The range of recipes in this book, especially the vegetarian, makes it great, since most Indians are vegetarian. The carrot and peas is superb and easy. The salads are great. The meats are good too. Every recipe works well. The techniques are clear, even when they can be a little complex. But then to get great flavours you need to put in the effort. Though I find the fish are difficult to manage. I have made several of them and since its so hard to get fresh fish, or the right fish, they can show more fail or fail to impress. I learned some wonderful methods from this book. Deserves the best praise. And I never felt as though I was patronised with short cut techniques or time saving nonsense. Its all above board. Excellent work. show less

Many quite authentic recipes, as well as some unusual ones like cashewnut curry and fried chillies.

Best indian cookbook ever!
