From Publishers Weekly
Over the past several years, Indian cookery has made inroads into the American food scene. And people are beginning to discover there's a lot more to it than curry. For those not well acquainted with Indian cooking, this is a good introduction to a wide-ranging cuisine. As the title suggests, styles vary from region to region, and Canadian journalist Chandra does her best to reflect these differences in her choice of fare. Easy-to-follow recipes cover everything from drinks to side dishes and desserts, and take in both meat and vegetarian foods. Chandra prudently describes different cooking methods and ingredients; recipes for producing such basics as coconut milk, ghee (clarified butter) and cottage cheese are provided. This is also a good source for anyone seeking lighter fare with less emphasis on meat. At least one problem faces cooks, though: some ingredients, chiefly spices and herbs, will not be quickly or simply obtained without access to Asian or Indian markets. An alternative: avail yourself of the mail-order list Chandra offers; substitution or omission is not an option.

From Library Journal
Other than Julie Sahni's and Madhur Jaffrey's books, there are few good Indian cookbooks available here. Chandra's collection of family-style dishes is an approachable introduction to the cuisine, including a variety of simple regional recipes. The headnotes are good, and while most of the ingredients called for are readily available, Chandra includes a shopping guide for those essential spices that may be more difficult to find. For subject collections.
