The Secrets of India Cookbook: All About Spice and Everything Nice

Most people love the complexities of Indian cooking but are too intimidated to try and prepare it themselves. The truth is, Indian cooking is easy to prepare, although many recipes do have an abundance of ingredients and spices. But that is the magic of Indian cuisine – the subtle blending of those fabulous spices. The important thing is that the cook controls the level of spiciness. More if you love your food hot and less if children eat the meals. That is the case with all the recipes in the Secrets of India Cookbook.

Healthy Indian cuisine includes many vegetables and vegetarian options such as spiced-up beans and lentils. Indians take cooking seriously. Recipes are passed down to family members for generations because good food is considered important. Most of these great meals are served over rice and with Indian bread.

Interestingly, curry, that staple of Indian cooking, is a British spice invented to simulate India’s garam masala. Anyone interested in Indian cooking should have the basic spices in their pantry. They can be bought in either a specialty store or online.
