Quick-Fix Indian: Easy, Exotic Dishes In 30 Minutes Or Less (Volume 5)

Ruta brings a fresh perspective to a cuisine most people think of as mysterious, complex to cook, and overly rich. Her Indian food is stylish, modern and light—equally at home with a glass of Pinot Grigio or mango lassi. Ruta’s 125 quick and easy Indian recipes, all made in 30 minutes or less, comprise the 5th cookbook in the highly successful AMP Quick-Fix series.

For too long, Indian cuisine has been perceived as complex and time-consuming to prepare. Quick-Fix Indian aims at making Indian cooking accessible to everybody—beginners, experienced cooks, and anyone wanting to try a new cuisine.

The 125 dishes are modern and fresh, yet rooted in tradition. These recipes are identifiable as Indian, but most haven't been seen before.

While simple to make, these dishes are bright, modern, and have complex flavors. Recipes include quick breakfasts, soups, curries, snacks, and sweet drinks such as Chickpea Salad with Pomegranate, Stir-Fried Beef with Peppers, Beet Raita with Cilantro, Sweet Coconut Rice, and more.

Most ingredients are easy to find, with some requiring a trip to a health-food or Indian store. The book offers 'exotic' substitutions for readers who want to try them, like using canola oil instead of mustard oil.

It's a fun cookbook, written in a lighthearted manner that amuses and provides solid cooking tips.
