5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and thorough introduction to quintessential Indian cooking - with easy, failproof recipes, September 13, 2007

By	Marynna L. Kerce (Atlanta GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cooking the Indian Way is simply the best introduction to Indian cooking for the novice.

A nice bonus: an easy way to plan and serve well-coordinated dinners which include both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.

This delightful little gem will teach you how to make complete Indian dinners, including savory Indian breads, chutneys, yogurt dips, many vegetarian dishes, plus spicey fish, yogurt chicken, and several other treats. The tips will enable you to quickly discover how to use Indian spices to nice effect in creating your own dishes, including your own tea and signature spice blends.

The recipes in Vijay Madavan's Cooking the Indian Way have been so popular with my family and friends that several recipes now number among their favorites. Given a choice, my family would have these dishes every night. Be sure to make large portions when you serve these to your guests -- although the dishes are quite filling, you will be astonished at how quickly they will disappear!

Although we initially found this book in a children's section, it is actually the best of the Indian cookbooks we've seen. It includes a nice introduction to regional differences in Indian cooking, and provides some cultural information, as well.

Easy, informative, and delicious, too.
