Secrets from an Indian Kitchen is part of an exciting series of cookery books which will now be released at incredible value in paperback. The books reveal the tried and tested secrets passed down from generation to generation through families. These tips and techniques are the key to successful cooking. In this book Mridula Baljekar explores the subtle flavours of Indian cuisine in over 100 recipes, through techniques such as dim (steaming), korma (braising) and talana (deep-frying). The selection of exquisite recipes includes Pulao Rice and Chappaties, Chicken Korma with Whole Spices and the more exotic Quails Poached in Coconut Milk. Mridula's highly readable text also reveals the secrets that create the delicate aromas that distinguish Indian dishes, and one of her tips is to fry curry leaves in coconut oil to create a delicious aroma. The book is divided into chapters by cooking method and each section opens with an introduction about the method in which Mridula draws on her Indian background and the secrets passed on to her from earlier generations.

Exquisite 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

This book is almost too beautiful for words and as one other reviewer mentioned it is a great introduction to the culture of Indian food. Try hot, freshly made chapatis with a generous helping of lemon pickle, simple and delicious. Of course, there is more to these culinary traditions than can be fit in one book. That is why you should buy Julie Sahni's other books as well! As for the reviewer with the maple syrup complaint. First off, Vindaloo is not a traditional North Indian dish, it's pure Southwestern Indian. A dish from the Portuguese Catholics of Goa. Second, maple syrup makes an excellent substitute for the raw Indian sugar traditionally used. So it creates authentic flavor with a not so authentic ingredient.

Editorial Review:

It's one of the world's oldest and most delectable cuisines, found in one of the world's most mysterious and enchanting countries. Savoring India takes readers on a remarkable culinary adventure, from the foothills of the Himalayas to the dusty plains of Rajasthan, to the sultry forests and palm-lined coasts of Goa and Kerala. Included are 140 scrumptious, authentic recipes for some of India's most-loved dishes, as well as fascinating sidebars on local festivals, ingredients, customs, and religions.

Definitely Foolproof, definitely yummy recipes! 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

My friends and I discovered this book recently. After having tried several recipes over the past week, we are going to prepare our 2003 Thanksgiving meal using recipes from this book. We will start with Turkey Tandoori, curried potatoes, cayenne cauliflower, Mulligatawny Soup, Salmon madras, Cachumbar and mango lassi (to name a few.)
The recipes very are easy to follow. They not only note the time it takes to prepare and cook (not very long for most of them) but also shows step by step instructions, in individual photographs, how to prepare the meals. What could be easier? Very easy to prepare dishes with spices you most likely already have in your cupboard. And they are delicious as well. I had no idea I could create this kind of taste. I had always made my lentils with a spanish touch. Now with a few changes in spices/herbs I can create a whole new flavor. One drawback is that there are not very many vegetarian main dishes, although there are a few seafood dishes. Add this interesting cookbook to your repetoire. You'll be glad you did.

Editorial Review:

Explore and enjoy the varieties of curry from various cultures.

Extraordinarily versatile, curry was initially best known as an Indian specialty. Over the centuries, it has been adapted and specialized by almost every region in Asia. Jody Vassallo includes recipes for classic Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indonesian and Indian versions that all bear their own characteristics -- from the fiery taste of a classic red Thai curry, to the lighter, fresher dishes served in Vietnam.

Curry is beautifully designed and brings a vast range of curries into the home kitchen. Each section -- chicken and duck, pork, lamb and beef, fish and seafood, and vegetables -- includes easy-to-follow recipes from all over Asia.

Here is a sampling of the succulent dishes:

• Duck with lychees
• Pork satay
• Chu chi scallop and fish curry
• Sour vegetable and egg curry.

Curry is a superb collection of Asian recipes designed for the home chef.

3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

We love Indian food but I had never cooked it before. We needed to change our way of eating after some family health scares. Low fat is no fun if it's also low flavor. Roshi Razzaq's beautiful book and clear recipes introduced me to a whole new way of cooking and eating - low fat but incredibly delicious. She has even given me the confidence to try my own combinations. Indian food has gone from a special treat to the mainstay of our diet. Thank you, Roshi!

An excellent, easy to use collection of great recipes. 5 out of 5 stars.

It is pretty rare that a cookbook inspires me like this one did. Vibrant photographs of every dish, as well as author notes on the region and history of the dish, inspired me to try a number of recipes. I can honestly say that every recipe I have tried has turned out perfectly. I have many cookbooks, most of which I have not cooked from; this one stands alone, in that I have tried almost half the recipes. If only I could find more copies for all the friends I've gotten hooked on Roshi's recipes

Tasty, heathly, easy to prepare Indian dishes. 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This cookbook is perfect for people who either don't have a lot of time to cook or are amateur cooks. The recipes are simple to follow and most take under an hour. These dishes are consistently delicious with every preparation and are guaranteed crowd pleasers.

Once you start cooking from this book, you will begin eating Indian regularly and you won't miss the fat.

Editorial Review:

Modern Indian home food is as varied and eclectic as any cuisine in the world. But unlike Indian restaurant cooking, it does not require legions of chefs to spend hours preparing spices and pastes or slow-cooking stews and curries. Deeply-flavored dishes are created simply, in a way that fits in with our modern busy lifestyle.

The regions of India have long enjoyed different styles of food, using different ingredients and cooking techniques-and this is never more apparent than in the country's home kitchens. There are the kebabs, koftas, tikkas, dals, flatbreads, and tandoori dishes of the North, where warming dried spices bring comfort during the harsh winters. From the West, where rice is a staple, come spicy seafood and chicken dishes. The South brings us coconut dishes, vegetarian recipes, biryanis, and dosas, all flavored with deliciously fresh spices, and highlights from the East include noodles, fresh-water fish, and desserts.

Some of the dishes in India with Passion are steeped in tradition, while others are based on new creations that Manju has enjoyed in India's homes, cafes, and restaurants. But all are authentically Indian, rich in flavor, and simple to cook.
