Everyday Indian Cooking

The variety in Indian cooking is almost beyond imagination. Hundreds of books have been written on Indian cooking, each claiming to be authentic. However, most of the recipes in these books are so complicated and time consuming that only professional chefs have the courage to even try them. Most of the Indian cooking is learned by watching others and experimenting. The recipes are transferred from one generation to the other. Each family is an expert in only a few dishes. These recipes are kept as family treasure. The royal families in the past gave considerable boost to these family chefs.
