Product Description
Book Description
The recipes behind the Indian restaurant curry are an extremely closely guarded secret. In the pages of The Curry Secret Indian restaurateur Kris Dhillon breaks with tradition and reveals all so that anyone can recreate those unique and authentic flavours in their own kitchen.
Product Description
There is truly no other curry book like this one. The recipes are not the traditional cuisine practised by Indians at home but the distinctive and well-loved variety served in Indian restaurants worldwide. Since its first publication nearly twenty years ago The Curry Secret has been a bestseller. It has grown, by word of mouth and reader recommendation, into a cult classic – it has even spawned internet forums where readers rave about the sauce. Following requests from those readers, Kris Dhillon has now updated the book to include a wider choice of dishes and brand new recipes for even more mouthwatering curries as well as all the established favourites. From Chicken Tikka Masala to Onion Bhajee, Aloo Gobi to Lamb Biryani, everyone’s favourite is here. Praise from readers: ‘Truly an excellent book and one that any Indian restaurant fan who enjoys cooking should have’ ‘The Holy Grail of curry cook books’ ‘This book is so good it’s unbelievable’

Having read some of the other reviews I ordered this book. On the day of delivery I trotted off and bought (what my husband thought) was every spice imaginable. I then commenced with the basic curry sauce. Having got to the boiled onions, garlic and ginger stage it was a weird green colour. Hearing the comment of "Yeauhhhhh what's that"? and "I'm not eating that" from everyone who walked through the kitchen I had my doubts but I carried on. By Friday night the sauce was complete and in the fridge awaiting our home cooked Indian on Saturday Night. I prepared the chicken as stated in the book and made a Chicken Korma for the kids and a Chicken Dhansak for me and hubby. WOW the kids wolfed theirs down and we really really enjoyed our Dhansak. Both currys were worthy of any restaurant or takeaway. Husband has already put in his order for next week. I can't belive how easy each curry was to put together once you have the basic sauce. This book is a must for anyone who has tried and failed in the past to make a good curry at home and if this is the first curry book you buy, you have bought the best and won't need another one.

I had always wondered how my local Indian takeaway could conjure up such delectable dishes in so short a time. Now I know. This book is a little gem. The recipes are marvellous, the instructions clear and concise and, without doubt, the results are Indian restaurant standard. Absolutely no doubt about that. A brilliant, priceless book at a very reasonable price. I actually find the fact that there are no photographs in the book to be another plus, sometimes such photos can be a hinderance and a distraction to the job at hand and the recipes are much more accessible and easy to follow as a result. Do yourself a 'flavour' and buy this book!

This book is "The one"! Invest the time to make the base sauce (tip: carefully follow the instuctions about keeping the saucepan lid on! - alternatively leave the kitchen door open as the smell is aweful!) and then use it to make any of the curries you would find in a typical British curry house - with authentic taste, texture and appearance. I have bought many copies of this book for my friends and family and they in turn have bought copies for theirs. You will impress everyone with your curry cooking skills and become a legend in your own lifetime - seriously! This book is easy to follow and the results are awesome... it is the best bargain on the bookshelf - time for me to buy another copy as my current one is stained yellow and brown and has mangled pages from so much use.

Pretty good, but not "The Grail" as some here seem to think
First off, make sure your extractor fan is powered solely by its own nuclear power station as making the base sauce is an incredibly pungent affair. Read more
