Publisher Description
Whenever I hear the word curry, I’m filled with a longing for spicy hot food with the fragrance of cumin, cloves and cinnamon. I see deep red colours from lots of Kashmiri chillis, tinged with a suggestion of yellow from turmeric. I think of the tandoor oven, and slightly scorched naan shining with ghee and garlic.When Indians talk of their food, they talk about their life. To understand this country, you need to understand curry.
What makes a good curry? Sensual spicy aromas or thick, creamy sauces? Rich, dark dals or crispy fried street snacks? Rick journeys through India to find the answer, searching this colourful, chaotic nation in search of the truths behind our love affair with its food.
Chefs, home cooks and street vendors hold the key to unlocking the secrets of these complex and diverse flavours – and Rick's travels take him to the heart of both their long-held traditions and most modern techniques. He uncovers recipes for fragrant kormas, delicate spiced fish and slow-cooked biryanis, all the while gathering ideas and inspiration for his own take on that elusive dish – the perfect curry.

Perfect
Very good and gives exactly what was on TV
Authentically Indian
Having traveled in India, coming back to the UK made me realise that the flavours and textures of the food I fell in love with had been left behind; that is, until I started working my way through Rick Stein's India cookbook. Every recipe I've tried transports me back to my travels around the Indian sub-continent, without exception. I recommend this book to all my friends that know real Indian flavours.
Best Indian cookbook yet!
I've tried many of the other popular Indian cuisine books, and quite frankly, none of them came close to reproducing the tastes of Indian home cooking.
This book changes everything.
