Beautiful Book - But Beware
This is an absolutely beautiful book with interesting recipes, vibrant text and gorgeous pictures. I say beware because it isn't what I thought it would be, in the sense that it is not a traditional Indian cookbook. You won't find Americanized Chicken Vindaloo in this book, or dishes that might be considered main dish selections. It's essentially a book of Indian snacks.Having said the above, it's a great book. Not being Indian myself, I can't comment on the variety or accuracy of the recipes, but it looks like it will be fun to try some of them out.Enjoy!

Fascinating.
Wonderful spicy, exotic, creative food. A challenge to source the ingredients but the flavors of the fruit and spice combinations are stellar.

Delightful But Elusive For Me
I bought the book because many reviewers emphasized the author’s inclusion of her childhood memories of Indian cuisine. Manet Chatham is a delightful personality on television, and I looked forward to knowing her better through her anecdotes. Unfortunately, most of her descriptions and stories are out of my reach because the font chosen to print them is very small and faint. I suppose if I were 30 years younger, I might have less trouble, but, alas, for me the book is just not worth the effort.The index is printed in an even smaller font, which would necessitate my using a magnifying glass. However, I’m glad to say that the cooking directions and ingredients are printed in a larger, readable font. Many of the recipes are enticing and not overly complicated, so I don’t regret fully the purchase. But for anyone over the age of 60, I offer a caution.

Book probably good, never received, it took some effort but am excited to report that replaced!!!
An update. I had given up on getting this book and it arrived today! So glad to be able to add this tome to my collection! Snacks are so important in Indian eating patterns, I haven’t had time to give it a good going through but my mouth is watering. As a note when the original order did not arrive I asked the seller to please replace the order with Used Like New copy if available, I didn’t hear back from them but am grateful that Bellweather Books settled my problem.

Great Book and Stories
I'm not sure I want to fund a fully stocked kitchen with all this stuff but I will definitely try recipes that might share similar ingredients. They look delicious and Maneet's stories are great. I got this book more for the cultural aspect and to learn more about Indian food.

Great Compilation of Chaat Recipes
If you are interested in the Indian street food Chaat, this is the book for you. Many recipes. Personally, I liked the notes before each section though I know a lot of people hate headnotes. The book is organized along railway stations, where many chaats are sold, which I like.Someone said that this contained many complicated recipes and sauces you'd never use again. I have to disagree. If you cook Indian food, you are used to many spices per dish. The dishes are not complicated, just have more than a couple of ingredients, and if you plan to try chaats once, sure you'll end up with sauces you won't use again. But that is not the point of this book. You'll quickly understand why you get a mint/cilantro chutney, a tamarind chutney and red onions at the beginning of most Indian restaurant meals. Recommended for those who are interested in chaats and frankly, after a taste or two, who wouldn't be?

Even if you do not fancy chaat... just pick up this book!
Chaat is an exceptional cook book! Not only are the recipes delectable, it’s also a great read! I look forward to my time at the end of the day when I can finally sit with the book and be transported to different railway stations in India!Next time I am going to India, I am definitely checking out these chaat vendors! In the meantime, let’s cook up a chaat party!
