I am SO EXCITED to share some exciting news with you!
I HAVE A NEW COOKBOOK!

A few things to know about the recipes in this cookbook:
- There are 60 recipes from both North and South India – all made in an Instant Pot or the Electric Pressure Cooker of your choice.
- All of the recipes are naturally gluten-free.

I hope you get this cookbook and love everything you make! If you have any questions about the cookbook, leave me a comment here on the blog! If you buy my book, would you leave me an honest review on Amazon? They help so much!
And for those of you who are wondering why I didn’t tell you about this book sooner – I have a few good reasons! The main reason: you may already know I’m a stay-at-home mom (Tony is 11 months old now!) and so I wasn’t sure when this book would be done. I’ve been working on this for over a year and I didn’t want to tease you with the promise of a cookbook without an end date in sight. So, I stayed quiet. Until now of course.
Now I want to shout the news from the rooftops! It’s Here!!
Thank you so much for your love and support!
Here are a few testimonials from long-time blog readers who served as recipe testers for my book (so you know this book is legit)!
Before discovering Ashley’s recipes, I was convinced that making restaurant-quality Indian food at home was impossible. With Ashley’s already accessible recipes now adapted for the Instant Pot, making excellent food at home is not only easy but also incredibly fast. If you want to make amazing Indian food in your kitchen, this book is for you!
– Sabre Mahaffy
We have been following Ashley’s “My Heart Beets” blog from its beginning. We have always loved Indian food but been very intimidated by the confusing and complicated cookbooks we attempted to use to try to learn how to cook this amazing cuisine. Ashley has a gift for creating recipes that are simple, easy to follow , and a delight to prepare and eat. Her recipes are well tested and always turn out perfect. No wasting money throwing away failures! Using her recipes is like having a personal chef right there teaching us how to make wonderful Indian food. Her new cookbook “Indian Cooking Under Pressure” offers a variety of recipes for every cook, from Paleo meat eaters to Vegans. And since we are all busy cooks, has the added bonus of all recipes being adapted for use in a pressure cooker, making things even simpler.
– Colette and Danielle Marceau
Ashley’s recipes have become staples in my kitchen. I love how simple, flavorful, and crowd-pleasing they are. I don’t have to go hunting for odd ingredients; her recipes use ingredients I generally keep on-hand in my pantry. I’ve made her recipes for family with plain, non-adventurous tastes and opened up a whole new world of gastronomical delight for them. And no one can tell that the food is gluten- and dairy-free! The flavors also excite my taste buds (Indian is my comfort food). The recipes are easy to make and don’t take a lot of time, but with the flavors that come out of the pot, one would think I’d labored all day over the meal. Thank you, Ashley!

MyHeartBeets has long been a superior source for Northern and Southern Indian food recipes that are both authentic and delicious. Now that Ashley has ported them over to the ridiculously easy-to-use Instant Pot, everyone can quickly and easily prepare a dish so tasty your local restaurant will weep with envy.

