Author: Jaffrey, Madhur

Ever get a midnight hankering for onion fritters, or for a plate of lamb stewed in coconut milk? The recipes for these Indian delicacies are widely considered to be on the forbidding side. Yet Madhur Jaffrey, an international authority on Indian food and the host of several tandoori-driven TV shows, makes it all seem relatively easy. The kicker: more than 70 of the dishes can be prepared in a half-hour or less.

Proving you can make enticing Indian food in minutes, Jaffrey presents 70 recipes to prepare in under 30 minutes. She uses lots of easy-to-measure spices but few ingredients that need chopping or other prepping. Dishes calling for marinating, simmering untended, or pressure cooking do exceed the 30-minute claim in a few instances. Still, follow Jaffrey's suggestion to make one Indian dish plus a green salad and you'll whip up aromatic, mostly-Indian meals with ease. Recipes for poultry, legumes and vegetables, and the chapter on salads, relishes, chutneys and pickles are especially appealing.
