Neelam Batra de-mystifies Indian cuisine with this diverse and generous collection of recipes. She divides them into categories: Spice Blends; Starters, Snacks, Soups, and Salads; Curries and Entries; and Chutneys and Sides, providing not only recipes but some Indian history and a good deal of helpful information about menu planning, nutritional concerns, and the culinary traditions of the country.
