A Classic updated
Most of the recipes are from her BBC edition of 1982. That original changed the way I made indian food forever, it was oustanding! It gave better techniques than the bulk methods used by most indian restaurants, but had only a few colour prints and looks dated now. This is bigger, full colour and best of all the recipes have been updated as have some of the techniques and there are a few new ones like the magnificent Shahjahani Raan. This and Raan Masaledar are dishes where a whole leg of lamb is marinaded then slow roasted. They are both worth the effort and this is a must have book. Believe me I've been making curries since the 60's.

If you want to cook autentic indian meals.....buy this
Well this is the first indian cookery book I bought and wow...
I never realised cooking these foods could be so easy!
The best one by far is the tandori chicken which you prepare the night before, then when cooked, you put into a butter sauce (also prepared the night before)......its fantastic. So yep if you want to cook real homemade indian food this really is a good book!! ;0)

Great book on Indian Cuisine
Along with two of Julie Sahni's books, my husband and I really enjoy trying recipes from Madhur Jaffrey. The directions are simple, and she explains ingredients very well--we were beginners when we started and had no problem figuring out what she meant. Her recipe for lentils with garlic and onion is one of our favorite lentil dishes!
