After the success of her cookbooks’ Beyond Brilliant’ and ‘Dip in Brilliant’, celebrity chef Dipna Anand is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated release of her third culinary masterpiece, ‘Dipliciously Brilliant’.
In Dipna’s first book ‘Beyond Brilliant’ she took readers on a foodie journey of traditional authentic Indian cooking, including many of her grandfather’s recipes. She went onto publish ‘Dip in Brilliant’, a compilation of more traditional Indian and south Indian recipes which features some delightful and quirky family favourites such as, apple and cinnamon cupcakes, and Dipna’s mum’s spaghetti bolognese.
Dipna’s latest offering is her most exciting yet and is packed full of hearty, easy to prepare dishes infused with Indian flavours Dipna style! This talented chef has curated a selection of street food classics and retro recipes that became big hits amongst social media foodies during the lockdown period. The height of fusion cuisine, Dipna’s quirky creations include mouth-watering Tandoori Chicken Burgers, Fishfinger and Chilli Sandwiches, Keema Pappardelle Pasta, and Drunken Chicken Pakoras.
NEW recipes include:
- Falooda – an Indian milkshake drink and dessert made with rose syrup, milk, vermicelli, and basil seeds topped with a scoop of ice-cream or kulfi.
- Samosa Chaat Blast – an Indian street food at its very best, includes crushed samosa, lavished with home-made vegan chick-pea curry, topped with red onions, drizzled with seasoned yoghurt and tamarind chutney, and finished with Bombay mix, pomegranate pearls, coriander and crispy sev.
- Firecracker Paneer – spicy, sweet, sour, and tangy all at once – and that’s what makes this one a “banging dish”. The paneer can also be replaced with vegetables of choice, chicken, or prawns.
