Summary: Great cookbook
Comment: I love this cookbook! There are so many really good recipes in it, and they are not too complicated. It is the Indian cookbook I reach for first.
Customer Rating:
Summary: very usable
Comment: When I got interested in Indian cooking, I bought quite a few cookbooks. This is the one I ended up going to 90% of the time. I can't speak to the authenticity, but I found all the recipes I've tried to be successful. The sheer volume of recipes also means that if you start with a particular ingredient (say, I'd like to make an eggplant or okra dish today) you can find a recipe for it that appeals. I especially like the great variety of vegetable dishes.

Summary: Excellent Book!!!
Comment: I originally got this book free as part of a promotion. I recently bought a copy for a friend who is just starting to learn to cook Indian food. I think it is very complete with recipes that are easy to follow. Once you have some key spices in your pantry, you don't usually have to buy a lot for any recipe. Highly recommended.

Summary: Healthy Indian
Comment: I love this cookbook and am working my way through it, trying to make at least one new recipe a week. Although I am not Indian, an Indian friend of mine vouches for the authentic "taste" of the recipes. These aren't classic recipes, but more up to date for today's tastes and health awareness. The dishes incorporate the myriad spices that make Indian cuisine distinct, but are not loaded with ghee and other oil, although even so, I tend to cut the amount of oil suggested and just ignore the ghee. Although I have other Indian cookbooks, I use this as my bible for technique including spice preparation. I also like that she has some admittedly Americanized dishes so there is truly something for every palate.

Summary: Great book with awesome recipes
Comment: Neelam Batra's book is one of the greatest books out of all the cookbooks I've. It is not for beginners. I was born and brought up in India and I come from a family of excellent cooks. I am Chef myself. I've come across so-called Authentic recipes and you see half of them are not even spelt right. Writing and compiling 1000 recipes is not easy and that too doing everything right and great tasting. First of all, to come to this book, you need to know the basics of Indian cooking. You also need to know about Indian spices. If you want try cooking Indian food, try some simple books. You should graduate in your knowledge and skills to come to this book. It is also an excellent book for Indians to have it their collection because it has recipes from almost all regions of India. Hats off to her. I've recommended this book for our recipe collection at work.
