Indian Beedies Interesting Tip

Last Night I finished probably one of the ten best books I’ve ever read….no joke! I had to read this for my Freshman Year of Highschool, and of course, I was like BLAHH summer reading, even though I like reading, just don’t tell my friends that! BUT I WAS SUPRISED BIGTIME!! I finished it in ONE day, I just couldn’t put it down. I think It’s rare that you find a book that you can really relate to the main character. When I was reading this book I couldn’t believe how well I could picture the characters, because the situations and the language between the friends is the exact same language and instances that my friends and I have went through. Sherman Alexie is DEFINATELY my new favorite author, and I hope he writes more books about teenagers, because he certainly knows how to tell stories about coming of age boys. But if anyone who’s looking at this page thinking, “Oh i don’t know if i should get this…” GET IT..YOU WON’T BE SORRY!!

The book is great. Instructions are clear and concise. Photos are very nice. I made some of the dishes already for my Indian and Pakistani friends and they tell me that the dishes are spot on. Once, I had one of their wives write me a recipe for a dish and I found something almost identical in the book for the same dish.
I ordered this book for a gift for my son – who has just started cooking Indian food.
The recipes are simple and turn out very tasty. The selection of recipes are a good
representation of Indian food.
This book is simply wonderful. I’m vegan and there’s plenty here for my diet. Substitute oil for the ghee. Don’t miss the recipes for Garam Masala spice blend and Chhilka Mung Dal. Amazing and easy.
So far I’ve made about four recipes from this book. They’ve been pretty good. I’m giving the food 4 stars as I don’t have a lot of experience with Indian food. It may be a generous rating.
I just spent about 20 minutes scaling the recipe for Tahari on P. 114. As somebody noted before, The ingredients are not written in the order that one uses them in this book. I don’t know if this is cultural or the author was never taught how to write a recipe. When I see this type of formatting issue with an internet recipe, I immediately dismiss the recipe and move on to another source. I figure, If they don’t know how to format a basic recipe, how good can the food be? And what other careless mistakes did they make? In this same recipe that I had to re-read about 50 times (ok that’s an exaggeration, maybe 10 times), The black cardamom was left out of the description as to where it should be used. Given the large quantity of spices and ingredients in many of the recipes, this is not a small issue. I’m thinking I should have given it a 3 come to think of it.
Not looking forward to spending an extra 10 minutes re-reading every recipe several times and I don’t have time right now to edit the order of the ingredients on every page. Finished venting. I think I’ve been fair though.
I have made three meals following the recipes from this book. In each case, I found the directions straight forward and the results delicious. I appreciate the extra commentary she adds. In particular, I opted to up the level of heat on the vindaloo to make it more authentic. I also appreciate her use of western ingredients (e.g. grainy mustard) to make it easier to find all of the required ingredients or simplify the preparation.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves Indian food and is just starting to cook it.
I love Indian food but it seemed so complicated and expensive. These are wonderful receipes with attainable ingredients
I was looking for a cookbook that would make Indian cooking more accessible and I think I found it. This is an excellent introduction to Indian cooking. The recipes are straightforward and easy to follow and don’t have the “intimidation” factor of some Indian cookbooks. The colorful photos only add to this cookbook’s appeal. I have discovered new ways to prepare chicken and lamb and even Indian style mashed potatoes. This cookbook is my new bible on Indian cooking.Madhur Jaffrey’s Quick & Easy Indian Cooking
I am a born and raised American married to an East Indian. Shorty after our wedding, my husband and I were having a bit of a cultural clash with meals. I was trying to feed him grilled chicken, salads, pastas and all the basics I grew up with. He found them all very boring and was craving a taste of home. A dear mentor and friend of mine took pity on me and gave me a gift she received at her wedding years ago, a copy of Madhur Jaffrey’s original “Invitation to Indian Cooking,” published in 1975. It appeared to be a fabulous book, but several of the recipes looked intimidating so I decided to see if Madhur Jaffrey had published anything a bit less intense, and boy has she ever! Although I had already ordered a different beginner’s Indian cookbook, I figured the more the merrier and the minute I saw “Quick and Easy” in the title, I was SOLD!
I love this cook book! The recipes are simple and fun and are truly great for a beginner. Having been born and raised in India, and also being a terribly fussy eater, my husband does have a few criticisms. He feels the meals are Americanized versions of Indian food, and he also doesn’t feel that any “authentic” Indian cook book would have beef as an ingredient in any of the recipes. (I beg to differ as Muslim’s eat beef and also reside in India.) Either way, both of his concerns were easily addressed. I simply double the chili powder or garam masala in the recipe or add extra green chilies to kick it up a notch. His only other issue is that there were a few recipes he didn’t recognize. This could easily be explained by regional differences.
Regardless of his nit picking, he can’t argue that the meals are absolutely delicious, especially when adjusted to his personal taste. I love how this cookbook helped ease me into Indian cooking and introduced me to many different spices, helping me build my now impressive supply of various ingredients. This book held my hand through the learning phase, showed me that using more than five spices isn’t scary. (Although I will always treasure Ruhta Kahate’s “5 Spices, 50 Dishes” as it walked me through my very first Indian meals.)
Although this is a fabulous book, I’m proud to say I’m now comfortable enough to move on to more complicated recipes and am currently going through Ms. Jaffrey’s original 1975 cook book I mentioned earlier. Yes, the same one I originally found intimidating! Also, for those looking to build their collection, another fabulous cook book is “From Mom With Love . . .: A Complete Guide to Indian Cooking and Entertaining” by Pushpa Bhargava. My fussy husband loves most every single recipe in that book and I don’t have to adjust the heat at all. It would also be good for a newer cook as the recipes are non-intimidating, although I’m personally pleased I had worked with both Ruhta and Madhur’s recipes first to kind of ease in slowly.
So, bottom line, this is great Indian cook book for beginners with tons of helpful tips. Definitely a must have for your cook book collection. Even when you’re past the beginning stage, you’ll still head back to this book occasionally just for the fabulous taste!
My 5 year old grand daughter loves playing dress up and has many frilly dresses. I wanted to get her something that represented a part of my heritage. She has enjoyed dressing up in her “indian Princess” dress (she can’t get away from the princess theme!).
This is to inform you that the size of the costume that i receive for my daughter, did not fit her and it was too late to even reorder. i was so disappointed with the service i received.
We ordered Indian Girl SX 2-4 for our granddaughter, it is wonderfully made and the turn-around time from order to delivery was unbelievably quick. We purchased from Amazon a no-brainer.
This is a really cute costume. Well made with beautiful bead detailing. My 3 year old daughter loves it and wears it for dress up play almost every day.
Kids couldn’t get enough. Package ingridients are only slightly different so I ignored the directions added 2 packs to sauteed vegetables, mixed with chicken stock, coconut milk and added browned chicken. Very quick. Have yet to get a full plate of my own.
After reading all the positive reviews I decided to give this product a try. Man, was this surprisingly good! It tastes so authentic, yet so simple. Depending on which type I use, I usually add onions, chicken, potato. My favorite is the chicken curry which I added cauliflower, mushrooms, and chicken. My favorite! My least favorite was the lamb curry. Definitely give this a try if you haven’t already!
