5.0 out of 5 stars A very different and yet superb collection of recipes., October 15, 1998

I have tried several of the recipes in this book and all of them are lip-smacking good. The method is systematic and the presentation style is concise yet thorough. Some not-so-typical Indian dishes which are absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am in love with Omana's cooking, June 10, 2003

This review is from: Indian Cuisine (Chinese Edition) (Paperback)

I bought this book because I was looking for something out of the ordinary in Indian cooking. I think Omana has done a fabulous job of presenting Indian home cooking to the novice cook. Some of the recipes are unlike anything I have had before. Maybe Omana should write another book for the US market. A lot of people are confused by the use of Chinese characters. Anyway Omana just wanted to say that I love you and if you ever visit Key West, we could perhaps could cook together.

Cheers!
