OK, Holy Bible aside, this one is up there:

This book shows you how to make authentic Indian restaurant currys. Basically, you knock up a mixture of water, onion, ginger and garlic and this forms the base of virtually every curry known to man. You just add the meat plus the spices in the correct ratio.

Genius.

a cracking book, had it for a while now, makes it all a lot more simple than a Madhur Jafrey recipe :thumbsup:

Got that book, very close to the real thing, one tip, use gee and plenty of it, Indian restaurants don't spare on it.

Its a long process though, boil, blend, boil some more, skim the curry sauce and your kitchen will stink for weeks. Its worth it though!!!

Surely we all new that already...

I doubt most people do - cook up a batch of "curry gravy".

Indian Cookery books these days tend would tend to demonstrate the actual local methods, but if you want the "authentic restaurant style", or the classic English style curry that has developed into this country's favourite food - then this book is for you.

(I've also got a copy)

I really hate snobbishness about food, I couldn't give a toss whether the food in Indian restaurants is authentic or not - as long as it is made with good ingrediants and tastes nice.

We should celebrate this type of food. It's authentic British Indian cooking.

Got the book last week and over the weekend had a curry using the recipe. All I can say is WOW. Amazing taste, once the 'curry sauce' is made its really quick to make the actual curry, we also made enough sacue to go in the freezer for dinners going forwards.

Well recommended by the Surrey Jim household
