No eggs, no garlic, no onions: this is strict indian vegetarian food; but why eat meat when you have hundreds of exquisite ways to prepare vegetables?

The descriptions of the dishes are mouthwatering. I want to buy one of these for myself and 3 friends, but unfortunately it's out of print.
Rating:  Summary: wonderful encycopedic treatment of Indian cooking Review: This is a wonderful cookbook, filled with a wide range of recipes as well as information on herbs, spices, making ghee and yogurt, and Hindi translations of English terms used in the cooking of Indian food. This book is a real gem, which I hope will be reprinted.
Rating:  Summary: One of the best cookbooks I have ever encountered. Review: This is one of those cookbooks that gets your mouth watering while you read it. Not having had any prior experience preparing Indian cuisine, I was intimidated at first, but once I tracked down the unusual and exotic ingredients and learned the basic cooking techniques, I have become a true aficianado. Most of the recipes I have tried are among the most flavorful foods I have ever eaten.
