The Need for Roots translator talks about how she approached the famous philosopher’s best-known work. On the one hand, these are supposed to be family recipes, not restaurant recipes, so it doesn't make sense to critique it in the same way. These recipes are less balanced than I'd expect from a restaurant like Darjeeling Express, but... maybe that's the point?

Ammu: Indian Home Cooking To Nourish The Soul - Daunt Books

Dry roast the cumin seeds on a low heat in a pan. Keep an eye that they do not burn. They will become aromatic and turn a few shades darker. Grind the toasted seeds in a mortar and pestle. A heart-warming cookbook of comforting aromatic Indian flavors: Indian food from home, cooked with heart. It is interesting to read that Khan’s mother, Ammu, was herself a pioneer in challenging the patriarchal restrictions by which women continue to be constrained. She founded a food business in India and Khan is the heir to her recipes. Asma has furthered her mother’s legacy and, through food, has worked to develop how women are thought about whether in domestic or professional kitchens. The book itself contains a variety of recipes that Asma loved from her childhood and she evocatively describes her memories of each dish so as to underscore its importance in her personal development whether as a child in Kolkata, Hyderabad and Madras, or a student at Cambridge University. The recipes traverse a number of regions and bring to the table a variety of dishes with influences from Bengali, Afghan, Mughlai and Turkish cuisines.
