The Essential Curry Cookbook
Here are 50 authentic Indian curries, each accompanied by a full-colour photograph showing colour, texture and appearance. Try White Chicken Korma, a Muslim court dish blending Moghlai and Nawabi cuisines or Prawns in Sweet & Hot Curry, with its delicately balanced sweet, hot and sour flavours. The Gujarati Mango and Yogurt Curry is a tasty treat for vegetarians or perfect for lunch or as a side dish, while Lamb with Plums is a new recipe that combines the sweetness of fruit with the spicy aromas of cinnamon, coriander and chilli.
A new introduction especially for this edition comprehensively details curry-making techniques, including how to add taste, aroma and colour and there are also 50 recipes to accompany the curry, from rice and lentils to breads, vegetables and chutneys as well as desserts and wine suggestions.
Excellent book, great range of recipes
I own a number of indian cookbooks, and I have 2 that spend more time in my kitchen than on my bookshelf. I think the best thing about this book is that it gives you a really wide range recipes from different regions. It's not really a beginner's book, some of the recipes have quite long spice lists, but the results are outstanding. I highly recommend this book.
