Indian Family Kitchen
Classic Dishes for a New Generation
by Anjali Pathak
When I used to live in the East Village, NYC, I lived walking distance to "Curry Row." You'd walk by, minding your own worries of the day, and the spicy flavorful aromas wafting through the air would beckon you. Ease your mind and nourish your body with hope. I didn't know much beyond the basics of tandoori this, vindaloo that so I made a point of trying a different restaurant each time.
I rarely cook Indian food at home because I don't know how, or where to start. Anjali Pathak to the rescue. The photos are colorful, mouthwatering and bold. I love her kitchen shortcuts and "My Secret" tips as we all have those days where we need cooking to be a cool summer breeze. This cookbook is not for timid or bland palates. Most of the recipes call for a liberal use of spice. A few ingredients like curry leaves are hard to find, but most can be found at your local supermarket.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
