In the course of the preparation of this book I have had to innovate, create, recreate and sometimes reinvent the traditional dishes that traditional Indian homes cannot do without. But I have also tried to add a new dimension with western style cooking of the more popular variety and which would be the envy of any good cook at home. In short, this collection of microwave recipes takes care of almost all the varieties of cooking that is possible in a microwave, while providing for the traits of the Indian tongue. I can hope that you find this book useful as a guide or reference, but I am sure you will never see the microwave as a heater ever again!
