Neelam Batra's book is one of the greatest books out of all the cookbooks I've. It is not for beginners. I was born and brought up in India and I come from a family of excellent cooks. I am Chef myself. I've come across so-called Authentic recipes and you see half of the Indian cook books out there are not even spelt right. Writing and compiling 1000 recipes is not easy and that too, doing everything right and great tasting, is to be appreciated.
First of all, to come to this book, you need to know the basics of Indian cooking. You also need to know about Indian spices. There are no photographs.  I see a lot of beginners cry about books without snaps.  I too would wish that if I am not familiar about a cuisine.  So its understandable.  If you want to try cooking Indian food, try some simple books. You should graduate in your knowledge of Indian cuisine, spices and cooking skills to come to this book. It is also an excellent book for people from India to have it in their collection because it has recipes from almost all regions of India. Hats off to her. I've recommended this book for our recipe collection at work.

So people who love to cook serious Indian food, this book is for you.

I love to cook and love Indian food, but I've never gotten around to cooking any authentic recipes. This just may be the book to get me to do it. Thanks for a fine review.
