Bindas: Comfort Food with an Indian Soul - Hardcover

by Mehak Kansal (Author)

'Bindas' means daring, carefree - a free spirit

At Bindas eateries in London, Mehak Kansal's bold food feeds the soul, layering flavours inspired by her Indian heritage, her travels, and her rural English upbringing. Her crowd-pleasing recipes are born out of childhood summers in India spent watching street-food vendors and then later her travels around the world picking up new flavor combinations and techniques.

If, like Mehak, you're someone who takes their food seriously and loves to feed people, you'll be blown away by Bindas. Bombay Cheese Toast, Paneer Tikka Burger, Mehak's bestselling Chicken Makhani, Masala Potato Skins and the amazing Chai-misu. This is vibrant, unexpected Indian food with a global outlook.
