This unique guide to preparing Indian food using classic slow-cooker techniques features more than 50 recipes, beautifully illustrated with full-color photography throughout. These great recipes take advantage of the slow cooker's ability to keep food moist through its long cooking cycle, letting readers create dishes with far less oil and saturated fat than in traditional recipes. Anupy Singla shows the busy, harried family that cooking healthy is simple and that cooking Indian is just a matter of understanding a few key spices. Her "Indian Spices 101" chapter introduces readers to the mainstay spices of an Indian kitchen, as well as how to store, prepare, and combine them in different ways. Among her 50 recipes are all the classics — specialties like dal, palak paneer, and gobi aloo — and also dishes like butter chicken, keema, and much more. The result is a terrific introduction to making healthful, flavorful Indian food using the simplicity and convenience of the slow cooker.

The Indian Slow Cooker: 50 Healthy, Easy, Authentic Recipes
This is a very vegetarian and vegan-friendly cookbook, ideal for people who work and those who enjoy Indian cuisine but want lower-fat versions of their favorite dishes. The recipes use much less oil than most others I've made from other cookbooks without any sacrifice in flavor.
Here are the dishes I've made - all but one were hugely successful and my spice-loving kiddo adored them.
Chickpea curry with fresh dill leaves (rasa walls kabuli chana): This dish was a revelation to me. I had never associated dill with Indian cuisine, but it complements the beans (I used half white chickpeas and half chana dal) very well. I loved this dish the first, second, and even third times -- but 14 cups is a big yield, and we eventually tired of the leftovers. Next time, I'll wait for guests or halve the recipe.
Chickpea flour curry with vegetables (punjabi khardi): Wow! This besan and yogurt based sauce is amazing, and soy yogurt worked well as a replacement for the dairy. I also liked the flexibility to use whatever veggies were on hand; I used some unidentified squash from our farm share, cauliflower, and onion. Again, this recipe makes a lot. I froze some of the leftovers for a future meal. The only note for this one is that it's more labor-intensive than the other recipes I tried and cooks for a shorter period (5 hrs) so it's a good choice for the weekend.
Spicy punjabi eggplant with potatoes (aloo baingan): I really liked this tangy, spicy dish. Unfortunately, my slowcooker didn't turn on properly, so I had to cook it for a shorter time on a higher heat. As a result, it didn't cook evenly. My fault!
Black chickpea curry: This dish could not be easier. Simply process some onions, tomatoes, chilis, and the like in a food processor, dump them in the slow cooker with uncooked/unsoaked black channa, spices, and water, and let it cook all day long. Finish with fresh cilantro and lemon juice and serve over rice, and you've got a dish that will make a six-year-old make contented animal noises as she slurps it up. I can't remember ever being begged to have the same dish two nights in a row until this dish -- high praise indeed.
