another sahni success, 30 Aug 2003
By E Rice - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Indian Regional Classics: Fast, Fresh and Healthy Home Cooking (Hardcover)
i have and use all of sahni's cookbooks. this one is particularly good in that it includes many recipes that are not quite as labor- and time-intensive as many indian recipes can be--there are dishes that can be made for dinner on a weekday, after work. there are also recipes that do not resemble those in other indian cookbooks i have.since its a much smaller book than her others, it does not contain as much background information--it would be a good idea to have a 'basic' indian cookbook to refer to for information about spices, paneer, etc. but, if you already have a good, basic indian cookbook, you will enjoy this one for the added facets of indian cooking.

Not quite identical to Introduction to Indian Cooking..., 28 Sep 2009
By dakk0 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Indian Regional Classics: Fast, Fresh and Healthy Home Cooking (Hardcover)
Made curious by another review which mentions that Indian Regional Classics: Fast, Fresh, and Healthy Home Cooking has the same identical text as Julie Sanhi's Introduction to Indian Cooking, I borrowed both books from the library in order to compare them. Here are the results:
Copyright info for Indian Regional Classics states: "Copyright 1998, 2001 by Julie Sahni. Previously published as Julie Sahni's Introduction to Indian Cooking."
Indian Regional Classics does not include the 16 full-page color photos that appear in Introduction to Indian Cooking. Although I normally appreciate seeing a picture of the finished dish, I did not miss these particular photos at all.
The page formatting of Regional Classics places the ingredients in double columns rather than a single column, thus most recipes are on one page rather than two.
Indian Regional Classics includes every recipe from Introduction to Indian Cooking (a couple have minor changes).
Indian Regional Classics includes these additional recipes, several of which have multiple variations (so the total recipe count is higher than shown):
1. Savory Pastries with Coconut, Jaggery, and Chile Filling (Mava Samosa)
2. Mung Bean Pilaf (Pongal)
3. Lentil Crepes with Ginger and Onion (Parupu Dosa)
4. Tandoori Quail with Tamarind-Pepper Glaze (Tandoori Titar)
5. Salmon Molee (Meen Molee)
6. Karhai Chicken with Peppers and Tomatoes (Karhai Murgh Khasa)
7. Royal Braised Cornish Hens (Shahi Korma)
8. Royal Cornish Hen Biriyani with Raisins and Almonds (Shahi Biriyani)
9. Spiced Goan Roast Pork with Jaggery Glaze (Lai Thao)
10. Green Beans and Carrots with Mustard Seeds (Kottaivaraika Porial)
11. Bengali-Style Eggplant with Panch Phoron Spices (Began Sorshe)
12. Hyderabad Chiles Braised in Tamarind Sauce (Mirch ka Salan)
13. Chettinad Lima Beans (Kurma)
14. Fennel, Tomato, and White Bean Stew with Lucknow Fennel Seeds (Koyambo)
I hope this is helpful to someone trying to decide which book to purchase.

A gem, identical recipes for a lot less money than Sahni's Introduction..., 1 Feb 2007
By finem lauda - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Indian Regional Classics: Fast, Fresh and Healthy Home Cooking (Hardcover)
This book makes cooking wonderful Indian treasures do-able on weeknights. There are a wide-assortment of dishes to try and so far, the ones I've tried have worked beautifully. For those of you in search of Sahni's Introduction to Indian Cooking, no longer in print and fetching prices in the $100 category--this book has the identical text and recipes for $10-$20. Don't let those used book dealers fool you. Namaste.
