The Curry Secret - Kris Dhillon
|
I bought this wonderful book some time ago as a friend recommended it.
It is a fabulous gem of a book and if you follow the recipes to the letter you will never be disappointed. I found the dishes to be very close to that of Indian restaurants. One tip I would pass on is to buy the garum masala mix from a proper indian food shop as the type sold in Tesco and the like are definitely not the same and ruin the taste of the curry.
I have since told all of my family and they have all bought the book and all think it a revelation.
Can't wait for 'The New Curry Secret' book to come out in Feb 2009!

Good starting point ...

A unique cook book and a good starting point in reproducing that Indian take-away flavour. If you love the 'British Indian Restaurant' (BIR) style (as opposed to authentic), better recipes for both the curry base and individual 'BIR' style curries are available for free from the Curry Recipes Online forum at cr0.co.uk

The Curry Secret: How to Cook Real Indian Restaurant Meals at Home
This book is awful, unless you want to cook using a microwave and add food colourings. Not what I was hoping for.

buy this and make a LARGE batch of the basic curry sauce in one go - it stinks!!! but it turns into delicious meals, after stage 2 ;-)
Fabulous!!

Once you start using this book you'll probably never cook a curry any other way. In fact, since I discovered the Curry Secret I haven't set foot in an Indian restaurant.. and I live in Bradford!
Whilst this book probably isn't for the purists of curry cuisine it does bring the taste of the takeaway in to the kitchen with very little effort.
Once you've made up a batch of the base sauce it takes no time to rustle up any number of classic Anglo/Indian currys. The chicken bhuna masala is outrageously tasty. It's probably not good for my waist, but the missus isn't complaining when I serve up food of this quality.
