Round off the meal with a sweet Chana Dal Kheer (Madgane) or Moong Dal Fudge (Moogori). All recipes given in the Book serve four people. All the recipes are traditional recipes for contemporary lifestyles, written with the precision and clarity that has made Chef Kapoor the most famous spokesman for Indian food today.
