Since the publication of her first book, An Invitation to Indian Cooking, more than forty years ago, Madhur Jaffrey has been the preeminent authority on Indian home cooking in America. In this new cookbook, she takes readers on a journey across her homeland, revealing the food that real Indians eat at home. Eschewing the meat-based curries that have gained popularity in the West, she introduces readers to the more traditional, healthier, yet no less delicious vegetarian dishes that Indians enjoy every day. With more than 200 delectable new recipes--beautifully illustrated with lush, full-color photographs--this remarkable new book is sure to reshape the way we think about, and cook, Indian food.
