awk problem for commaseperated file

I have a commaseperated file. If data in a field has comma then the field is enclosed with double quotes as shown below

Quote:
CSV file
filed1,field2,field3
ABC,"hello,world",time
ABC,"hello,america",time1
XYZ,"god,bless",time2
INJ,are,youthere

Code:
awk -F, '{print $1,$2}' file

output i am getting:
Quote:
filed1 field2
ABC "hello
ABC "hello
XYZ "god
INJ are
output i want:
Quote:
filed1,field2
ABC,"hello,world"
ABC,"hello,america"
XYZ,"god,bless"
INJ,are

Basically i want to ignore commas with in double quotes.
Appreciate your help.
