homes, villages and streets. Reading A Taste of India, is like reading an Indian
Travelogue. Ms. Jaffrey makes food even more exciting with her personal reminscences. With
photographs and recipes from across India, she covers in style and ease the diversity and

Madhur Jaffrey's Quick and Easy
Indian Cooking
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 |

Madhur Jaffrey
As an actress, TV presenter and writer, Madhur Jaffrey has many strings to her bow,
but it is for her cookery that she’s best known. She can single-handedly take credit
for igniting the home cook's interest in Indian food in this country and making it more
popular and accessible. Ironically, though, as a child she never went into the kitchen and
when she left India, couldn’t cook a thing.
Born
in Delhi, Madhur Jaffrey left India at the age of 19 to pursue her passion for acting by
studying drama at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. It was here that her love
of cooking began, though more out of necessity than anything else. While in London she
desperately missed Indian home-cooked food, so she started writing letters to her mother
asking to be taught how to cook. She would be sent regular recipes and effectively learnt
to cook by correspondence.
