Classic Indian Cooking By Julie Sahni.

Check RCPL Catalog

The best home-cooked Indian meals prepared at my house have definitely been those following Julie Sahni’s detailed, and delicious recipes for classic Indian fare, such as Baigan Masaledar (Spicy Baby Eggplant.)  If you check the reviews at amazon.com, you’ll see that people feel very strongly about this book, and I’m going on record as pro-Sahni.  The index appeals to anyone who admires a strong sense of order, with entries like:  Chicken, Indians’ special fondness for.  Yum. – R.
