Bravo! It’s nice to see people cooking Indian food at home. The link to the book is landing on something weird, but I’m going to research that book. Another one, if you’re interested and not already aware of, is Classic Indian Cooking by Julie Sahni. I feel like it’s my Joy of Cooking of Indian food.
Thanks for the tip. Indian’s gotta’ be one of my favorite foods to cook (and eat). And the house always smells so good afterward! I’ve updated the link — it’s directed to Amazon now, instead of indiebound. Hope that works and I hope all’s well in your world…
