    Looking to pick up a good indian cookbook to help me dive into a type of food I generally only get to enjoy while eating out. Not looking for a comprehensive book, but more so something with simple dishes, the type you would find at a place like Hema's. Vegetarian would be nice as that would be a main focus though some meat dishes would be fine as well (just hate to end up with a book where only a 1/4 of it is focused on what I want). Also would be nice if the majority of spices could be found at The Spice House rather than Devon.
    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I don't know if you read this earlier thread, which includes a discussion of Indian cookbooks.

    Regards,

    I just bought the new Alford/Duguid Cookbook/travelogue: Mangoes & Curry Leaves : Culinary Travels Through the Great Subcontinent (Hardcover)
    by Jeffrey Alford, Naomi Duguid
    It is a beautiful book filled with recipes from India, Tibet and Nepal (most are vegetarian). I haven't tried any recipes from it but I use one of their other books (Hot Salty Sour Sweet).

    Here is the link to Amazon with book descriptions.

    I also love Suvir Saran's book--Indian Home Cooking--but it's only about 2/3 vegetarian. It's very practical--the recipes are pretty straightforward and many of them can be made fairly quickly.
