India is a vast and varied land; and not surprisingly, the variation and diversity is reflected in the different styles and practices of cooking. Moreover, a significant proportion of the population being vegetarian, India has no equal in the field of vegetarian cooking. With changing times, there have been continuing changes in the kitchen size and its equipment on the one hand and in taste and diet preferences on the other. This is naturally more pronounced in the urban areas where the housewife is hardpressed for time, for space and for help. Elaborate cooking methods like those of the maharajas or those used in Moghlai and Nawabi cuisines are just not practical anymore, Accordingly, my emphasis has been on simple recipes which can be prepared in resonable time. And whilst catering to the Indian weakness for rich dishes and sweets, I have borne in mind present-day medical and nutritional advice and kept the extent of fats used in cooking to the minimum. In this selection of desi recipes, I have tried to place before you dishes which are Indian but at the same time different from the usual run and dishes which keep in mind the needs of good health. I wish you happy cooking and eating. Tarla Dalal
