Indian made easy!
20 Jun 2002
Format:Hardcover
I own several cookbooks in the "What's Cooking" series and I love them. The Indian cookbook was the first in the series that I purchased and it is still the one that I used the most. We eat a lot of Indian and Pakistani food in my house and I love to try new recipes. But sometimes I don't have the time or energy to do lots of fancy involved steps. Most of the recipes in the "What's Cooking Indian" cookbook are simple and easy with ingredients that you can probably find in your local supermarket. The "What's Cooking" cookbooks are a well-done series of books. They are oversized with simple and clear step-by-step instructions and they also frequently include pictures for some of the preparation steps as well as the finished product. Each recipe has a beautiful full-page color picture of the finished dish on the page facing the recipe. One thing that I wish they had done in the book was to include the Indian names for the recipes. Most of the names have been translated into English. So, if you eat out in Indian restaurants frequently and are familiar with the Indian names of the dishes you won't be able to simply flip to the index and look up something like "Aloo Chat". Instead they call the `chat' dish something like "Potato and chickpea snack" (which by the way is delicious!). The book is divided into several sections such as appetizers, vegetables, meat & poultry, seafood, pulses, rice & breads, snacks & desserts. Overall there are over 100 recipes. My husband & I have several favorite recipes from the book including the rice pudding, the `aloo chat', several of the rice dishes, and the lamb chops. This is a great cookbook and one that I use frequently. I recommend this book to anyone who loves Indian cooking and would like to try to make some at home. This is a great book for beginners!

Very helpful! Demystifies Indian Cooking
15 April 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book has been very enjoyable. This book has a wide variety of recipes, and they are made with ingredients that are easy to find. I was amazed at how many recipes can be made with ingredients that we have on hand. This book is well organized, and best of all it offers a picture of every single recipe. So you know what it is going to look like. The recipes that I have tried have been very good, and enjoyable. This book gets very high ratings since the recipes are written clearly, even for the begining cook. My only minor complaint with this book is that all recipes are not given in their actual name but generic names. Still if you are looking for a book for the beginner, or if you are just starting to get interested in Indian cooking, this is a great book to start with.

One of the best!
17 Jan 2006
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
My husband is Indian, so I cook Indian quite often. This cookbook has realistic, good, step-by-step recipes that can be done with a basic Indian set of ingredients. The food actually turns out how it is supposed to, and tastes great! If you only have 1 Indian Cookbook, this is the one I would recommend.
