 good book September 15, 2008
I picked this up from a friend and went out to buy the essential ingredients for the basic curries - cumin, fennel, mustard seeds, tamarind, cardomom, cinammon etc...and low and behold i have been able to create some lovely authentic curries - just like you get the curry house!!!
what amazed me most was how simple it was and also how cheap it is to eat indian food - once you have a collection of the basic ingredients all you need is bit of meat, veg, stock or coconut milk - obviously there are some recepies that require a few more things buying from the shop but often you can omit the odd ingredient and still get a great tasting dish.
There is a great recipie for a pakistani basic curry sauce which is so chepa and easy to make - i just make a load of it at once, keep the rest for later - which becomes even more flavour full its great without adding any meat or veg to it, you can just dip bits of bread it as a snack.
I have also enjoyed trying the chinese style curries you get from the take away - using evaporated milk instead of stock or coconut milk, this came out just like the take aways do it too! Yummy!
It also has little briefings into the dishes and its history - for example a Vindaloo is originally not hot at all - but is actually a dish or portugese origin created in Goa, from wine and garlic.
only downsides are there a few intimidating recipies that have hard to get ingredients and there are not many pictures in to give you a guide - but it is a great guide to the curries of the world and allthe extras that go with it - the kebabs are well worth trying too.
deffo receommend this book for anyone wanting to try to and cook some good traditional and adventurous curries.

My brother got me this for xmas after raving about it for ages and yesterday I cooked the Green Coriander Chicken and a red lentil dish with cayenne and garlic - came out delicious!Im thinking of cooking the Durban Roast Curried Chicken with garlic potatoes and salad tonight.
Have only given it 4 stars because I have only cooked once with it but it's a lovely book and the histories of the recipes are fascinating. I find easy to use and Im becoming a bit obsessed with spices and curries!

This is the BEST curry book I have ever used. The recipes work, and you would be pleased to be served up any one of the dishes I have tried in a restaurant. One little note - there is a delicious lamb & orange curry, but whereas Madhur Jaffrey suggests minced lamb, we much preferred it with diced. Bon appetit.
Foolproof. July 26, 2007

To those who experienced failure with the recipes here - with all due respect, they're foolproof, as long as you have the requesite ingredients.
They're even fairly flexible. Highly recommended, and you get an interesting history lesson to boot.

I am not one for a book without many photos and this hasn't got many but it is so fantastic. It is like ready a really great book with great recipes but not too much writing where you would get bored. After buying Madhur Jaffrey Indian Cooking book (which has loads and loads of pictures and is absolutely fantastic) but this book is absolutely brilliant. Buy buy buy
