Perfect for my American Palate
Almost everything I make from this cookbook comes out delicious. The saag paneer (with homemade paneer) is better than any I've ordered in a restaurant. the flavors are really clean. I don't agree with the reviewer who said that everything tastes the same... I found many good complementary recipes in flavor and appearance. Maybe if I grew up with homecooked Indian food I would be a harsher judge, but my American taste buds--which were trained in san francisco--LOVE the food from this book.
not worth the money
The format is not easy to read and it is not well-organized. Many of the recipes are very similar. This is not an inspiring book.
Spicy vegetarian dishes
I gave this book four stars because I expected more traditional recipes. I think the majority of recipes is Ms. Prasad's creation. If you are in search of traditional Indian vegetarian cookery, find "Lord Krishna's Cuisine" by Yamuna Devi or "Dakshin" by Chandra Padmanabhan. The latter does wonders with vegetables, believe me.
That said, everything I cooked so far (spicy potato soup, mulligatawny, navrathna korma, potato and black-eyed pea curry, spinach and lentils, parathas, cilantro chapatis, etc.) has been pretty simple and tasty. I recommend it to anyone who likes vegetables and spice. I liked the variations to stuff parathas, utappams, etc.
