I have had a copy of this for a few years now and it is excellent.The recipes are easy to follow,listing ingredients in the order that they are used.There is a section describing spices,how to make curry pastes and also a glossary of herbs,spices and techniques.Very simple.I'd recommend this for anyone who would like to delve into Indian cooking for the first time.I decided i'd like something completelt different from the every day meals and this is what I found.There are vegetarian recipes,desserts and drinks as well as main courses.Some take a few hours,some are quick,but I find that there's something for everyone in here.Enjoy the adventure!Complete Indian Cooking: 325 Deliciously Authentic Recipes for the Adventurous Cook

Highly recommended,
By Food lover at large - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Complete Indian Cooking (Hardcover)
Most cookbooks are either full of pretty pictures with so-so recipes or full of strong recipes but no pictures. This book makes a new niche for itself on the rather crowded indian cuisine shelf by being worthy on both accounts: fantastic quality pictures and a comprehensive cookbook with delightful recipes. It even has calorie and nutrition information for the recipes. The only drawback is that some of the pictures are just there to fatten the book, just ingredients being mixed in a pan which don't add any real value but there is always a picture of the final meal. If you wanted to buy a single book on indian cooking and care about pictures, this would have to be the one.

One of the best cookbooks you can buy.,
By J. J. Epperson "The Saj" - Published on Amazon.com
I bought this cookbook from Borders for $9.99. I was a bit skeptical of the title but the pictures inside looked appetizing and it contained many dishes I enjoy.This has been the best cookbook I've ever bought. Why do I say that? Because I've used it more than any other cookbook I've ever owned. First off, the prologue is an excellent introduction to spices and herbs. The cookbook is expansive enough for almost any dish type be it meat (beef, fish, chicken, etc) or vegetarian (from potato to rice and more). I've cooked a dozen or more recipes from this book. All have been delicious, many superb. We've had many people over and all have been amazed by the food. Be it a curry, spinach saag, home made cheese or flat breads. But why is this cookbook so great? Because it got me cooking! -- Some notes regarding this cookbook. I found that many dishes could use to be a tad hotter. It does seem to be toned down to American palates. But it may also depend on your definition of red & green pepper. Different varieties greatly differ in heat. Second, I found most dishes which called for lemon/lime call for a bit much in regards to American palates. So try seasoning to taste instead of going with what they call. (Mind you this comes from someone who eats fresh limes.) 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

It really is the "Best Ever" Indian cookbook,
By Micheal D. Slack "MSlack" - Published on Amazon.com
We have now tried many of the vegetarian and seafood recipes in the cookbook. They are uniformly quick, easy, and delicious. We haven't found any dish that we have not liked, and are now eating almost exclusively from this cookbook.
