Archana Nirad
Daisy lives in the beautiful city of Victoria BC, Canada. She has two sons (a teen and a tween) and is an IT professional by day. Missing the explosive flavors of North Indian street food from her years of living in India, she has recreated and incorporated those recipes into her repertoire. Archana is a mom to a teenage son and IT professional who calls Victoria BC home, having lived and worked in India and US. Her culinary skills have evolved over the years from boiling packaged noodles to cooking healthy and nutritious meals for her family.

Introduction
India is a multi-cultural country with over 20 main languages and as many regional cuisines. These cuisines vary significantly from one another and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables and fruits. Indian cuisine also has strong ties to religious and cultural choices, for example vegetarianism is a common dietary trend in Indian society.
Indian cuisine has evolved over several centuries assimilating nuances of the cuisines of foreign invaders, trade relations with other countries and colonization by the British, French and Portuguese.
As with any culture, food plays a large role in family, religious and cultural gatherings. We have always had a passion for food and were fortunate to grow up in homes where our mothers and aunts made delicious meals, daily for their families and elaborate meals in celebration of special events. Our own passion for cooking was fueled by our appreciation of these wonderful meals. The recipes in this book are the same recipes our moms have been cooking for 50 years - with a few modern updates by us!
Indian cooking is fresh, seasonal and always flavourful. This book is a collection of everyday recipes from the northern states of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh (The Northern State). The recipes in this book are a blend of every day meals and dishes for special occasions. This book includes many of the popular recipes from the two states such as pakoras, samosas, palak paneer, butter chicken, chicken masala, mango lassi and Indian chai.
A typical north Indian meal includes a lentil or meat dish, vegetables, roti and rice. These are the meals we enjoy with our families on a daily basis!
We hope this cook book lets you bring a little spice and excitement into your daily meals!
