Book Reviews of Indian Home Cooking: A Fresh Introduction to Indian Food, with More Than 150 Recipes

Book Review: This cookbook made me a star!
Summary: 5 Stars

This was my 1st Indian cookbook I ever bought, and I became an overnight sensation! Everybody fell in love with the recipes I was making, especially my husband. He spread the word around, and now I host big dinner parties using nothing but what's in this cookbook. It's so freakin' yummy! Note: It definitely helps if you have an Indian market around you for some of the ingredients, mostly the spices, but you can purchase these items online. Tip: Buy your spices whole if you can and grind them in your coffee grinder when needed. The fresher the spice, the tastier the dish. And don't be afraid to buy in bulk. Once you become addicted to these dishes, you'll use them, trust me! -- Roisin in Pennsylvania

Summary of Indian Home Cooking: A Fresh Introduction to Indian Food, with More Than 150 Recipes

With its exotic aromas and complex flavors, Indian cuisine is one of the world's best. It's no wonder that so many people adore it--and also no surprise that it could seem daunting to cook Indian food at home. Now, acclaimed chef and cooking teacher Suvir Saran cuts out the fuss, sharing casual, home-style Indian dishes that are perfect for everyday cooking.

Indian Home Cooking is a celebration of the food Indians cook in American kitchens today, using ingredients found in most supermarkets. With streamlined techniques and intense, authentic flavors, Indian Home Cooking heralds a new generation of Indian cookbooks. From slow-simmered curries with layered flavors to quickly saut?ed dishes, these approachable recipes explore the wide world of Indian cuisine, including:

*Irresistible snacks and appetizers, such as Puff Pastry Samosas with Green Peas, and Spinach-Potato Patties
*Seductively spiced lentil dals, from the North Indian classic flavored with whole cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves to a Southern Indian version with dried red chilies, mustard seeds, and curry leaves
*Aromatic meat and seafood curries, like Coconut Chicken with Cashews and spicy Goan Shrimp Balchao
*An incredible range of vegetable dishes, including Stir-Fried Green Beans with Cumin, and Cauliflower with Saut?ed Green Peppers, Tomato, and Yogurt
*Easy, colorful chutneys and pickles to fill your pantry

Filled with gorgeous photographs, fresh flavors, and practical advice, Indian Home Cooking is an illuminating guide to real Indian food.
