Julie Sahni is the author
of my favorite Indian cookbooks. She is originally from India, but now
runs several restaurants in New York. Her books are amazing in the amount
of detail she gives in how to prepare each recipe. There is also a comprehensive
introduction to ingredients, techniques, equipment, etc., and offer a fascinating
introduction to Indian cuisine. She also has recipes from many regions
of India, and provides a lot of background to the dish and the country.
I have cooked from all four of her books, and highly recommend them!

Madhur Jaffrey is another of the most popular authors of Indian cookbooks. She's an actress, living in the UK.

cooking, you will really appreciate these books, which give an excellent
overview to each spice, the cuisine which uses it, and how to purchase
