Polite Paradise

I love Indian thanks to my wife introducing it to me when we were dating.  I'll have to check out 'Flavors First' per your recommendation.

I know you'll like that book. Try the fruit salad with mango powder; it's delicious and so unusual! There is another Indian cookbook I once saw at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books. I had a book review website at the time and was wandering around when I came across a booth with six or eight people in front of it. Curious, I checked it out and found the author and her family selling this newly self-published book--Entertaining From an Indian Ethnic Kitchen. And what a book!

They spent some serious money hiring, I am sure, editors and book designers. It is so gorgeous and the food is wonderful too. I don't use it as much as the first one but still I like it a lot. And I try to keep it clean. You can find it at Amazon but I googled just now and found she has a current blog: http://komalinunna.blogspot.com/

I love Indian food too.
