Description
Dispel the myth that healthy eating has to be boring with these flavoursome Indian recipes. Every taste is catered for, from fish and seafood, or vegetarian dishes, to classic meat and chicken curries. As well as Tandoori Chicken or Aloo Sag, there are many new combinations using traditional Indian ingredients. There are also many recipes for side dishes too, including breads, rice and relishes. Each dish has a detailed nutritional analysis compiled by low fat experts, and an informative introduction contains all the basic information you need to know before you start low fat cooking, as well as the secrets of good Indian cookery.
Reviews / Votes
Indian cooking with an eye on fat content is the underlying theme to this lavishly illustrated book. With a reputation for being on the greasy side, Indian cookery experts Shehzad Husain and Manisha Kanani, set out to provide a healthy alternative to the ghee-ridden dishes so often encountered in Indian restaurants. All the favourites are found within - kormas, baltis, vindaloos - alongside more eclectic dishes such as baked potato with spicy cottage cheese and lamb with apricots. Nutritional notes accompany each recipe along with tips on what best to serve as accompaniments. Don't be put off by the "healthy" title - all the recipes are truly tasty and attractively presented but with the added bonus of being good for you. - Lucy WatsonMore details
