Kari

“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

In Kari, Sheil Shukla takes the global pantry and filters it through his unique Indo-Asian American lens to craft versatile recipes that appeal to all.” —Andrea Nguyen, James Beard Award–winning author of the The Pho Cookbook and Ever-Green Vietnamese

“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

“Kari stands out for its blend of traditional Indian and South Asian dishes with contemporary American ones…making this an appealing, unexpected addition to all kinds of kitchens and tastes.” - Booklist
