Let's Eat Indian at Home

Summary: Easy no-nonsense intro, opens a world of opportunity.
Review: I bought my first copy of this book after being taught some basic Indian cooking from an Indian friend back in 1992. I immediately found it useful and it opened up my mind to Indian cooking more as a concept than my friend had done.
Its simple recipes are brilliant, producing great meals and as an introduction it has my best recommendations.
It does not, however, introduce you to more complex aspects of indian cooking: Regional differences and their cultural heritage is barely mentioned and it was not from this book I learned to distinguish Mughal cuisine from, say, Gujarati.
Still it is my all-time favorite cookling book that I am now online to purchase more copies of for a privately held basic course in Indian cooking.
