Jevayla Ye – Everyday East Indian Recipes from Abby’s Hearth: Deluxe Indian Edition

When the East Indian Celebration Festive Recipes Cookbook was published in 2023, it transported readers to the kitchens of Mumbai’s indigenous East Indian Community. Requests soon came in for more recipes. This book, Jevayla Ye: Everyday East Indian Recipes from Abby’s Hearth, provides just that. This cookbook records Mom Astrid’s and Mama Catherine’s traditional recipes, handed down through word of mouth and handwritten notes, as well as some from other family and friends. While East Indians tend to cook without measurements, as a real labor of love, sister-authors Abby and Sarah Rebello have supplied them so anyone can make these dishes.
Featuring traditional favorites like pork vindaloo and duck moilee, as well as everyday recipes like bombil tel kanda (stewed fish) and fish khujit (a green curry), this cookbook includes meals for every occasion, from appetizers to dinner to dessert.
Here’s what’s inside:
195 recipes for every meal and any occasion.
Chapters cover Starters, Soups & Salads, Wine & Drink, Fish, Shellfish, Mutton, Beef, Vegetarian, Poultry, Pork, Offal, Bread & Rice, Pickles & Chutneys, Easter and Christmas dishes, Cakes, Desserts & Snacks, Meal Prep & Mixes, and more.
