It is NOT as healthy as you think *by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020* I'm Indian and bought this book for my diabetic parents. South Asians have a bad history with heart disease and diabetes. We are diagnosed with both at alarming rates. I really thought this book would offer some healthy versions of classic dishes but its mostly the same classic dishes with little to no alternatives. She just highlights the dishes that are veggie heavy (which I guess is fine but we already knew how to cook these). There were some salads (that look unfilling...) and soups though. The problem with Indian cooking is that it uses A LOT of oil/butter/ghee and is combined with carbs (rice and roti/chapati) and she did not really offer no resolution for this. For example, Chetna recommends sunflower oil. Oil and carbs are going to be the death of the Indian community. I would've appreciated if she recommended a heart healthy oil w/ high heat index such as Avocado oil which is generally more healthier and offered tips on how this oil would work best in Indian cooking. Ugh the sunflower oil is not even expeller pressed. I thought that the rotis/chapatis would be made with a healthier flour such as almond, whole wheat, or something but nope, same old same old. And rice, sigh. She uses white rice (which is crucial to indian cooking BUT white rice has such a high glycemic index, it really should not be in a healthy cookbook). It would have been nice if Chetna could have found a way to spice up brown rice and make it Indian friendly or even quinoa. Very disappointed in this cookbook and there's nothing really healthy about it once you're past the veggie/spice filled curries. I will say that the only thing that offered mildly healthy versions were the desserts. A lot of them still had flour and refined sugar but the majority of them had nice alternatives to sugar such as dates or guava nectar which is better for overall health and taste. Overall I am very disappointed with this cookbook as an Indian person and am considering returning it. I think this would be a great cookbook for somebody who is not familiar with Indian cuisine but keep in mind that just because it says "healthy" does not necessarily mean it is... especially when using sunflower oil, flour, and white rice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dayum. *by H***G on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2020* This is the best Indian cookbook I have ever used, and one of my favorite cookbooks, now, period.(1) The recipes are easy. Sure, you might need to order some ingredients online that you don't use for other cuisine, but the recipes don't require much skill at all. Stress-free.(2) They're pretty quick. There are a lot of cookbooks that offer estimates that are waaaay optimistic, like I chop my vegetables at light speed and need zero time to locate ingredients in my cupboard. Chetna does not offer any such estimates, but they're actually pretty quick for the most part. My first attempt, I made four dishes in about 90 minutes (plus rice), which isn't too shabby particularly considering I was unfamiliar with the recipes. The next day, I made two more dishes in less than an hour, and a good bit of that was passive time at the end, so I was able to clean up the kitchen a bit.(3) The previous two points only matter because the food is delicious! Dangerously so. If someone cooked that coconut chicken curry for me, there is a real chance we would be married within hours. The chickpeas with sea bass was a borderline erotic experience. There were tears of joy. Two other recipes I tried were just ok - the black lentil and kidney bean dal and the cauliflower and potatoes - but still good, and with a little tweaking to my preferences, will be worth repeating. The stuffed okra was more work than I would be willing to put in very often, but quite good. And the tamarind coconut green beans were a real delight. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love Chetna's Food! *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2019* Just got the book. Have tried a few and really, really liked them. My husband does not like HOT food. I make these by using about one fourth of the required amount of hot peppers. Husband liked every one. Makes me feel good. Love my husband and love my Chetna. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/99405715-chetnas-healthy-indian-everyday-family-meals-effortlessly-good-for-you](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/99405715-chetnas-healthy-indian-everyday-family-meals-effortlessly-good-for-you) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
