Great Addition to Any Kitchen - Rated
When you receive the book it does not look very exciting. There are no pictures and it's printed on old yellowing paper. Don't let this put you off though; the recipes are really great- yummy, authentic and informative.

The great thing about this book is that it's unpretentious and understated but hides fantastic recipes. The usual suspects are there (pilau rice, chicken tikka masala etc) but there are many more unusual recipes that you will not find in most Indian cookery books on the market especially in the starters and vegetarian chapters.

In the search for good Indian recipes I have bought 3 other books and even though the pictures are great, the price is much higher and the qualities of recipes don't compare to this humble book.

My only recommendation would be to include a contents page so you can find what you need quickly and to include some pictures especially of unusual ingredients.

If you want to cook great Indian food, buy this book.

Curry Love - Rated
For somebody like me who has only recently started eating curries, this has most definitely changed my eating habits, the food is delicious & well worth the time & effort.

The best cookery book i've ever used - Rated
I am a male, with limited kitchen skills, but with the help of this book i have created curries as good, no, even better, than any curry i have bought from my local curry houses. It is fantastically easy to follow, clear instructions, and the results have been nothing short of brilliant. Well recommended, each member of my family will be receiving a copy in their christmas stockings.

Incredible - Rated
This book actually contains real and authentic recipes - not the water-down versions you find in many curry houses these days. With simple, but effective recipes, i have consistently been able to produce spectacular meals.
A must have - they should publish a glossy version with pictures though!

The best indian recipe book I have ever seen. - Rated
An old fashioned cookbook this one. No glossy photos, very few pictures, but this is the best indian recipe book I have ever seen.

The focus is on indian home cooking - *real* cooking. Not takeaway food, but the sort of thing you can make every day.

The recipes are well laid out, with clear instructions, and there are dozens of them.

Recipes include snacks, starters, breads, side dishes, meat, poultry & vegetarian dishes, sweet deserts and drinks (13 chapters in all). All of them seem pretty sensible.

I made my (indian) girlfriend potato sak last night, following a recipe in this book, and she told me it tasted just like her mums. What hgher reccomendation can there be?
