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’

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY THE BEST!, 16 Oct 2004
By Y Kane (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Curry Secret : Indian Restaurant Cookery at Home (Paperback)
I bought this in a bookshop - then I bought 2 copies on Amazon - now I am about to buy more copies to send to friends in Spain and the USA - people have tried our curries and they all want a copy! I find that the curries are exactly the same as a takeaway curry except that I tend to use less oil and salt - this helps to reduce indigestion which sometimes results from eating a takeaway. We are big foodies and love food and cooking - I spent years trying to make curries - I have volumes of cooking books and I always ended up feeling cross and frustrated at my hard work - I could cook everything but a curry! I am now able to cook the most wonderful curries and its all thanks to this funny little book! It really is foolproof and we love it - as do all our friends! My humble advice - BUY IT NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best home cooked curries you'll ever make!, 1 Dec 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Curry Secret : Indian Restaurant Cookery at Home (Paperback)
For anyone interested in cooking curry at home this book is a must. The curries you cook will be the tastiest, and quickest to prepare you have ever tried. The secret is in the preparation of a basic sauce, which is prepared in bulk and frozen and the same with your chosen meat. To cook the final curry it is simply a matter of assembling the dishes from the basic sauce , meat dishes and a few spices. Thus a curry is prepared in usually 15-20 minutes. What suprised me was the vastly superior "Curry House" taste, which is perhaps partly due to the speed with which dishes are prepared (rather than hours spent cooking dishes, at the end of which you can taste nothing!). There is a limited number of dishes in the book, but every one a winner, with the emphasis on dishes you will recognise from the restaurant menu (Bhuna, Korma, Madras etc), but at the price this book is a bargain, undoubtedly the best value for money cookery book I have ever bought or used.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great start to restaurant style curry making, 6 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Curry Secret : Indian Restaurant Cookery at Home (Paperback)
This book is not about authentic Indian cuisine it is about recreating the restaurant taste that we all love so much. All of the favourites are here and they are really simple to make if you follow the instructions precisely and most importantly, prepare all of your sauces/marinades etc. as described in the book. Do not try and cut corners by substituting/omitting ingrediants, as don't forget this book is about TASTE.

... this has to be the bargain recipe book of the century for the curryoholic! I bought 5 copies for friends who were that impressed with the outcome. It knocks spots off other books costing 5 times as much!
