When i bought this book from Amazon.com, I had never cooked Indian food before, but since the reviews all looked good i decided to purchase it. Well, needless to says I was very impressed with the book! All the recepies I tried turned out great and I now use it at least twice a week. My only complaint would be with the weight mesurements (in Ounces) for some of the ingredients, but the end result more than outweights this minor anoyance. I strongly recommend this book to anybody interested in cooking great home made Indian meals.

The recipes encompass both the classic dishes such as lamb rogan josh and butter chicken as well as some more out of the ordinary such as watermelon curry, prawn in sweet and hot curry and aubergine curry. Rice, vegetable, potato, yoghurt, bread and chutney recipes to accompany the curries are given, as are some tempting and easy-to-make desserts. Sub-sections include: the philosophy of Indian food; what is a curry?; the use of spices, herbs and chillies; planning an Indian meal and suggested menus; and what to drink with an Indian meal.
