A James Beard- and IACP award-nominated writer, Chandra brings a unique blend of culinary and editorial expertise, along with endless personal warmth to everything she does \u2014 including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/robertrosebooks.com\/catalogue\/the-complete-indian-instant-pot-cookbook\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Indian Instant Pot Cookbook<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chandra Ram\u2019s love of cooking began in her family kitchen, an early spark that fueled her career trajectory spanning professional kitchens, food writing, and editorial leadership. Now, serving as the associate editorial director at Food &amp; Wine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recently caught up with Chandra to chat about her favorite dishes, common myths about Indian cooking, and how the Instant Pot helps her stay rooted in tradition while keeping up with modern life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>What\u2019s a common misconception people have about Indian cooking that you hope your book clears up?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hate when people say they feel like Indian food is too complicated for them to try cooking it themselves. If you are new to cooking, try the Yogurt Rice, Spiced Carrot Bharta, Fried Chili Paneer, or the Corn Ki Subzi; all of these are easy recipes that are also perfect for people new to Indian flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>For someone new to Indian cooking, what are the must-have pantry staples they should always keep on hand?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do yourself a favor and go to an Indian or international grocery store to buy curry leaves (I stash them in my freezer so I always have some on hand). And while you\u2019re there, pick up some Kashmiri chili powder, cumin, coriander, and mustard seeds. There\u2019s no substitute for curry leaves and Kashmiri chili powder, and fresh spices make everything taste better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Indian cuisine is incredibly diverse. Are there some lesser-known regional dishes in the book that readers should definitely try?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My family is from South India, and I\u2019d love for people to try more of the dishes from that part of the country, like the Uttapam, Coconut Upma, Puris, and Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani recipes in the book. The aromas in the kitchen when I\u2019m making these dishes take me right back to my childhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>What are your top 2 or 3 favourite recipes from <\/b><b><i>The Indian Instant Pot Cookbook<\/i><\/b><b> that you\u2019d want every single person to try?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s spring now, so I\u2019ve been making the <a href=\"https:\/\/robertrosebooks.com\/2025\/05\/chandra-rams-spring-vegetable-kitcheree\/\">Spring Vegetable Kitcheree<\/a> to take advantage of the peas and asparagus at the market. I love coconut, so the Goan Shrimp Curry is always a favorite. And the Chickpea Chaat is always a favorite for picnics and potlucks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16553 size-full alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/robertrosebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/INDIANINSTANTPOT_46-e1747411459916.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robertrosebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/INDIANINSTANTPOT_46-e1747411459916.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/robertrosebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/INDIANINSTANTPOT_46-e1747411459916-1024x664.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/robertrosebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/INDIANINSTANTPOT_46-e1747411459916-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/robertrosebooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/INDIANINSTANTPOT_46-e1747411459916-1536x996.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recipe Image: Spring Vegetable Kitcheree; Top Recipe image: Bengali Carrots <\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Are there any recipes that, in your opinion, actually turn out better in the Instant Pot than with traditional cooking methods?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have to say that the Rasmalai Cake is so much easier to make in the Instant Pot than the traditional way. It took me 13 or 14 attempts to get the light texture I wanted; I would have given up, but rasmalai is my favorite Indian dessert and I didn\u2019t want to give up on it. And this recipe is an absolute stunner when you bring it out for a dinner party!<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Is there a particular recipe in the book that holds deep personal meaning for you?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes \u2014 the South Indian Lime Pickle. That was one of my father\u2019s favorite foods, but I didn\u2019t like the tangy, spicy flavors when I was a kid. He passed away when I was 15, and since then, I\u2019ve become a huge fan of lime pickle. When I make it at home, it reminds me of him; I think he\u2019d really like my version of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>Your cooking beautifully reflects both tradition and innovation. How do you find that balance in your recipes?<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way we live changes, and I think taking advantage of technology can be a good way to hang onto traditions. Between work, home, family, emails, and doing social media posts, I don\u2019t have the time to cook a lot of the recipes in this book the traditional way. But with the Instant Pot, I can multitask in a way that doesn\u2019t make me feel harried. It\u2019s funny to say that a newer technology brings me closer to how my mother and grandmother cooked, but when you taste the food, you taste it in the flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve ever wanted to explore Indian cooking but felt intimidated, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/robertrosebooks.com\/catalogue\/the-complete-indian-instant-pot-cookbook\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Indian Instant Pot Cookbook<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the perfect place to start. Chandra\u2019s recipes are approachable, flavorful, and deeply rooted in both tradition and real-life kitchen experience.
