New Curry Bible: The Ultimate Modern Curry House Recipe Book

by Pat Chapman

Overview

Curry is Britain's favourite food, and in this bible of Indian food Pat Chapman brings the much-loved Curry Menu to life in a unique and inspiring way - he has chosen to arrange the recipes in menu order, so very familiar at the curry restaurant, but new to a cookbook. His method is borne out of a passion for Indian food and the restaurants that serve it - in his extensive research he has selected the finest dishes from over 1,000 of the best Curry houses in the land.

First come thirty starters, then Tandoori and Tikka dishes. Next are the sixteen most popular curries, followed by sixteen further restaurant curries from Achari to Thai. The recipies continue, as at a restaurant, with 'House Specials', vegetable curries, dhal dishes, rice and bread favourites, chutneys and pickles, and finally Indian desserts. With step-by-step photo sequences, an A to Z of spices, nutritional information, a menu glossary and enticing colour photographs of every dish, the author provides a wealth of information, tips and secrets to create the perfect curry at home.
