Book Description

11 Oct 2012

Madhur Jaffrey, television's most-loved Indian cook, returned to our screens for a major new series for the Good Food Channel in October 2012.

Travelling across Britain, visiting local Indian and South Asian communities, Madhur revealed how it's possible to sample virtually the whole of Indian cuisine without ever leaving the British Isles.

In the official tie-in book to the series, Madhur Jaffrey showcases her favourite curry recipes with influences from all over the subcontinent: Punjabi, Goan, Parsi and Bengali amongst others. Carefully selected and adapted by Madhur, the recipes conjure up the colour and vitality of this vibrant culture, but keep to her mantra that Indian food doesn't need to be complicated. Always innovative and contemporary, Madhur will even give some of these traditional Indian recipes a twist - pairing Aloo Gobi with a very British roast lamb, for example.

Whether it's the spicy, lentil-based specialities of Rajesthan, kebabs and kormas from Delhi, or coconut-infused curries from Kerala, we accompany Madhur Jaffrey on her very personal tour of our modern-day Curry Nation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary Indian food from around Britain... 14 Oct 2012
Format:Hardcover
A new job meant that I was allowed to treat myself to a new cookery book. I made a great choice!
Madhur Jaffrey has been the face of Indian food for thirty years. Her latest book is different in that she mainly presents recipes from home cooks and restaurant chefs from around Britain. This is a great idea.
Suniya Quoreshi's Chili Mutton Chops (Chili champ)are spicy and moreish. Remeber to marinate them the night before and they are perfect to pop straight in the oven after work. Saleem Zahid gives us Lamb with Beetroot (Chukander Gosht)which is gorgeously red and tasty.
Vegetarians are not left out. I am inspired by Bimal Parmar's Kale cooked in an East African style, a completely new idea for me. Potatoes with Fresh Fenugreek (Butteta ne Methi)from the Gujarati Rasoi stall at Broadway Market is delicious.
There are useful chapters on spice mixes, dals, breads and relishes. I like the photos of vibrant Indian textiles marking each new chapter.
My cookery challenge for this week is to make an entire meal from the book. I am thinking of Onion Bhajias and Tamarind Chutney to start followed by Madhur Jaffrey's own recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala with a Black Dal and some home made Chapatis. Whilst I have always looked snobbishly down on Chicken Tikka Masala as something only my daughter would eat, the photo looks so mouthwatering that I am completely won over.
This is a book which is definitely going to provide many happy days in the kitchen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mad(hur) about curry. 24 Nov 2012
By Sue Kichenside TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
First let's get the sticky question of misrepresentation out of the way. There's no doubt that the cover of this book is misleading as the implication is clearly that these are Madhur Jaffrey's own recipes, hence the 4* rating. But really, does it matter that most of them are not? Recipes are always being plagiarised, adapted and improved on by food writers and presumably Ms Jaffrey has tried all the dishes in Curry Nation herself (one certainly hopes so, anyway). In any event, it is a very fine cookbook and the quality of photography is outstanding. It must be challenging, to say the least, to make curries look clearly differentiated in every single shot but photographer Jean Cazals, along with her food and props stylists, have succeeded magnificently here. Every dish looks mouth-watering and my copy is already studded with a great many post-it bookmarks!

There are sections on appetisers, snacks and soups, a large section on lamb, pork and beef, a brilliant section on chicken featuring Madhur's own take on the ubiquitous Chicken Tikka Masala (or CTM as she tells us it's often called), fish, veg, dals, rice, bread, chutneys and relishes, drinks, sweets and spice mixes. Ms Jaffrey introduces each dish with an interesting explanation of its provenance as well as an informative `take' on the method. Very helpfully, she always tells us how best to substitute a hard-to-find ingredient which is very useful if you don't have any specialist shops nearby. There are some stand-out potato dishes (roasted masala potatoes and Nepalese potato salad) and a chicken biryani recipe that I can't wait to try. Ms Jaffrey says: "...biryanis are served on special occasions....It does require talent - a special hand, as we say - to put a great one together". It's debatable about the talent bit, but with Madhur's exemplary and clear instructions, I'm certainly going to have a try!

This is Madhur Jaffrey's dedication: "This book is dedicated to Britain, the Curry Nation that welcomed me all those many years ago". How can you resist? Hurry, nation!

4.0 out of 5 stars Can lead to curry addiction 4 Feb 2013
Format:Hardcover
Ask any English person who Madhur Jaffrey is and there is a good chance they will reply "that curry woman off the telly" for it is, indeed, Madhur Jaffrey who helped popularise the art of Indian curry making to generations of English people though books and the television for over 30 years!

Now Jaffrey has written a new book to accompany a new television series that takes a look at the humble curry, why Britons have fell in love with it, and its whole diverse range. Of course the doing part is the most important bit and here there is 100 recipes to keep you busy in the kitchen cooking up a spicy treat or two.

After a basic, informative introduction it is straight on to the recipes. An explanation of the various spice mixes, seasonings and techniques is left to the end of the book for some reason. The recipes themselves are split into appetisers, snacks and soups; lamb, pork & beef; eggs & chicken; fish & seafood; vegetables; dale; rice, breads & pancakes; salads, pickles, chutneys & relishes and finally drinks & sweets. There is something for all (Indian-orientated) tastebuds and a fairly good selection, bearing in mind the book's size. A great deal of wonderful photographs - but sadly not for every dish - draw you in and perhaps will get you trying things that you hadn't considered before. The very first recipe, spicy chickpeas, potatoes and beans in a tamarind sauce (chana aloo chaat) is a great example of this picture power. Each recipe features a brief overview and explanation about the dish, the required ingredients are clearly listed and the instructions are brief, curt but sufficient. As the recipes are taken from various homes and restaurants around the country, a credit is also given. A little more information about the source would have been nice as background information. Even a paragraph or two.

Our usual complaint about the lack of an estimated preparation and cooking time is sadly valid here. There is not a lot more to add. This is a great general introduction book to the art of curry cookery. It is not a specialist book per se and, of course, can only give a superficial overview to the general art of Indian cookery, as experienced by English tastebuds. Purists may no doubt find some fault but they are not the target audience.

If you like Indian food or are willing to try it and want a great easy-to-follow, balanced book this may be for you. It can, and will, lead on to greater things and maybe a little curry addiction along the way.
