Indian Flavor Every Day: Simple Recipes and Smart Techniques to Inspire: A Cookbook

This book is beautifully laid out with stunning photographs that make my mouth water every time I flip through the pages!The recipes are easy to follow and the ingredients are readily available at my local grocery store. I have tried several dishes so far, including the Sweet Potato and Onion Bhaji, Rasam and Rice Soup, Dal Tarka and Spicy Ginger Snaps... each one has been a hit with my family.I appreciate that the cookbook includes a wide variety of dishes, from traditional curries to street food favorites, giving me the opportunity to explore different flavors and techniques. I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone looking to expand their culinary horizons and experience the vibrant and diverse cuisine of India. It has quickly become a staple in my kitchen and I can't wait to try more recipes in the future!

This is an excellent, easy to use cookbook without the Hindu overtones in the recipes. Everything I have tried has been amazing!

This book is great. As someone who is an experienced home cook, but eager to learn, it is perfect. Its educational, and also offers insights to finding exotic ingredients or how to replace them. Everything I’ve made out of this so far has been exceptional. The sign of a great cookbook author!

The book’s strength is its explanation of the basic elements and glossary of Indian cooking—especially tarkas. Several good recipes, well sequenced. One weakness is the omission of many famous Indian dishes, particularly several meat entrees.

A birthday gift for my son. I knew I did good. He loves to cook and loves indian flavor. This one is easy to read explains everything. Pictures were great.

Liked......Most of the recipes have a photo of dish which I find very helpful. Instructions are clear, but sometimes lenghtly (better more than less though). I have tried the Naan, Keema, and Indian salad are all turned out fantastic. I reviewed the book and made notes which dishes I wanted to try. Also near the front of book is a list of recommended spices to have on hand. This is very helpful for me. I highly recommend this cook book to anyone new to Indian cooking.

What a great book, it is more than a cookbook - it is an actual cooking course, full of techniques, and I cannot wait to get started. Beautifully illustrated and written, it is one of the most useful books I have ever purchased, especially if you like Indian food and or spices. A very inspirational book and highly recommend!

Similar to Salt, Fat, Acid... you learn as you explore new ways of cooking. While it is packed with recipes Indian cooking ingredients and methods can be overwhelming and discouraging without guidance. Thats where this book excels. So well organized and descriptive and beautifully bound. I bought a 2nd copy for my beach house where I only have room for a handful of cookbooks. The flavors are bold and wonderful, but you will need to stock your pantry with additional spices and condiments to do many of the recipes. It will take some effort but it's incredible. I thought I knew everything there was about cooking rice - but apparently, I did not. The cauliflower is amazing.

So far, I have tried the Kerala Red Fish Curry, the Red Curry Shrimp, Karela Garam Masala, North Indian Garam Masala, and the Vibrant Cilantro Chutney. All have been delicious! I get rave reviews every time I make anything from this book. Approachable ingredients and techniques. I would recommend a small coffee grinder to grind your own spices, but it's not necessary. You can purchase a lot of it pre-ground from most grocery stores.
