Author: Betty Crocker Editors

This unique cookbook teaches you how to prepare delicious, satisfying, authentic Indian food at home, as well as gives you insight into the culture of exotic India. In Betty Crocker's signature style, this book demystifies Indian cooking for the American home kitchen. Betty Crocker has worked in collaboration with a noted Indian culinary expert to develop recipes for Indian cooking that will be foolproof for the American kitchen. This book shows that Indian food is much more than just "curry" it's a cuisine with lots of variety and exciting flavors. The majority of recipes in this book use ingredients that are familiar to all Americans like spinach, potatoes, lentils, shrimp and rice - but with an Indian twist that spices up the table. Besides great recipes, this book gives a wide-ranging look at the culture and people of India through fascinating photos and information about traditions and lifestyle. Included are recipes that will be familiar to anyone who has dined at an Indian restaurant in America, mainly from northern India. In addition, there are more specialized regional recipes for dishes from south, east and west India.

There are more than 180 foolproof recipes and over 70 gorgeous four-color photos in the book.
