Take a delicious, breathtaking culinary tour through each of India's diverse regions!

India is a vast and vibrantly diverse country: Its people comprise nearly one-sixth of the world's population, and represent more than 2,000 ethnic groups and every major religion. The cuisines of this fascinating region are just as unique — yet most of the dishes the mind conjures when we think of Indian food represent just a fraction of its varied culinary landscape.

With COMPLETE BOOK OF INDIAN COOKING: 350 Recipes from the Regions of India, author and cooking instructor Suneeta Vaswani invites readers on a culinary journey through this magnificent land. From the saffron scented cuisine of the north to the bursting with flavor spice coast south, the assertive mustard oil-tinged dishes of the east, and the dramatically diverse food of India's western states, readers will unveil a new world of flavor to delight their palates. You won't believe how much more there is to taste:

• Kashmiri Leg of Lamb from the North
• Banana Fritters for the South
• Shrimp in Coconut Milk from the East
• Mango Citrus Chutney from the West
