Review::
I've actually never had Indian food before I got this cookbook. Crazy I know. I'm living in Scotland! Indian food is the go to take away food. I'm American though and we tend to go south of the border for more Mexican foods. But, I wanted to give Indian a try.
Let me say first and foremost that this is probably the more simple and easy cookbook I have ever owned! There is a small section before all the recipes which gives you some quick tips on how to prepare your foods early and have things at the ready for a fast and easy cook time. I loved this! It made an Indian novice like myself get it done fast.
I wanted to make Street Corn-on-the-Cob {Bhuna Huva Maki}and Dry Green Beans {Sukhi Hari Rajmah} first to give the Indian spices a try to see if I even liked them. I was afraid I wouldn't, but oh boy did I! I don't think I will ever eat my vegetables plain any more. I'll be adding spices to shake things up. Both dishes were uber simple and easy to make.
I would definitely advise purchasing The Three Sisters Spice Kit that they have for sale on their website. I had to go to 2 different stores to get all the spices I needed. I would have rather just got the kit and known it has everything I will need to make anything in the cookbook. It is worth it.
Ooooh! This looks fun! I always want to give Indian Food a try in the kitchen, but I'm never brave enough! Maybe this cookbook would be what I need...
