Easy Indian Cooking: Ready to Spice Up The Menu?

Indian dishes are hard to find around these parts, there aren’t many places in Arkansas/Oklahoma you can get good Indian food. That made me particularly happy that I could check out Easy Indian Cooking (2nd edition). It’s always nice to have meals that are different!

One of my favorite things about the book is the way the author, Suneeta Vaswani, breaks it down. All of the intimidation is taken out as the basics are broken down so well even a meat and potato Southern girl like me can understand! The book is broken down into some easy go to chapters so that you can seek out just what you are looking for.

Another thing I love about the book, aside from the stunningly appetizing photos, is the amount of things I was able to learn about Indian culture. For example, flipping through the first time I learned about Chaat, which is part of the first chapter of recipes. Chaato, the verb form, means to lick.

I thought it was pretty cool that there is a whole section of foods designed to go under that category. Reminded me of growing up and licking the spoon when the adults cooked, you only wanted to do that to the best dishes, so these have to be great!!!
