Customer Reviews

A gem, identical recipes for a lot less money than Sahni's Introduction...

This book makes cooking wonderful Indian treasures do-able on weeknights. There are a wide-assortment of dishes to try and so far, the ones I've tried have worked beautifully. For those of you in search of Sahni's Introduction to Indian Cooking, no longer in print and fetching prices in the $100 category--this book has the identical text and recipes for $10-$20. Don't let those used book dealers fool you. Namaste.

another sahni success

i have and use all of sahni's cookbooks. this one is particularly good in that it includes many recipes that are not quite as labor- and time-intensive as many indian recipes can be--there are dishes that can be made for dinner on a weekday, after work. there are also recipes that do not resemble those in other indian cookbooks i have.since its a much smaller book than her others, it does not contain as much background information--it would be a good idea to have a 'basic' indian cookbook to refer to for information about spices, paneer, etc. but, if you already have a good, basic indian cookbook, you will enjoy this one for the added facets of indian cooking.
