I bought a really excellent book called "Cooking like Mummy-ji" which is Indian-British fusion cooking! It is a *wonderful* book! The authour forced her mum and other relatives to measure things while she copied down recipes instead of just guessing each time, throwing in a pinch of this and a handful of that.
Check it out! I love Indian food, LOVE it, esp potato dishes / cauliflower. Also, onion bhajis, mmmmmm! My kids also love it. If only I had more time! Indian cooking can be very time consuming to do from scratch as I have learned ...
