There are therefore both simple, quick (and healthy) recipes for busy cooks as well as more complex dishes for those seeking a new challenge.Written in a very personal style, the book also takes the reader back through Meena's memories and anecdotes of both India and the UK, as well as charting the emergence of Patak's as a brand leader in Indian foods. Meena Pathak's "Complete Indian Cooking" is a must for both practical regular meals as well as for foodies exploring new culinary styles or ingredients.

Best Indian Cookbook I have found
9 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
My wife gave me this book a couple of years ago and I have never tried any of the dishes. The book had wonderful pictures and very elaborate recipes. I decided one day to try the shrimp in coconut curry which is pictured on the front cover of her book. My wife loved the dish. I made it for her friends as well and they could not believe that I made it. I then started cooking a different curry every week. I have now made 5 different dishes. I have to tell you, of all the cookbooks that I have, this is by far the best one. What I like about it is that she explains the process in detail. She tells you the exact amounts of water or oil to use which is great for beginning cooks. I also like the various masalas she shows how to make. The other unique thing I like about this book is that it features dishes from all parts of India. I am from Goa and she even had 4-5 recipe's from there. I don't have to go to Indian restaurants anymore because her book teaches you all the tricks the restaurants use. I highly recommend this book.
try it, you'll love it...

This cookbook is awesome! I first checked this book out from the library. There were so many recipes I wanted to get that I decided to purchase my own copy. I particularly like the way meena presents the Indian cuisine. There's some history of the country and its cuisine in the beginning with also an explanation of the different spices and mixtures used. Every recipe has a little write up either from what region it is or on traditions or/and what some of the inbgredients mean. If you thought you didn't like Indian food, well this cookbook will change your mind. You will not only enjoy reading this cookbook but also the ease that it takes to make these recipes will add to your cooking pleasure. The pictures are on every page and are mouth watering! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
