'The best ever Indian cookery book - and the bestselling one in the world...Camellia Panjabi's 50 Great Curries of India has delectable, completely authentic recipes.' Paul Levy, The Observer
'The introduction guides you through the philosophy and history of Indian cooking, the roles of spices and ingredients, and even helps you to decide which curry to cook. The recipes are simply written and the photography is tantalising.' Jamie Magazine

'By a leading expert on Indian cuisine, it's good to see how she teaches you to add taste, aroma and colour to your dishes. Lots of tips and valuable short cuts.' Yes Chef!

I don't understand the reviewer who claimed this is a 'vanity book'. It explains which spices have to be cooked for what time to maximise their efficiency. The recipes work (I have yet to make a duff one) and the food comes out better than I can buy at my local Indian restaurant. This book has rekindled by love of Indian food.

This book is an absolute must for anyone who likes to put a bit into the kitchen and get a lot out. The food is so much nicer than the usual "stuff" served at Indian restaurants. If you like curries buy the book and educate yourself starting with the absolutely superb "Kebab Curry".

Authentic Indian Cuisine step by step
I love the way the author has given some background on each dish, explaining the influences of the different regions. Indian food isn't meant to be quick and easy. Read more

The best curry recipe book? Probably.
Update comment on the too much liquid issue:
Some reviewers have commented on the fact that some of the recipes call for odd amounts of water/stock to be added. Read more
