INTRODUCTION
Food is an integral part of our festivals. We all like to eat different delicacies and no celebration is complete without them. India has numerous festivals with mouth-watering dishes associated with them. Our book helps you to prepare a scrumptious spread for your festive party without toiling for hours in the kitchen.
It contains 54 North Indian festive recipes, from flavorful chats like Moong Dal Chaat, Chana Chaat to main course dishes like Shahi Matar Paneer and Vegetable Biryani. Indian festivals are incomplete without desserts and hence we bring to you varied recipes like Matar halwa, Sheer Kurma which taste and look equally good.
Fast is observed on many North Indian festivals, hence the book includes many fasting recipes like, Sabudana Khichdi, Meeng Panjiri etc, to make your fastings also delectable.
Traditional dishes take their own time to cook and in our busy lives it becomes difficult to incorporate them. But thanks to OPOS (One Pot One Shot) technique, all these recipes can be prepared in a jiffy, allowing you to enjoy the food and celebration with your family and friends.

6. I was always OPOSing!
OPOS is not a fancy word for pressure cooking. Very few OPOS recipes follow the "Dump all into a cooker" technique. Most OPOS recipes are built on pressure baking, a brand new cooking technique. Pressure baking, in addition to the techniques listed below is responsible for the intense taste, textures, colours and flavours of OPOSed dishes.

Traditional recipes were not designed for todays lifestyle. Many of us lack the time, skill and support to make traditional recipes work.

Use right equipment and follow recipes to experience magic!

9. Equipment needed:
OPOS works best with the OPOS kit available at www.oposkit.com . The pressure baker has been specially designed for OPOS. It is built to cook without water and over high heat. It comes with a silicone gasket to withstand dry heating, a lead free safety valve and precisely calibrated weight set to ensure healthy whistles. It has a set of stainless steel measuring cups, inner vessel with lid, flash separators and flash cards with step by step lessons. Normal pressure cookers are not designed to cook without water or over high heat. The safety valves blow, gasket melts and food burns. The manufacturers insist you never cook without water and never to cook over high heat. However if you know what you are doing, you can use any 2L Indian whistling pressure cooker.
