Book Description

16 Sep 2010

In this delicious collection of recipes, Madhur Jaffrey shows us that Indian food need not be complicated or involve hours in the kitchen. Take a few well chosen spices and readily available ingredients, and in a few easy steps you can make a delicious prawn curry from Goa; succulent chicken baked in an almond and onion sauce; hearty Sri Lankan beef with coconut milk; a creamy potato and pea curry; tasty swiss chard stir fried with ginger and garlic; and a spicy dip with beans (canned of course), cumin, chillies and lime. With over 175 clear, accessible and simple recipes, this mouthwatering cookbook is as beautifully written as her bestselling Ultimate Curry Bible, and is fully illustrated throughout with gorgeous colour photography.

Whether you are cooking curry for the first time or have plenty of culinary experience and are looking for quick and easy recipe ideas, Madhur Jaffrey brings you all the tastes of India with the minimum of work.

Product Description

Review

"A handsome book, clearly laid out and easy to follow. Classic Jaffrey, and a steal at the price" (Guy Dimond Time Out )

"A true classic - fresh, intelligent and simply scrumptious. Even in an unusually strong year for cookbooks, Jaffrey's quality shines through." (Bee Wilson Sunday Times )

"Transforms Indian food into something relatively speedy to prepare at home. This would be a good one for the culinary aware student." (Carolyn Hart Telegraph Magazine )

"If you have the local curry house menu by your phone, consider replacing it with a copy of this book. Madhur is totally trustworthy and these recipes use readily available ingredients to whip up delicious curries in less time than it takes to deliver." (Sally Hughes BBC Good Food )

"As readable and useable as it is beautiful." (Delicious Magazine )

5.0 out of 5 stars lighter, fresher, vibrant Indian cooking 8 Oct 2010
Format:Hardcover
I agree with the previous reviewer. This is not a re-working of Indian recipes, either of Madhur Jafrey's previous books or of the well-known hackneyed staples of restaurants or other Indian cookbooks.

Everything is ligher, fresher and if these words can be applied to food then the book exudes a joy and a vibrancy which is apparent as soon as one turns over the pages. The recipes are Indian but many are from the kitchen of the author's family and friends and are simple, easy to make, and do not require many spices or ingredients.

These are recipes you could use to make a whole Indian-inspired meal or just pick one as an accompaniment to a roast, a steak, a casserole. There are some delightful Anglo-Indian recipes such as Cheese Toast,Chicken Mulligatawny Soup, Sausage Curry of Beef/Lamb Jhal Faraizi (not the restaurant version) but a spicy hash of roast beef and potatoes.

Some standouts are the Salmon in a Tomato-cream Sauce, the variety of regional fish curries, the array of kebabs and lentil dishes, the emphasis on grilling and stir-frying, the perfect-for-a-picnic Chicken with Vindaloo Spices, the Sri Lankan Beef Smore, an interesting take on a pot-roast and the Karhai Broccoli.

This is an Indian cookbook which reflects our desire for tasty, easy-to-prepare food that won't pile on the pounds. Totally enticing it will give you a lifetime of ideas and favourite recipes. If you buy only one book on Indian food this is the one I recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful new recipes 28 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover
This is a really lovely useful cookbook, not in any way a re-working of her old ideas and recipes. I thought about whether it was worth buying because maybe it couldn't add much more to all she's published before but this book is all new. Everything's so much easier and more relaxed than her recipes sometimes used to be, just uncomplicated and quicker and fresher. It's a really mellow cookbook with lots of wonderful, mostly everyday, recipes together with interesting background conversations and pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully simple, simply beautiful... 2 Nov 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Confession! I picked up this book in my local bookstore because it looked gorgeous! I already have three Madhur Jaffrey cookbooks and did not think that I needed another but the photo of Salmon in a Bengali Mustard Sauce convinced me otherwise. Cooking this later completely justified my purchase!
The title of the book says it all. Madhur Jaffrey is aiming to create Indian dishes in as simple a way as possible, using a smaller palette of spices. There are a few moments when this approach goes too far. Most people will not need to know how to microwave a poppadom although it is helpful to know that Madhur's favourite ones are those made of urad dal and flavoured with peppercorns.
However, the simple approach means that none of the recipes are intimidating and are perfect for after work suppers. Chicken Karhai with Mint is great, so fragrant and full of flavour. Make enough for leftovers which are equally good! Goan Prawn Curry took me less than fifteen minutes, including preparation and was delicious.
I also like the idea of Anglo-Indian sausage curry. Madhur makes her own sausage patties for this but it could easily be adapted to use some quality pork sausage with some extra spices.
The book is extremely comprehensive, covering everything from mains to relishes and accompaniments. The Fresh Green Chutney is completely addictive!
Beautiful and simple - perfect!

2.0 out of 5 stars For those who only own curry powder
This is not for me.

It's light on spicing: the principle behind the book is to streamline the spice preparation work of the cook (not a bad thing). Read more

First of all the photos on the Amazon page create the opinion that there is a photo for every recipe in the book. This is certainly not the case. Read more
