Day in day out I get queries from many troubled housewives, irritated young chefs as to what is Jain food and how to cook it?
Though many feel Jain food is nothing but vegetarian food without certain root vegetabes, there are very few who know Jainism involves much more rules.
My research team and I have gone through a lot of trial and error rounds of converting the garlic – onion based recipes to Jain recipes. Recipes like Malabari curry, Dal Makhani, Paneer Tikka Masala, Spicy Chole and Samosa Kadhi Chaat which were loaded with ginger-garlic and onion paste are for Jains to relish now.
So if you have Jain friends coming over for dinner or in-laws who are very particular about their Jain meal then this is the book for you.
