Editorial Review:
This unique cookbook takes you on a culinary journey of India -- the land of fragrant spices and savory dishes. Working in collaboration with Raghavan Iyer, a noted Indian culinary expert, Betty Crocker takes the mystery out of Indian cooking while keeping every dish authentic and truly satisfying.
The book includes delicious regional recipes from every area of India -- from hearty breads to spicy sauces, succulent main courses to sumptuous desserts -- all served up in Betty Crocker's signature style. It clearly explains the staples of the Indian kitchen, and offers buying tips as well as substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients.
But this is more than just a cookbook. Fascinating photos and information about Indian traditions, as well as Chef Iyer's own memories of life in India, immerse you in the richness of India's land and culture -- and make this a book to savor.

Rating:  - Betty Crocker DOES know Indian!
I have loved Indian food from the first time I tried it. I'm not lucky enough to live close to a town with an Indian restaurant, so I've been forced to learn how to make it at home. I started with some pretty generic recipes, but got more inspired by a Cooking Light article a few years ago. The results of those recipes led me to look for a cookbook that could teach me even more.
I almost fell on the floor laughing when my friend showed me her favorite Indian cookbook! Betty Crocker?!? ... Read More
Rating:  - Vegetarian recipe techniques given are spotty, hit and miss
Beginners will learn a great deal from the full page photos in the written introduction, the first section about spices, spice mixes, and their preparation. Experienced cooks will enjoy reading the sample Indian menus given on page 322 and looking at the fine introduction given. No cookbook so far gives such a fine and photographic introduction to tools, etc. Kudos to the author for making this part of the book. The masala section is very abbreviated - only a few blends given-we want more! For the next ... Read More
Rating: - A great book for beginners to experts.
I bought this book a year ago because I enjoy eating Indian food and wanted to learn the recipes. This book has taught me more than I expected about spices and new foods. I highly recommend this book but be warned, you must like to cook because the dishes often take one to three hours from start to clean up. The reason is Indian dishes require lots of vegetable chopping, spice grinding and measuring, simmering and you will use lots of cookware. It is a workout but I have enjoyed the result of each of my ... Read More
Rating:  - No Title
I received this book from Amazon after reviewing it at a Barnes and Noble because I wanted to know about it before I purchased from Amazon. I am happy with the book and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in authentic Indian food. I haven't made my first dish yet but I have marked the dishes that I plan to make based on how simple they are and there are quite a bit of dishes that I chose. I look forward to reaping the rewards of my culinary ability.
Rating: - Don't get fooled by the title - buy the book!
I was very skeptical that this book would be any good especially for Indian cooking. But after rave reviews from some of my friends and the reviewers on Amazon I bought it and could not have been happier.
Even for someone who grew up in India and is very familiar with Indian cooking, it is an awesome book. Here is what I liked:
- starts with the basics
- gives great suggestions on where to buy items including online stores
- explains the 'why' not just the 'how' which is very ... Read More