Kiran says
I don’t have a instant pot, I’m from the UK and it’s been sold out for a while, it doesn’t look like it will be back in stock. So I was wondering if I can make all you recipes in any digital pressure cooker?
My Heart Beets says
Kiran, you should be able to make my recipes in any electric pressure cooker 🙂 Let me know what you think of any recipes that you try!
Kabri Lehrman-Schmid says
I purchased your book the day after getting my Instant Pot a month ago. We have eaten at least three recipes a week. Thanks to you and my new toy for making Indian food accessible! The food is just incredible – better than my favorite SF and NYC restaurants.
My Heart Beets says
Wow, thank you so much Kabri!! I appreciate the kind words so much – they just made my night! If you get a chance, would you mind leaving me a review on amazon?! They help so much!
Janki says
When will your book be available on a kindle format? Thanks
My Heart Beets says
Hi Janki, I am working on a pdf version – hopefully soon. If you haven’t yet, please sign up for my newsletter to stay tuned! bit.ly/MHBnewsletter
Brandi says
Thanks so much for sharing your satisfying and delicious recipes. Your blog was the key to my ability to happily completing a vegetarian whole30. It looks like I’ll finally need to break down and by an instant pot! Could you tell me what percentage of the recipes are vegetarian?
My Heart Beets says
Brandi, I’m so happy to hear that 🙂 Out of the 60 recipes in the cookbook, 43 of them are vegetarian – but please know that many of the vegetarian recipes call for legumes! I have included an image of the full table of contents in this blog post that you may want to check out. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Lisa says
Is there an ebook on Amazon? I looked but could not find. Thank you!
My Heart Beets says
Hi Lisa, not yet – it’s still in progress but hopefully soon 🙂
emmie says
I literally bought an instantpot (which somehow I had never heard of), just to use this cookbook. Crazy, maybe, but your other cookbook is probably in my top 3 of all time, so like the lady above, I just clicked BUY immediately. Can’t wait to try it out! The idli’s look amazing, I haven’t had them since I last visited Bangalore!
My Heart Beets says
Emmie, wow that’s so great to hear! I can’t wait to hear what you think of the recipes! Thanks for your support 🙂
Holly Winchell says
Hi Ashley, Indian food has been my favorite cuisine for as long as I can remember, but I always thought it would be too complicated to make myself. My boyfriend is from Bombay/Mumbai and cooks many wonderful traditional Indian recipes learned from his mother, but I do not have his patience to spend hours at a time preparing a meal. He shared My Heart Beets with me, and about the same time I bought an Instant Pot. I must say the timing of “Indian Food Under Pressure” is impeccable, because now I am confident I can make many of the dishes I love, without spending hours upon hours in the kitchen! I have already made several recipes from your blog, which have turned out perfectly. I hinted that I want your new cookbook for my birthday in October, but don’t think I can wait that long. 😉 Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes and I can’t wait to dive into your new bestselling cookbook!
My Heart Beets says
Hi Holly! Thank you for the kind words! I’m so happy your boyfriend shared my blog with you 🙂 I can’t wait to hear what you think of the recipes that you try!
Iris says
So wish you’d publish South Asian Persuasion in paperback format!
My Heart Beets says
Iris, thank you so much for the feedback! I am going to look into revamping my South Asian Persuasion e-book soon – stay tuned to my newsletter for updates!
Puneet Jaiprakash says
Congrats on the book! I hope they’ll have a “Look Inside” feature soon. Also, are these for one specific model of IP, or would the work w/ any version?

Puneet
My Heart Beets says
Thank you so much!! I think that feature takes a few weeks to show up! You can use any electric pressure cooker! If you want to see how the recipes are written, visit this recipe (it’s an exact one from the book): https://myheartbeets.com/instant-pot-butter-chicken/ Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Rebecca says
I would love to try this book as I LOVE Indian food. I was wondering if there were any recipes that were nightshade free. Thanks!
Shveta says
Super huge congratulations! 🙂
My Heart Beets says
Shveta, thank you so much!! 🙂
Nancy says
Will there be a Kindle version?
My Heart Beets says
If there is enough interest then yes! But it may take a little while to get that up. Good to know you want one 🙂
Whitney Lemons says
Seconded!
My Heart Beets says
thank you!!
Christine says
Ordered. I live for your saag recipe and make it often. I moved from the Bay Area in California with Indian restaurants everywhere to a small island off the coast of North Carolina and the nearest Indian restaurant is an hour away. I’m so happy to have this to cook with! (I’m also married to an Indian man who is an excellent cook, but makes two things – so I’m happy to expand our recipe base).
Oh and like the person above – I saw you had a new cookbook and just ordered it. No questions asked. 😛
My Heart Beets says
Thank you, Christine!! I hope you and your hubby love everything you make! I can’t wait to hear what you both think of the recipes 🙂
And lol, hearing that makes me so happy! 🙂

Blessy Marin says
Ashley,
I’m a Malu, married to a Guyanese man and we have three teenage boys, one of which has to follow a gluten and dairy free protocol. We LOVE our Indian food and your recipes make it easier for me to make good Indian food that we can all enjoy. I have your e-book and now I just ordered the Indian Food Under Pressure cookbook from Amazon because I am looking for more recipes I can make in my InstantPot. I am sure it will be a hit! Thank you for sharing your gift!!
My Heart Beets says
Hi Blessy! I’m so happy to hear that you like my recipes and my e-book! I hope you love this new cookbook just as much! I can’t wait to hear what you think of the recipes!!
