Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Madhur Jaffrey presumably doesn't mean to give offence with the title of Foolproof Indian Cookery, but she and her publishers must reckon that there are a lot of people who enjoy eating Indian food but haven't the first idea how to prepare it. Fair enough. This addition to the BBC's Foolproof series sets out to provide exactly that guidance and does so with Jaffrey's customary expertise, perfect taste and lack of condescension, with copious clear illustrations of both the cooking processes and the finished results. The recipes cover soups, starters, meat, fish, poultry and eggs, and accompaniments (no desserts, calculating, perhaps, that the very sweet Indian varieties are not to everyone's taste), and include pretty much everything one would expect to find, including the infamous Chicken Tikka Masala. In a concluding helpful gesture, sample menus pull the dishes together into different categories of balanced, well-structured meal. The Elegant Dinner Party, for example, comprises Moghlai Lamb with Sultanas, Green Lentils with Lemon Slices, Plain Basmati Rice, Moghlai Spinach with Browned Shallots and Tomato and Onion Cachumbar (a salad). The Family Meal, by contrast, consists of the simple but extremely satisfying combination of Rogan Josh, Potatoes with Cumin, accompanied by Flaky Flatbreads with Cumin Seeds. Delicious food, presented in a straightforward, uncomplicated manner. --Robin Davidson

5.0 out of 5 stars REALLY IS FOOLPROOF!, 21 Jun 2002
By Lisa Henshaw "Legally_Lillywhite" (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Although I consider myself quite a good cook, my curries always seemed to taste the same when I used the pre-prepared pastes and sauces. I did buy another Indian cookery book, but a lot of the ingredients were unobtainable in my northern town and the recipes were, frankly, quite fiddly. Madhur has saved me. I tried two dishes last weekend and both turned out perfectly and tasted absolutely delicious. The ingredients are easily obtainable and the recipes clear and concise; she takes you through them step by step. Even my husband could cook from this book!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent!, 31 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Approaching this book, I was a total no-hoper in the Kitchen. After reading it I went straight out, bought the ingredients and started! The recipes are claerly set out and easy to follow. The end results were amazing. My wife swore that I was attempting to pass off a takeaway as my own work.

When's the next one coming out?

5.0 out of 5 stars all spiced up, 30 Aug 2001
By A Customer
If you greatly enjoy indien food, as I do, but are always warry to use spices read on. This book will allowed you to create fantastic, flavoursome and colourful dishes as well as finding out the correct use of spices... After using it a few time you will never need another take away.
