Description:
"The Indecisive chicken expresses the invisible artistry of Dharavi's home cooks. Eight women reveal their lives in stories and recipes that resound with the lively accents of Dharavi's cultural hotpot. Seared vegetables, slow-cooked meats, moreish gravies, and desserts of subtle sweetness light up a menu of complex culinary traditions. This cookbook presents a colourful parade of recipes, while exploring why and how women cook, and what food means to them beyond its life in a meal."--Page 4 of cover.
