I love this blasted cookbook when it works, but this is the second error I've found in it. You're going along, adding spices at a critical point, and WHEE!add onions WHAT ONIONS HOW MANY AND HOW CUT UP --

Fortunately, her recipe is on-line, or damage would have resulted. Like, two finely chopped is NOT one sliced in rings, the time-saving format.....

What cookbook?

Must retreat on this --

Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking -- There's only one error, in a recipe that needs a certain amount of water added. This recipe *did* have onion, but it was in metric and onion was the fourth word, so my LBb brain missed it.

Otherwise, I love the cookbook -- every recipe has been wonderful, good pictures to inspire me. Of course it takes all day to create a totally Indian dinner. (There was one recipe with four cups of fresh cilantro -- I cut it back to one, and we'll use even less next time. Maybe it's cultural, but cilantro is all I can taste when it's used as a vegetable....)

I have an Indian cookbook that will probably never get used in my house. It's part of a set of books published by someone like Williams Sonoma, but not Williams Sonoma. So it's in metric.

You're welcome to borrow it, page through it, copy stuff out, whatever your level of committment to homemade Indian food allows you.

Huh. I'd love to look, at least! Thanx --
