Real Fast Indian Food: More Than 100 Simple, Delicious Recipes You Can Cook in Minutes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Positives: The recipes are very descriptively named, so one can
really get seduced into trying out a recipe! No extra-long list of ingredients.
She introduces common ingredients found in the american markets, that are not usually used in Indian cooking to create some interesting combinations.Ex: Brocolli and Red pepper raita,
Tuna burgers,Dill rice , Salmon in creamy sauce etc.
There is a section for microwave cooking.Lots of salads and veggie dishes that are totally new to indian food lovers are in here..
Drawback: Absolutely no pictures..so first time cooks and new Indian cooks, might not be happy.
It isn't fast cooking..but its cooking that's well worth the time. Preparing curry sauces beforehand is what makes her concept of cooking "fast" work.
However, I like to create a smaller version of her sauces and use it immediately. The madras curry sauce is great..makes your food look and taste like those served at the Indian restaurants..

5 Spices, 50 Dishes: Simple Indian Recipes Using Five Common Spices Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book. It's premise is simple, but not simplistic - take 5 spices combined in various ways and produce a variety of Indian dishes for any occasion. Everything I've made from it has succeeded, and I will certainly make again. The coverplate (chickpeas with dill) is total comfort food, and uses dill as a vegetable in a new and surprising way. I've also made and enjoyed the Cabbage Salad (a fresh take on slaw), Indian Fried fish (tasty and savory), Sweet Potato with Ginger and Lemon, Corn with Mustard Seeds, and the fantastic Mussels in a Green Curry. And anyone who thinks they don't like okra NEEDS to try the Okra Raita - my favorite of all favorites in the book.
Recipes are well-presented, clear and easy to follow. I cook a lot of Indian food, but in no way felt that these recipes were dumbed-down at all. Kahate wisely confines her recipes to simple, practical ones with accessible ingredients. Does Indian food offer complex biriyanis with 15 spices and many ingredients? Sure. But that's not what is offered here. This is fresh home cooking, bursting with flavor, yet able to be cooked quickly. The flavors of the ingredients is prominent. And Kahate is a good guide to ingredients and techniques.
Highly recommended. Mine is already stained from much use!
