I beloved this cookbook! And I love Indian food :-) I bought this book at Waterstones Cambridge and the cover was pretty damaged. And so I got a deal, 50% or and so off afterwards some negotiating. Good deal, just I would have bought information technology anyway I think ;-). Best melt book in a long fourth dimension I say. The fantabulous feature of this cook book is that the recipes are not only first-class and delicious, the descriptions are besides really articulate, easy to follow. Results are really good!
So, this book is regularly sitting on my couch, because I'one thousand browsing through it for the side by side recipe to endeavour. Here's 3 tips: Mum'south craven curry (easy and delicious), Bombay eggs (wow a really surprising 1-pot brunch, delicious!) and, simple just actually good: spinach with black pepper, garlic and lemon. For those who love Indian food, recommended!!!
I want to make the majority of these recipes. Well, really, I want a disciple of Meera's to open a Fresh Indian restaurant in my city, so due south/he tin can make them for me. They await *almost* easy enough for me to succeed in making. Near of the ingredients are in my pantry already. Very many of the recipes are vegetarian friendly, quite a few are even adjustable to vegans' diets. Four stars because I demand to buy a copy of this so I can try the recipes, and because there are some things I call back are as well 'gourmet' to exist in the book, similar lamb and recipes that are, subsequently all, complicated. But it might actually deserve v stars. It does take lots of helpful appendices, and lots of stories. Bootleg Paneer: 1/2 gal. whole milk, 4T lemon juice Add ginger to lemonade. Grow your own bean sprouts, attempt lentils instead of hunting down mung beans. As well, eat when sprouted; don't necessarily wait until there'southward no edible bean left. Kokosnoot-Milk Fudge: Roast Cauliflower with a drizzle of spiced oil (5T oil to 1/two t turmeric, 2 t cumin seeds, basis westward ane.5 t salt, 1 t chili powder). Squirt w/ lemon juice, serve. Saute fresh greenish beans with ginger (and mustard seeds?), then add a bit of tomato paste & turmeric, salt & pepper. 'Cole' Slaw: add radish, ruby onion, mint, cilantro, lime juice. Cabbage (that looks like Pad Thai noodles): Pickle two red onions in half-dozen T lime juice, 1t salt. Ready in an hr in the fridge. Savory (Ugandan) 'French' Toast: chili powder and minced cilantro.
(Although, it looks like many paneer recipes would actually exist a skilful way to use Tofu.)
one.v C condensed milk - Simmer, add ii C dessicated kokosnoot and one/2 t ground cardamom.
Keep simmering until information technology resembles a soft dough, absurd and test a compression to see if you tin can roll a ball from it. When ready, cool (in a fresh bowl). Grade 25 to 30 balls, scroll in i/ii C des. coconut, chill.
2 t mustard seeds, cook to 'pop' in 2 T oil
Add: 1 large onion, sliced, and then i/five lbs cabbage, same.
Steam (in a bit of water, lid on skillet) then
Add 1/2 t turmeric, 1 t table salt, 1 t cumin, 3/4 t chili pulverisation, 1 T tomato paste,
Serve when completely tender. I suggest serving w/ lime and chopped peanuts!

Every recipe I've tried in this volume has been delicious, yet easy to make. These are not complicated recipes—Sodha'south instructions are clear and prep time is short—but they even so provide a swell deal of flavor, sometimes in surprising layers. I especially recommend the beet & feta samosas.
Great cookbook for beginners to Indian cuisine. Dear that the book has tons of options for meat-eaters and vegetarians akin, and that well-nigh of the recipes tin exist made in 30 minutes. Once y'all have a few of the pantry basics Meera recommends, the ingredient lists are remarkably unintimidating. This volume is perfect for weeknight dinners! I just wish that more than of the recipes had pictures – simply most half, or maybe a few less, take photos.
This recipe book is amazing. The recipes are well organized. They taste peachy and the difficulty level is pretty clear. I like how it'southward arranged to prove how readily available the ingredients are typically found. I've made three or four of the recipes so far and they are fantastic. To top it off the stories and anecdotes are fun to read.
This volume is engagingly written and full of mutual sense tips to go authentic Indian food on your table. Authentic in this case means Gujarati Indian via Uganda via England. Global Indian food in other words which should feel correct at home in an American kitchen. Full disclosure, I oasis't cooked from information technology yet just will exist doing so this very calendar week. My oldest girl saw the volume in the kitchen and said, "That'southward the cookbook I've been using. It's fantastic!" (Here's one of the recipes she made.) Nuff said.
Delightful, fresh, cute photos.
SO Delicious. Piece of cake to follow recipes so authentic. My one complaint is that filo dough is literally the well-nigh difficult thing to work with, simply the samosas were delicious!
I checked this book out of the library after reading nigh in on Food52's The Piglet contest. Information technology was so skillful I am at present going to have to buy it as there are manner as well many recipes that I didn't get a run a risk to try. I can recommend the Roasted Marsala craven and her recipe for Naan. Her technique for cooking perfect basmati rice is how I will do it from now on. Finally, the layout of the book is great with ideas for menus and side dishes for everything and a lot of really pretty images and photos.
