Product Description
"The Food of India gives you a real taste of one of the world's great cuisines. Discover the vast array of dishes which make up the cuisine of today's India: from traditional Moghul dishes such as korma and kofta, to a selection of breads, dahls and fragrant basmati rice dishes including pulao and biryani. Each recipe is photographed as it is made, and is accompanied by helpful pictures of techniques, equipment and ingredients. Stunning photographs shot while on location in India show how to identify and choose produce: from fresh vegetables straight from the market to seafood, spices and pickles."

Format:Paperback
I cannot praise this book highly enough: I have many Indian food/curry cookbooks and this one beats them all hands down.
The book itself is a fine piece of production. Photos of street vendors, market stalls, shops and produce invite you in and, along with the author's flavoursome writings and introductions, put the food in the correct cultural context.
The recipes are excellent. Simply written and easy to follow, they are nevertheless exquisite. A fine mix of street food, traditional feast dishes and true Indian versions of our British curry house favourites, backed-up with comprehensive sections on bread-making, side-dishes and pickles, this book offers an array of mouth-watering treats for any fan of Indian cuisine.
Open the pages and let the warmth of India's sunshine, spices and it's people flood out.

We own many indian cook books and bought this to fill our collection, We haven't opened or used any other indian cookery book since! As well as perfectly described and delicious dishes familiar from our local takeaway there are also more unusual dishes such as "Mangalorean Pork Bafath" (so HOT!!)and a wealth of others including a very extensive seafood section (chili crab anyone?) and large veg section. Visually the book is beautiful and worthy of "coffee table" status and a must for spicy food cooks. I note the other books in the series are by other authors I can only hope the Thai one is as good

I came across this book at a friends house and bought it the next day!
It is the best Indian cookery book I have bought as it features some great recipes some of which you never see in other books. The history of Indian food provides a real insight into the country and it comes well recommended!
