Description

Before you put this book back on the bookstore shelf, let me assure you that this is not another cookbook filled with exotic spices and complicated recipes. To avoid recipes that take an eternity to decipher, I have managed to simplify the recipes, used spices [McCormick] that are easily available in a standard American supermarket, and ensured that the overall process does not take too much of one's labor, time or patience. With this assurance I am confident that you will try out the recipes one by one. You will soon realize cooking with Indian spices is not difficult and perhaps may even make you improvise to suit your taste.
