`Mirdula has stamped her personality on this wonderful blend of the contemporary with the classics - great flair and imagination'. Antony Worrall Thompson
Book Description
Mridula Baljekar shows that creating delicious Indian dishes with fresh ingredients need not be time-consuming. All it takes to make her tasty and authentic meals is a little organization and a few simple steps. Enjoy both classic and contemporary dishes gathered from her many travels throughout India—recipes like Spinach and Potato Soup with Fresh Ginger, Chili Chicken with Coconut and Curry Leaves, Fish in Aromatic Yogurt Sauce, and Onion Raita with Roasted Peanuts. Ranging from soups to sweets, Real Fast Indian Food also includes a guide to ingredients and a menu planner. Mridula Baljekar is a leading authority on Indian cooking; among her many books are Curries: Fire and Spice, The Real Balti Cookbook, and The Complete Indian Cookbook.

Some new combinations and flavors,
By Radhika Nair (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Fast Indian Food (Paperback)
Positives: The recipes are very descriptively named, so one canreally get seduced into trying out a recipe! No extra-long list of ingredients. She introduces common ingredients found in the american markets, that are not usually used in Indian cooking to create some interesting combinations.Ex: Brocolli and Red pepper raita, Tuna burgers,Dill rice , Salmon in creamy sauce etc. There is a section for microwave cooking.Lots of salads and veggie dishes that are totally new to indian food lovers are in here.. Drawback: Absolutely no pictures..so first time cooks and new Indian cooks, might not be happy. However, I like to create a smaller version of her sauces and use it immediately. The madras curry sauce is great..makes your food look and taste like those served at the Indian restaurants..

Best Indian Recipes,
By Ken and Lisa - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Real Fast Indian Food (Paperback)
Although there are no pictures in this book, it is clean and easy to read. Every recipe I have made has had rave reviews from family and guests. There are dishes easy to make in a few minutes, and others that require a prep sauce or spice mixture--so read through the recipes before starting! I recommend this book to anyone who needs fail-safe recipes. They may take longer the first couple times making a dish, but with a bit of practice, you'll be putting together fabulous meals in no time.HINT: Have all ingredients prepped and measured before cooking. |
