Madhur Jaffrey's Quick & Easy Indian Cookery (BBC Books Quick and Easy Cookery Series)
A number of good Indian cookbooks have appeared recently, including Chandra Padmanabhan's Dakshin (LJ 4/15/94) and Neelam Batra's The Indian Vegetarian (LJ 6/15/94), and Jaffrey's quick and easy recipes are a nice addition to these more ambitious titles. Well known both as an authority on Indian cuisine and as an actress, Jaffrey offers dishes that are authenic-no skimping on the all-important Indian spices-but have been streamlined or are simple enough to be made, on the whole, in fewer than 30 minutes: Delicious Chicken Bits, Spicy Grilled Fish, Chicken in a Green Coriander Sauce. She writes with charm and sophistication, and her mouth-watering recipes are very tempting. For most collections.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
