"Good introduction to Indian Cooking"
Written by an author who runs a cookery school, this is very much a "how to" book with a variety of recipes. There is a good section on spices and their impact in the dish plus a link to a video showing how to create a basic masala sauce and what each stage of the process looks like. I've tried several of the recipes and all gave good results. In summary a great book to learn the basics of Indian cooking but also useful to competent cooks as Anjula introduces a staged approach to adding spices which I find works very well.
