Visiting Delhi and not going to Moti Mahal is like going to Agra and not visiting the Taj Mahal' "Maulana Abul Kalam Azad to the Shah of Iran who was on an official visit to India. From the famed kitchens of the legendary Moti Mahal restaurant comes The Moti Mahal Cookbook: On the Butter Chicken Trail, replete with the original recipes of their signature dishes. Kundan Lal Gujral, the founder of Moti Mahal, not only created the tandoori chicken, he invented the makhani gravy –the mother of North Indian gravies'to transform the succulent tandoori chicken into the delectable butter chicken, a star staple of the Moti Mahal repertoire. Chicken tikka masala followed and Indian cuisine was on the world map. These recipes along with a plethora of popular new dishes recently introduced in the restaurant as well as a wide range of vegetarian dishes, have been selected by Monish Gujral, Kundan Lal's grandson. With a special focus on kabab recipes, be they of chicken, mutton, seafood, cottage cheese or vegetables, this book is a must-buy for those who cannot resist recreating the Moti Mahal magic at home. Recipes include: Murgh makhani (Butter chicken for the strong hearted) Kesari dum murg (Slow-cooked saffron chicken) Pasanda kabab (Lamb escalope) Chatpatté pudina chaamp (Tangy lamb chops) Malai paneer tikka masala (Cottage cheese kabab in a rich tomato gravy) Khatta meetha paneer shahi tikka (Sweet and sour cottage cheese kabab) Pindi chana (Rawalpindi chickpeas) Dhania pomfret tandoori (Coriander-flavoured tandoori pomfret) Garlic prawns Tandoori trout Tandoori bharwan khumb (Stuffed tandoori mushrooms) Khatta meetha baingan (Sweet and sour aubergine) Palak makai malai (Spinach and corn in a creamy gravy) Kathal Punjabi pulao (Jackfruit pulao) Badaam halwa (Sweet almond dessert).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very authentic
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2013

I grew up in Delhi, India and used to go to the Moti Mahal restaurants a lot. I tried many of the recipes from the book and they came out tasting exactly as I remembered. If you don't have a tandoor, a charcoal grill will work just fine. An oven may work, but only as a last resort. Some recipes I did not remember eating at the restaurant, but as soon as I took a bite it brought back fond memories. Be sure to grind your own spices in a coffee grinder (use a separate one just for spices). All the spices will be available at Indian/Pakistani stores.

The quality of the printing is not very good and the pictures are black and white. As a coffee table book, I would not rate it very high. As a recipe book, it is really awesome!!!

This is not a glossy, high production value cookbook. But it is well worth having for its easy recipes which are, nevertheless, delicious. So glad I found it!

I lived across the street from Moti Mahals in New Delhi India. I miss that place so much. I loved the ice cream vendors and the mint chutney from Moti Mahals. Oh, what I would pay to have Moti's deliver some chicken Tikka, Buttered Naan, and Dahl Mak-ni...

Namaste, My Indian Friends.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS NOT A HARDCOVER
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2011
Verified Purchase
The book is perfectly fine, but it is a trade paperback with "French flaps," NOT a hardcover. Even though it has a hardcover price! If you are ordering for a recipe (and you don't mind trade paperback cookbooks), it is slim but will probably be okay. But if (like me) you are ordering as a gift, don't expect a nice hardcover cookbook - it is very slim and a small trim size.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2017
Don't waste your money on this book! I have been eating at Moti Mahal restaurants in Delhi since 1962 starting with one in Daryaganj and met Kundan Lal a number of times. He was a consummate restaurateur. At this time the Moti Mahal in Greater Kailash is our favorite and every time I visit Delhi now I make it a point to eat there at least once. My wife and I love to cook and while we have our favorite recipes we like to try out new ones. Just reading the recipes in this book showed us that the author has held back from providing authentic ones. I completely get it if the recipes are secret and they can't be shared. In that case don't write a book and scam people out of their money. We have books from other authors and their recipes are authentic. If you are worried that people will stop visiting the restaurants because they will cook the dishes at home please understand that people go to restaurants for a complete experience. If you are worried that other restaurants will steal your recipes please understand that every restaurant has it's own theme and specialties.

Mi aspettavo un libro più leggibile, invece non ci sono foto dei piatti ed è impostato come i libri di ricette economici. Pensavo meglio. Le ricette rispecchiano i sapori indiani che cercavo, ma mi sarebbe piaciuto avere qualche immagine del risultato. Spedizione veloce.
