Reader Reviews:
Great cook book (1/1 people found this helpful)
I just love this book. It is full of yummy recipes with lovely colour photographs and the actual recipes are easy to make and each one I have cooked has turned out first class. There is a good selection of recipes which are divided into catergories, which include, poultry, meat, pulses, vegetables, sweets etc.
There are no fussy ingredients which one cannot find, and the cooking method is pretty straightforward. This has to be my favourite curry book by far. I am a very satisfied customer!
A Classic updated (51/52 people found this helpful)
Most of the recipes are from her BBC edition of 1982. That original changed the way I made indian food forever, it was oustanding! It gave better techniques than the bulk methods used by most indian restaurants, but had only a few colour prints and looks dated now. This is bigger, full colour and best of all the recipes have been updated as have some of the techniques and there are a few new ones like the magnificent Shahjahani Raan. This and Raan Masaledar are dishes where a whole leg of lamb is marinaded then slow roasted. They are both worth the effort and this is a must have book. Believe me I've been making curries since the 60's.
If you want to cook autentic indian meals.....buy this (29/31 people found this helpful)
Well this is the first indian cookery book I bought and wow...
I never realised cooking these foods could be so easy!
The best one by far is the tandori chicken which you prepare the night before, then when cooked, you put into a butter sauce (also prepared the night before)......its fantastic. So yep if you want to cook real homemade indian food this really is a good book!! ;0)
Great book on Indian Cuisine (18/19 people found this helpful)
Along with two of Julie Sahni's books, my husband and I really enjoy trying recipes from Madhur Jaffrey. The directions are simple, and she explains ingredients very well--we were beginners when we started and had no problem figuring out what she meant. Her recipe for lentils with garlic and onion is one of our favorite lentil dishes!
A must have for indian food fans! (16/17 people found this helpful)
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.
