## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the best.
*by M***L on March 25, 2025*

A great road map to Indian cooking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very focused on the technique (+) , a little precious (-), but a gem overall
*by A***R on June 27, 2012*

It took me a long time to write this review. I first bought this book back in 2000, as a student new to the United States. While I still relied on a few key regional cookbooks that I bought from India for my everyday cooking , along with some recipes jotted by my mother, I hungered for a book that would take away the guesswork and assumptions and improve my hit rate ( Which was quite dismal when I began). I did not want to waste time and precious $ on flop recipes.Also, I now had to work with a selection of ingredients, esp veggies, that were a little different than what I was used to before. Thus, needed to find a cookbook that was more relevant.After looking through the selection of cookbooks available on amazon, I bought "Lord Krishna's Cuisine".Simply put, it was a revelation. I got an insight into many basic things that the cooks I learnt from, including my mom, never articulated (because its second nature to them).For example, Poori / Puri - The fried bread. You need to roll out the dough into uniform thickness else, you wont get the proper ballooning effect when you fry. Maybe common sense to many - not to me. That explained why parts of my poori puffed up and the other parts remained flat.Or Paneer - its important to maintain the correct ratio of the cutting acid to milk to ensure that you get a sweet tasting paneer. I did not know what the ratio was until I saw the clearly laid out table in this book.Now, that I am experienced cook, I depend on my instinct more than measurements but I still use this book as a solid reference to turn to whenever I need to make a dish that's more complicated.The section on sweets is also very thorough and excellent - However, some Americans may find Indian sweets a little cloying because of the high sugar ratio.To Sum it up:1. This book is a very very worthwhile addition. It focuses a lot on technique which is great for newbies or for people that are trying to perfect their recipes .2. Its mostly focused on North Indian cooking ( A good companion south Indian cookbook, for ex , could be Dakshin).3. The use of ghee in this book is excessive in my opinion. I tend to use ghee as a flavoring agent than a main medium.4. The repeated references to Yamuna devi's Guru & all his culinary demands is a little too much for me , but its a small price to pay for this gem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite cookbook of all time!
*by B***B on January 4, 2017*

I LOVE THIS BOOK!! Without a doubt the most well loved and used cookbook in my kitchen. I received it as a gift over 12 years ago when I was just learning to cook and was exploring the world of vegetarian and Indian cuisine. For a long time I was very intimidated by the long list of spices needed for many of the recipes and so it languished. After a few years I moved across the country and still recognizing its huge potential, brought along the cookbook. I found myself in a new job cooking for a large and varied group of people in a kitchen well stocked with all those spices I never knew where to find before. I threw fear out the window, dove right in, and never looked back. I'm so glad I did! I honestly can't remember a single time when I was let down by a recipe in this book. I love the large selection of griddle baked breads, also chickpeas in a creamy karhi sauce, char-flavored spiced eggplant and potatoes (definitely try making a charchari!), pumpkin pakoras, piquant lemon rice, golden pumpkin toovar dal soup, just to name a few. Devi did a great job writing this book, describing techniques, ingredients, menus, and a sprinkling of culture in detail, without making assumptions and leaving you behind to wonder what exactly she meant. The range of recipes is still astounding to me, yet she includes recipes and thorough instructions for very basic things like ghee and paneer. There is a detailed glossary for ingredients, equipment, and techniques, even a small section of Hindi terms and translations. Be aware that this is a vegetarian AND vedic cookbook, so no meat. Also no onions, no garlic, no mushrooms. However, I have yet to find this to be a detriment in any way. If you are also looking for Indian cookbooks that include meat and onions etc, check out Madhur Jaffrey, her books have also never failed me.
