The Classic 1,000 Indian Recipes

Description:

In most people's minds, there's a lushness to the flavors of India: all that spiced curry sauces that smell like incense when they're cooking and thick, flavorful chutneys in an amazing variety of colors, tastes, and textures. Foulsham's series brings the many moods of Indian cuisine to European and American cooks. Recipes use ingredients you don't have to order from Bombay and utensils you already have in the kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Complete Cookbook

L.W. · July 19, 2025

This book has everything you need, including how to make your own spice mixes, Nan, papadams, Lassi, paneer. You can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious, full of variety, very bare-bones

M.M. · August 21, 2017

I've been using this book for a couple of years now and have only had maybe 1 recipe that I found underwhelming... and it was still fine, just not as delicious as all the others!Several reviewers have mentioned that it is not a great book for a novice, and I agree. There are no pictures and the instructions are complete but minimal - you have to read the whole recipe through before you start and you need some cooking experience to be sure you're doing things correctly. It's really written for an audience experienced with British and French cooking who wants to try something different. Additionally, while measurements are provided in several different forms the ingredient names and such tend to be British, so Americans might have some translation issues. Finally, there's no context for the recipes so if you want to know region or history you'll have to look online. Personally I don't see these as drawbacks, however- it's just a different style. In return, you get a huge variety of recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, Easy, Delicious, Practical .. Did I Mention Cheap?

C. · September 12, 2004

I've used this book for a couple of years, and it has never failed me. It's the first and best idea-generator when I find myself faced with a hungry-right-now feeling/family, and a kitchen with not much in it. Got only three aging zuccinis and a potato? This book guarantees that you'll make something wonderful of it. One egg and a wilted broccoli stem? No problem. Guests coming in half an hour? Got it covered. Not only will they eat, but they'll eat well and be mighty impressed besides. The only investment required, besides the very modest price of the book itself, is a half-dozen basic spices - especially since most of the recipes don't require (or miss) meat. Cheap, fast, creative, delicious, healthy.... I could go on even further but will only add that this book is the one and only thing I actually missed when I left it behind in the process of leaving my husband! And I'm buying another copy today.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is an Incredible Introduction to Indian Cooking, with Basic and Advanced Recipes

C.P. · August 5, 2022

I haven't had the time to make any of the recipes yet, but I looked at the table of contents, then many of the recipes, and I was astounded at the variety and type of recipe included, from basic yoghurt to a more advanced rice dish. But with 1,000 recipes, they have room to include over 30 basic recipes before even starting the 20 categories of recipes from sambars to drinks, including soups, dals, rice, and ice cream! This book seems to be almost a complete basic cooking school for Indian cooking. This is a welcome addition to my cooking library, and since it appears so well-stocked with all levels of recipes, I'm going to see about adding other books from the same line. I really like this book, and I'm glad I got it! I've already picked out a dozen recipes I want to make as soon as possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars I really love it.

H.L. · April 20, 2013

This has become one of my favorite cookbooks already. Though it lacks photos it is rich in interesting recipes which are so much fun to try. I enjoy reading it before bed. It is a nice little book, love it!

J.S.M. · February 5, 2014

There really isn't a 1,000 recipes here. A lot of the recipes are an ingredient variation on a single recipe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enough Indian recipes to keep you going for years!

m. · June 15, 2001

Not only is this book amazing in its scope and depth (there's over 80 recipes just for desserts, for crying out loud!), almost every recipe I've tried so far has been fantastic. This is not really a cookbook for the faint-of-heart; there's no pictures, and most recipes are simply a list of ingredients and a paragraph or two of cooking instructions. But, properly followed, these recipes yield dishes that are simple, tasty, and authentic (so says my Indian friend, who I had to pester for months to get my copy back from after I loaned it to him). And for under $10, it's hard to argue with the price - there's more good stuff in here than glossy cookbooks that cost 3 or 4 times as much.

The best cookbook ever!

A.C. · May 17, 2017

The best cookbook ever! I used this book for many years, and was cooking from it on a regular basis. The recipes are clear and always taste good. After moving house I lost the book, but now bought it again, and can pick up where I left off. I am so relieved!
