Suneeta’s Indian Cookbooks

Ciao Suneeta,
Greetings from Tuscany – I'm a friend of Diane Lestina's and she gave me your cookbook, signed by you yet! Just wanted you to know that I made the Coriander Chicken and the Basmati Rice and Spiced Cauliflower last Sunday and my very picky Tuscan boyfriend loved it! He called the rice Indian Risotto. Tough getting the spices up here in the mountains where I live but I found a shop in the Piazza Santa Maria Novella in Florence where I can get just about everything.
Oh, it was great. I opened the windows and let those exotic fragrances drift down the street. The coriander was intoxicating! I'm looking forward to trying more of your recipes soon.
One question – can I use anything other than corn starch to stabilize the yogurt? I think they call cornstarch something different over here.
Ciao and thanks for the pleasure of your book.
– Martha Cavanagh
