Spending time in the kitchen cooking and preparing meals is getting more and more difficult with the demands of today's busy lifestyles. But, with so many ready to cook ingredients now available in the supermarket, it is far easier to create fast, attractive and delicious Indian dishes. Mridula Baljekar shows that all you need is a little organisation and a few vital simple steps. Her recipes - gathered from her many travels round India - range from chicken & chick pea pilau and spiced prawns to vegetarian dishes like black eye beans and mushroom. No recipe takes longer than 45 minutes from preparation to serving, and menus are also included. Mridula shows how a three-course Indian meal takes just 60 minutes from work top to table.
