Understanding Indian Spices

with Julie Sahni, author "Classic Indian Cooking"

Whole or ground, toasted or fresh, spices such as turmeric, coriander and cumin are the soul of Indian cooking. Learn how to use the essential spices and herbs to maximum effect as you infuse oil, make a masala (spice mix) and discover the proper way to introduce spices into curries and other Indian dishes.

"There is no better introduction to cooking Indian food than the seminal books of Julie Sahni, Classic Indian Cooking and Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking (both from William Morrow). Sahni is a teacher at heart and in her books she guides the reader easily through the basics of the cuisine, as well as in-depth analyses of the ingredients, cooking methods, and implements that are unique to the cooking of India. The beautiful and erudite Ms. Sahni, a former dancer and city planner, was born and raised in India where, like for so many families there, food was central to the life of the home. When she decided to write cookbooks, she returned to the food she knew so well from her upbringing, all the while reexamining it and adding to her knowledge through trips back and forth to India and tireless research. Her palate is so keen, and her enthusiasm so infectious, that she is routinely invited to lecture on the science of tasting and, of course, to teach the intricacies of Indian food. These two books are must-haves for any serious culinary cookbook collection, Indian or otherwise".
