Nita Mehta's Best of Indian Cooking

The true art of Indian cooking lies in the subtle use and variation of spices which makes each dish exotic and an exciting new experience.The use of spices,however,does not mean their use in vast amounts,nor does it mean that all the Indian food is extremely hot and spicy,as is generally believed.The dishes can be as hot or as mild as the individual chooses,since it is a matter of personal taste.
