  Indian cuisine is appreciated the world over but many of the traditional dishes are full of saturated fat. This vast and varied selection of reduced-fat Indian recipes is aimed at vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, especially those who love the spicy delights of Indian cuisine, but who like to keep their body healthy too. Special effort has been made to avoid the use of unhealthy ingredients such as ghee, cream and butter by using them sparingly or by substituting them with unsaturated vegetable oil. But there is no compromise on flavour. The emphasis is mainly on north Indian cuisine. Dishes range from starters, fish, meat, chicken and vegetable main courses, to accompaniments such as vegetable side dishes, yoghurt-based dishes, rice and breads. There is also a collection of desserts for those with a sweet tooth.
