Creative and unusual ingredient combinations abound, and the book is infused with the classic Bengali and South Indian flavours of curry leaf, Nigella seed, coconut, lime, and cardamom. Rukmini is also the author of The Green Barbecue, a collection of vegetarian and vegan barbecue recipes. They’ve transformed the cookery space in the UK, leading the one-tin, one-pot and one-pan revolution, and remain firm favourites among fans of maximum-flavour, minimum-hassle cooking.

India Express (Square Peg) is the latest cookbook from Rukmini Iyer who wrote The Roasting Tin series which has been a runaway success. There is a lot to choose from in this new cookbook which is timely because as the weather cools my mind and stomach turn to food that warms and comforts. Now, Iyer has written India Express, From Kolkata to Chennai, which is filled with 75 vegan, vegetarian and fish dishes. She is a die-hard Francophile – speaking French helps tremendously – but put her anywhere and she is happy.

As fans of Iyer’s previous books know, her recipes can be relied on to get dinner on the table with the minimum of fuss and washing up.

I used cod which is what I had in the fridge and it sat for a couple of hours until I was ready to cook.

Baked until the brioche is golden and crispy on top, this easy one-dish dessert is infused with cardamom and saffron, with pops of sweetness from the baked blackberries, and the crunch of slivered pistachios.

Keeping with her ethos of ‘minimum effort, maximum flavour’, these dishes are vibrant, achievable and moreish.

All of the above - which, together with more personal material than her previous work, makes India Express a must-have. Rukmini’s clever one-tin curries are some of our favourite recipes from her previous books, so we weren’t surprised to find more all-in-one recipes in India Express. I was intrigued to discover what flavours would develop with a quick turnaround of ingredients into a meal.
