With Love & Masalas: Everyday Indian Recipes from My Kitchen to Yours

Culinary entrepreneur Barkha Cardoz warmly welcomes home cooks of all abilities with her debut book, With Love & Masalas: Everyday Indian Recipes from My Kitchen to Yours. Pair it with our Cardoz Masalas for the total package!

Sharing over 30 recipes treasured in the Cardoz family home, Barkha guides readers through creating satisfying, full-flavored dishes for busy weeknight dinners and celebratory feasts.

Each recipe — from aromatic curries to chewy breads to super-fresh chutneys — is peppered with friendly instructions that instill fun and confidence into each step. Divided into meat and fish dishes, vegetarian dishes, rice and dal, chutneys, breads, desserts, and beverages, the cookbook shares how to mix and match dishes into one dynamic spread. Many are naturally vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. All are marked with Barkha’s personal heat index — the spiciest recipes are only moderately spicy.

Many recipes (but not all!) feature Barkha’s signature masalas, developed with her late husband, the renowned chef Floyd Cardoz. They add tons of flavor and fragrance while shortcutting flavoring and cooking times. Like her warm and welcoming spice blends, With Love & Masalas is a companion for home cooks looking to simplify weeknight dinners or spice up special occasions.
