Great recipies!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am new to cooking Indian food. This is not the most beautiful book but I have really liked the recipes I have tried out. For me, cooking Indian food is never fast but making big batches of curry sauce to freeze for later does speed things up a bit. The recipes are easy to follow with relatively fewer ingredients compared to some of the other fancier-looking recipe books I have seen and the ingredients have been easy to find as well (we do live by a small Indian Grocery though). I have no idea if I am making the dishes correctly (no pictures) but they TASTE great to me!

This book is an excellent reference for formal Indian cooking.It describes classic meals; for instance, Paneer Kabobs with dried prunes, Madras Fish Curry, Kaftas in Lentil Soup andhundreds of other fine foods/recipes. This book would behelpful if you were cooking for an Indian guest or family.It would be useful for chefs and persons desiring to emulatean international flavor in the recipes presented to guests.
Some new combinations and flavors

Positives: The recipes are very descriptively named, so one can really get seduced into trying out a recipe! No extra-long list of ingredients.She introduces common ingredients found in the american markets, that are not usually used in Indian cooking to create some interesting combinations.Ex: Brocolli and Red pepper raita, Tuna burgers,Dill rice , Salmon in creamy sauce etc.There is a section for microwave cooking.Lots of salads and veggie dishes that are totally new to indian food lovers are in here..Drawback: Absolutely no pictures..so first time cooks and new Indian cooks, might not be happy.It isn't fast cooking..but its cooking that's well worth the time. Preparing curry sauces beforehand is what makes her concept of cooking "fast" work.However, I like to create a smaller version of her sauces and use it immediately. The madras curry sauce is great..makes your food look and taste like those served at the Indian restaurants..
