DESCRIPTION:
Unlike the fare you get at your local Indian takeout joint, her food is vibrant and surprisingly quick and easy to make.Meera serves up a feast of over 130 delicious recipes collected from three generations of her family. In Made In India, Meera Sodha introduces you to the food she grew up eating every day. Made In India will change the way you cook, eat, and think about Indian food forever.. On the menu is everything from hot chapatis to street food (chili paneer; beet and feta samosas), fragrant curries (spinach and salmon, or perfect cinnamon lamb curry) to colorful side dishes (pomegranate and mint raita; kachumbar salad), and mouthwatering desserts (mango, lime, and passion fruit jello; pistachio and saffron kulfi). The best Indian food is cooked (and eaten) at home.Real Indian food is fresh, simple, and packed with flavor
Bring on the 100 clove curry! Not to mention fire-smoked eggplant, chicken livers in cumin butter masala, and beet and feta samosas. Particularly useful are the detailed glossary of ingredients and spices, proposed menus and ideas for leftovers." Bill Daley, Chicago Tribune. "The recipes are unpretentious and were immediately promoted by my family of critics into must-makes for the monthly dinner rotation, new staples for a season of chill and damp."

I've made the eggplant-cherrytomato curry and followed it to the letter (except for the tsp of sugar!) and it is fantastic--you don't have to precook the eggplant as you do with so many recipes, but be sure to cut it thin, as Meera says. And the curried cauliflowe. Even if you've never tried Indian food, you need this cookbook. I can't rave about this cookbook enough. Where to start? I'd eaten Indian food very few times before cooking from this book--always chicken tikka masala and the occasional samosa. But I'm an avid home cook and heard so many great things about how easy, accessible and fresh these recipes are that I knew I had to try it out.I'm so happy I bought a copy for myself.

I've only tried two recipes, but DANG, they were delicious. I appreciate there's not a bunch of crazy ingredients (though you may have to do a trip to a fancy co-op to find some of the spices [I'm talking to you, anise
