Indian food is growing in popularity, but people are often daunted by the complexities of balancing spices or worried that cooking Indian dishes at home may be time-consuming. Written in a personal style, this volume addresses both issues, presenting 100 fool-proof and healthy recipes for today's busy cooks (many taking just 45 minutes or less from start to finish). It is full of practical tips, as well as information on storing and preparing spices and lots of time-saving ideas. More than simply a recipe book, this is also a culinary journey as Meena recalls her memories of food and cooking among her extended family at home in India and in the UK, and introduces those special ingredients which are the key to authentic Indian cookery.
