5.0 out of 5 starsI can now walk in the kitchen with my head held high

I am a know nothing Indian kitchen ignoramus, who got tired of getting nagged by his wife and in-laws about his lack of culinary skills. In short order, this book and the Insta Pot have helped me silence my critics, chief among them being my otherwise beloved wife. This book is emancipation for the harried male, a veritable Rosetta Stone that helps unlock the mysteries of how to cook an acceptable Indian diner.
The greatest difficulty you will face is assembling the ingredients, which can be remedied by a trip to your neighborhood Indian grocery. The directions are very clearly laid out and tough to do incorrectly. Trust me, if I can successfully prepare this book’s tasty recipes, so can you.
Update: it's now been a few months, pretty much tried everything, not one recipe disappoints.
My go-to book for Saturday night cooking. Highly recommended for non Indians who want to try their hand at preparing Indian food that is a lot better than the garden variety restaurant fare -- and much less expensive, too! For those new to Indian cooking, I would recommend that you reduce by half any recommendations for red chillies or chilli powder.
