I love her. I bought her book 32 years ago and have graced friends and family to many “India Night” dinners. Because of her I have a spice vault. Thank you Madhur

[iiipurrrsentkitty]

I LOVE her!!! I have had one of her cookbooks for 20 years!!
It has the most food stains in it out of all of my other cookbooks. I have never cooked a bad thing from her book!

[mitrildhi]

Madhur, I learned Indian cooking from your books and I’m extremely grateful. Hope you’d reach more people through this platform.

[theresaekelly]

I love roti, dal, fried kerela’s and many other dishes. Food from India is becoming a fast favorite of mine.

[stephenveerasammy]

This is one of the classes I've been waiting for!

[joyfulbirth]

My mom learned to cook from her cookbook when I was a child and the only Indian restaurant in our area closed. (There are others now. This was the late 70s.) When I moved out of my oarents' house, there were two cookbooks I NEEDED my own copies of - An Invitation to Indian Cooking and The Joy of Cooking. Thank you, Madhur, for making our lives infinitely more delicious. I would love to take this class even though I've been making dal and pooris and gulab jamun for 35 years, just to watch you make these recipes and hear you describe them.

MADHUR!!!!

MasterClass, you've done us proud.

[mikebahrami]

Also, she's 89 (read: EIGHT-NINE) years old! If I could look that good if/when I reach her age, I'll have what she's cooking!

[sandyquispe]

First I have to say you were awesome in Today’s Special! I’ve watched it again and again as it’s one of our favorites. My favorite part is the story about the blue feet 🤣 My husband and I love Indian food and I cook it pretty often. My favorite dish is Palak Paneer with Naan and my favorite spice is cardamom. Can’t wait to learn great things from you! ☺️

[arthapeterson]

I'm not into spices, but I like her attitude and presentation. I'll watch her videos just to see an expert at work - yes, it's fun!

[shareenlata]

I have got your vegetarian cooking book, I have yet to try your recipes. I have come across this by coincidence, so happy to see your cookIng Thankyou.

Lots of Love, Respect and Greetings to You from My City of Pearls, City of Nizams, City of Nawabs, City of Haleem & The City of World's Famous Biryani - HYDERABAD, TELANGANA, India!💐

[spicerack]

My favorites are simple, comfort food.
A bowl of Dal Makhani, or Keema, and
chapati/roti/puri, bhatura/naan...basically any of the breads work for me.
A little basmati rice on the side

[TahtahmesDiary]

She seems fascinating! What an amazing woman 💜

[aryanbhandari]

Congrats ma'am for the prestigious Padma Bhushan award. ❤❤💫💫

[tonietchison]

True. I sure thank you. I love Indian food.

[michaeldavis]

Honestly, any other country claiming to be masters of spices would just be them exaggerating their own cuisine, but India, I cannot dispute. They truly are masters of spices.
