One thing is to enjoy an Indian meal at a restaurant, but it is a whole other world having to cook it on your own!

Making great food is more than buying a list of ingredients and following a list of directions. It is about knowing those little tips and tricks that you discover, once you have made it a bunch of times. This cook book provides a short cut from all those failed Sunday dinners trying to recreate your favorite Indian dish.

Unlike many other cook books on the subject, this one does not pretend to portray an elaborate overview of Indian cuisine but sticks to the basics. The aim is instead to enable the readers to prepare a limited number of authentic meals, to serve for guests on special occasions – but cooked to perfection on the first attempt. This is done not only by providing recipes but also by explaining the most common mistakes, cooking techniques, essential ingredients etc.
