Reader Reviews
Mridula Baljekar's THE LOW-FAT INDIAN VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK isn't quite what I expected -- "low fat" cookbooks, in my experience, tend to eschew deep frying and ingredients such as butter, to offer alternative cooking methods that still capture the flavor of full-fat recipes, and to list the nutritional information for each dish. This one does none of these. Baljekar's idea of low fat is to suggest using half & half in place of full-fat cream. The "High Days and Holidays" chapter, filled with fritters, batter-fried vegetables, and eggs, has a disclaimer that the recipes therein should "be regarded as occasional treats by anyone following a low-fat diet." A helpful warning to be sure, but I spent my money on what I thought was "the" low-fat recipe collection. American cooks -- at least those who do not live in big towns with specialty grocery stores -- may be frustrated by the lack of suggestions for replacing hard-to-find items like creme fraiche. I am also disappointed by the lack of Indian names for standard dishes, either on the recipe titles or in the index. Nonetheless, the recipes in THE LOW-FAT INDIAN VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK are fairly simple to prepare and tasty. While I would not recommend the book to those who are just beginning their foray into Indian cookery and want to know more about its traditions, or to those who are trying to count calories while they liven up their menus, it is a nice supplement to other Indian cookbooks. The table of contents: 1. Starters and Appetizers pgs. 1-13 2. Salads and Chutneys pgs. 14-41 3. Soups pgs. 42-47 4. Protein Dishes pgs. 48-78 5. The Bread Basket pgs. 79-95 6. The Rice Bowl pgs. 96-122 7. The Vegetable Basket pgs. 123-169 8. Cooking Sauces, Marinades and Seasonings pgs. 170-181 9. Desserts pgs. 182-195 10. High Days and Holidays pgs. 196-253 11. Drinks pgs. 254-264
