Moghul Microwave: Cooking Indian Food the Modern Way

Summary: Sahni's microwave magic creates real Indian food
Review: Don't disdain this marvelous book. Julie Sahni teaches you how to cook Indian food in the microwave, with flair and flavor. In the process, you learn things about microwave cooking you never knew. The microwave really can make "real" food, and Julie Sahni shows you how. The recipes need the quantity of spices increased in some cases, but this book is an endless delight and resource. Wonderful for summer months when you crave the flavor of that luscious curry but want to beat the heat in the kitchen, or just for any time when speed and ease seem the way to go! I love this book. I own over 30 Indian cookbooks, but I return to this often.

Summary: These microwave recipes really do save time and taste great!
Review: I tried several of her recipes after watching Ms. Sahni on the Frugal Gourmet a few years ago.
The dishes I prepared were a hit with family and friends. I would especially recommend making the Indian sweets using her microwave methods. The results were quick and delicious!

Summary: "Moghul Microwave" is a wonderful book...
Review: This is the first time I've ever read a cook-book that actually gives you real step-by-step recipies that work really well. The directions are obvious, even for a initiate like myself, and at least 95% of the ingredients are the off-the-shelf variety. I also love the way Julie Sahni "narrates" her recipies, giving me just enough outside information to add some depth to the dish, and yet not so much as to detract from the recipies themselves. What else can I say except that my copy is used almost every weekend, and it's already dog-eared and well worn. I just hope she comes out with a follow-on at some point...
