5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, she explains everything very well., 5 Sep 1996
By A Customer
This is the best Indian Cookbook that I own (and I have several as my husband is South Indian). The author gives a complete explanation of all unfamiliar vegetables and spices. The recipes are relatively easy to follow, and she lets you know when you can use convenient U.S.-style prepared foods instead of doing everything from scratch. My Indian friends were amazed that I could invite them over for Idlis without 24 hours of preparation. The only problem is that recipes are indexed by her English translation of the Indian name, so if you want to make Idlis, you have to know that she calls it something like "Bean and Rice Dumplings". I recommend this book, and wish she had a non-vegetarian version. The book would be even better is it had photographs (there are none).

3.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing.., 14 April 1999
By A Customer
If you really want to cook authentic, one-on-one Indian food, go for this book, but if you want to experiment or just get ideas, I wouldn't recommend this one. It's a little user-unfriendly (hardly any illustration) and provides lots of background and detail information. I find it hard to improvise or extract different ideas from these receipies; of course that depends on where you live (i.e. whether all the ingredients are available) Here they aren't so I can't really use the book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Blah., 20 Dec 1998
By A Customer
this book was an utter disappointment... perhaps there are subtle differences in approaching indian cuisine... i bought this book because 1) there are few indian veggie cookbooks; 2) all the other reviewers raved about it.... blah.

4.0 out of 5 stars publishers, time to correct the errors....
This book has been in print since 1985 - proof enough that it's not just another vegetarian book or indian cookbook, but a particularly good one. Read more
