ISO Indian Cuisine cookbooks

[JustJoel]

I love Indian food. I love the aromas that permeate the whole house. I love the complexities and merging of the varied flavors.

I need a a cookbook. Optimally, it would be a book available on Kindle. Or two books, or three. I want to explore the cuisine, but I need a map! I can already do the basics; chicken tikka masala, sag paneer, even naan (although I nearly burned the house down with that one!).

Madhur Jaffrey is the Queen of Indian cooking. Her recipes are pretty approachable. She has written many books.

In 2011, I bought a book called "50 Great Curries of India," and decided I would make one recipe from the book every week for an entire year. All told, I think ended up making something like 38 of them (there were a few I made more than once), and ended up learning a lot about Indian cooking and the different regions in the process. It's still one of my favorite cookbooks.
