Product Description

Review

'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

'Alongside curry recipes (all the classics) are bread and rice dishes to make the complete Indian meal.' The Independent

'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!

'When it comes to Indian cookbooks, there is apparently only one read in town.' --The Times Magazine

The Observer, December 3, 2006

...has delectable, completely authentic recipes, comes with
a...usefully analytic DVD and is a fund of...knowledge

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, 21 Sep 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: 50 Great Curries of India (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Curry Galore, 7 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: 50 Great Curries of India (Paperback)

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".
