Book Description

In the last decade, Indian food has grown ever more popular throughout North America. Now, in this one-of-a-kind cookbook, Smita Chandra introduces the ancient art of tandoori cooking, modified for a kitchen or backyard grill. Since most home chefs in America don't have access to a tandoor -- a large clay oven sunk into the ground and layered with glowing charcoal -- Chandra spent years perfecting traditional tandoori recipes for the home grill. In Indian Grill, she presents a complete range of over 100 dishes, from vegetables and chicken to seafood and lamb, with accompanying raitas, chutneys, and dips. Other chapters are devoted to appetizers and drinks, basic sauces, soups and salads, and rice. Recipe headnotes offer the reader a culinary history, evoking the beguiling tastes, smells, and sights of India.

Among the mouth-watering recipes are Machali Masala (grilled breaded salmon steaks marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices); Achari Kabobs (lamb marinated in pickling spices, onions, and vinegar); and Thayir Pachadi (cucumber with grilled potatoes, onions, and tomatoes in yogurt); as well as many others. Vegetarians, who often have little choice at barbecues, will find a sumptuous selection of vegetable dishes, such as Baingan Kashmiri (baby eggplant coated in a sweet-and-sour tamarind fennel sauce served with grilled apples).

Ideal for both the summer backyard barbecue and the indoor kitchen grill, Indian Grill is a fresh, flavorful, and healthy take on Indian cooking, tandoori style.

4 out of 5 stars Why are book dealers pricing this book at such an exorbitant price?????.......2006-08-20

When I became interested in tandoori a few months ago I put in for a book search for this book at Amazon and I gather a few other people did as well. I am afraid that perhaps as a result some book sellers have begun trying to get as much as they possibly could for this book. Currently this book is priced on the internet at betweeen $149.95 and as I check today $2091.59!!! This is crazy!!! I recently got this book on e-bay after having unsuccessfully tried to find a copy that was priced reasonably on the internet. It is a nice book but frankly now that I have a copy I cannot guess what these exorbitant prices might be about other than greed. If you can't get this book try Nita Mehta's "Tandoori Cooking in the Oven" or Pat Chapman's "Tandoori Curry Cookbook". Both books have enough information that I think you will be able to adapt to your grill. Lets not support these kind of exorbitant prices or these kinds of pricing strategies.

5 out of 5 stars Delicious, easy and fun!.......2001-01-09

As a HUGE fan of Indian food, I bought this book on a whim, thinking I would never be able to reproduce some of the wonderful dishes I have had in Indian restaurants. Boy, was I wrong! Smita Chandra is a delightful author who infuses her recipes with a bit of history and a dash of insight into Indian culture. These recipes are simple and easy-to-follow, and can also be prepared on an indoor grill. Most of the ingredients and spices can be purchased at a local Indian grocer or can easily be concocted in your own kitchen using a coffee bean grinder. I never expected to have garam masala on my spice rack -- let alone make it myself! -- but I find myself reaching for it again and again when I prepare some of the wonderful dishes in this cookbook. Suitable for novices and experts alike, Indian Grill will not disappoint you.

5 out of 5 stars Indian Grill - The Art of Tandoori Cooking at Home.......2000-08-18

This is a truly wonderful cookbook - for anyone who lives where it's hot!!! Being able to grill something other than steak or hamburger is a wonderful thing...But this book is also great for anyone who likes "real" Indian cooking or likes ethnic (ie other than American) cuisine but not "spend all day in the kitchen" cuisine. The recipes are easy to follow and fairly easy to execute and they work. The other delightful bonus of this book is Mrs. Chandra's brief but vivid remembrances of her childhood in India that are interspersed throughout the book. I borrowed this book from my local library and am buying it BEFORE I've returned the library copy. This book is well worth owning!
