Perfect for you if...

You want to cook real Indian food but don't own seventeen obscure spices or have hours to spend on prep work.
You've watched Sanjeev Kapoor's shows and finally want his recipes in one definitive place.
You're tired of restaurant Indian food tasting better than yours and need a cookbook that actually explains the fundamentals.

Maybe not for you if...

You're after restaurant-level complexity and don't care if a recipe takes four days to execute properly.
You prefer cookbooks heavy on food photography and light on actual recipe density.
You're looking for avant-garde Indian fusion rather than authentic, approachable classics.

About this book

Sanjeev Kapoor is known for an accessible, straightforward approach to cooking that has made him a global media presence. In How to Cook Indian, he presents this philosophy to American audiences through a comprehensive collection of Indian recipes. The book covers the full range of Indian cuisine, from well-known dishes like butter chicken, palak paneer, and samosas to less familiar options including soups and shorbas, kebabs, snacks, starters, main dishes, pickles, chutneys, and breads. The recipes use ingredients that are readily available, with suggested substitutions provided to simplify preparation.
