Oooh, I hadn't heard of this one! It sounds excellent - I'll have to see if I can track down a copy. Even as someone who's lived in India nearly all her life, that world is fast disappearing.
If you like vegetarian food at all, I can't recommend Jaffrey's Vegetarian India and World Vegetarian enough - they're so, so good, and Vegetarian India especially is filled with the kind of wonderful home cooking most people outside the country aren't even aware of. It makes me miss having my own kitchen!
The nice - and frustrating - thing about Indian cooking is that there's so much variation just in terms of community/culture/life experiences that even people in the same family (like my grandma, mom, aunt, and me) can have wildly different ways of making the exact same dish, so yours may not taste like how you remember, but if it's a Jaffrey recipe, there's a pretty good chance it will be delicious anyway.
