Proving you can make enticing Indian food in minutes, Jaffrey presents 70 recipes to prepare in under 30 minutes. She uses lots of easy-to-measure spices but few ingredients that need chopping or other prepping. Dishes calling for marinating, simmering untended, or pressure cooking do exceed the 30-minute claim in a few instances. Still, follow Jaffrey's suggestion to make one Indian dish plus a green salad and you'll whip up aromatic, mostly-Indian meals with ease. Recipes for poultry, legumes and vegetables, and the chapter on salads, relishes, chutneys and pickles are especially appealing.
