Mumbai Local: Cult Recipes from the Streets That Make the City

By Jessi Singh

The very best street-food recipes from Mumbai, India--a fragrant, bustling, and incomparably col-orful city, whose people are the masters of bold flavors.

As seen in this beautifully designed cookbook, Mumbai is a city practically bursting at the seams with incredible food and with people who love to eat it. Each city across the Indian subcontinent celebrates its own distinct flavors, but with Mumbai's cultural and economic promise attracting dreamers from across the country and beyond, the city boasts an intoxicating combination of Muslim, Gujarati, Goan, coastal, South Indian, Parsi, and of course local Maharashtrian influences.

Take a culinary tour, with recipes from the city's khau gallis or "snack alleys" such as local trademark vada pav (deep-fried potato dumplings in a bun--basically: Mumbai's burger) and the quintessential Bombay sandwich, along with street food from all over India (such as pani puri, dosa, samosas, and parathas); as well as the curries, thalis, and breadth of modern and traditional dishes served in restaurants and homes alike.

Mumbai is an explorer's dream and a food lover's paradise. Mumbai Local brings you seventy recipes for the dishes that define the city, so you can capture the magic of Mumbai at home.
