Reddit reviews The Indian Cooking Course: Techniques - Masterclasses - Ingredients - 300 Recipes

When looking for inspiration for Indian food I always reach for Raghavan Iyer's 660 Curries or Monisha Bharadwaj's The Indian Cooking Course.

The latter has become a house favourite. We ended up buying 5 extra copies to gift friends and family.

Some of my favourites:

• The Indian Cooking Course (Monisha Bharadwaj)
  
  
• Made in India (Meera Sodha)
  
  
• Fresh India (Meera Sodha, note: completely vegetarian recipes)
  
  
• I Love Curry (Anjum Anand)
  
  Note: The authors are all British-Indians.

I like Pushpesh Pant, India: The Cookbook. However, it isn't a beginner's cookbook, and might be hard to get into if you haven't cooked Indian food before.

For a great beginner's cookbook: Monisha Bharadwaj, The Indian Cooking Course.

Not as comprehensive as the first one above, and not as beginner friendly as the second, but a nice cookbook with some very good recipes: Priya Wickramasinghe, Food of India.
