  

Vegetarian recipes are in my opinion in need of “mise en place”.  Vegan cuisines of India use “mise en place”; meatless recipes which have “stunning” herbs & “dazzling” spices.   

“Mise en place” of the recipe in the kitchen is the recipe “beginning”.  ”Plating” of food as seen in the dining room is the “ending”.   .

Here I presented Madhur Jaffrey, “Vegetarian India: A Journey Through the Best of Indian Home Cookin”, 2014 a cookbook for vegetarians. This post depicted in “mise en place” the recipe for “Hare Matar Ki Ghungi (Bihari Pea & Potato) हरे मटर की घुघनी .
