Advantages: Cuts cooking recipes in half the time, less effort, complicated dishes seem easy.

Disadvantages: More pictures would be nice

Microwave Desi Khana is another cookery book by India's number one cookery author Tarla Dalal. I think it's great that her research team have tried and tested these recipes to perfection and have provided such good instructions on how to cook these wonderful items of food. I am starting to think that I can't possible go wrong with her recipes and am really enjoying cooking more and more.

Microwave Desi Khana means Microwave Indian food. As I cook most the time I know how much time and effort goes into cooking Indian food, but I never thought you could use the microwave to save time cooking theses dishes or without them turning out right. Okay so preparation still may take time but once that is done your only minutes away from your finished dish.

First section of the book explains how the microwave works and how to make use of it. The majority of which we probably already know, since we know the dos and don'ts of using a microwave for so many years now.

Contents included:
Jhatpat Naastha - 10 quick snacks recipes
Swaadisht Subziyan - 14 delicious dishes
Dal Chawal aur Achaar - 9 Lentils, rice and pickle recipes
Desi Mithai - 7 Indian dessert recipes

Moong dal Khandvi, the corn and the dessert dishes I have tried out are so far are so yummy. I'm so glad I have halved my time in producing these dishes as it mean I can just makes these dishes without too much effort and wont be put off by the complication of the dish as with these recipes even a novice can make them.

All the recipes are vegetarian so its probably a good way to get vegetables into your diet or to serve to vegetarian guests. Some of the ingredients may need to be brought from an Indian grocery shop online or locally if not available at the big supermarkets. The book it self appears like a small note pad form so it doesn't take up much room and is easy to refer to. It comes with some pictures of the dishes, but I wish they included more as I like to see the appearance of the dish to see how appetitising it is.

Overall a good book to have, I have had good reactions to the dishes produced so far. So why not dazzle your friends and family just by producing dishes within minutes and less effort.
