The magic of a much loved London restaurant, in your own kitchen. Tamila is the first cookbook from Elavarasan “Prince” Durairaj, the chef behind The Tamil Prince, The Tamil Crown and Tamila. Prince grew up in Thanjavur in South India, and his recipes are Southern Indian dishes with a twist, from familiar favourites to fiery feasts.

The chapters run from dosa, thali, curries and grills to breads, chutneys, feasts, desserts and drinks, with meat, fish and vegetarian recipes to choose from. You can cook lime leaf roasted chicken or paneer butter masala, and the book shows you how to put together your own thali feast at home.

It’s a lovely gift for anyone who loves Indian food, a keen home cook, or someone who has queued for a table at one of Prince’s restaurants and wants to recreate it. It’s a good one to give at Christmas too. Delivered across the UK from our independent shop.
