Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Indian curries Comment: I bought my copy of this wonderful book in U.A.E. in 2006. I have been working my way through it ever since. The recipes are easy to follow and all dishes have so far proved popular. At least a quarter of the book is devoted to the use of spices and helpful hints and background. The photography is exceptional and sets the digestive juices flowing! I rate this as my favorite Indian cook book and I have now purchased another copy to give as a gift from Amazon. Customer Rating: Summary: Good but annoying when first starting Comment: i almost gave up on making curries mainly in part to this book. i only kept it for the rice and accompaniments section at the back of the book. my major gripes were 1. this book says to whisk yogurt, it never works just whisked, pretty much all indian chefs add flour or for a more authentic taste powdered dhal to thicken so that it does not split when cooking 2. when the book says to add water at the end of the cooking of onions and spices, the amounts made for a very watery weak flavoured gravy as liquid was also being added from the meat, so halving or even thirding this makes it work much better if you address these 2 areas you can end up with a very nice book, the madras style curry and the meat cooked with cardamon being standouts. Customer Rating: Summary: Curries of India Comment: I like this book a lot, I have made quite a few of the receipes so far Customer Rating: Summary: Best curry book I've read Comment: Despite its small size, this book is packed with information beyond the 50 recipies mentioned in the title. It spends a lot of time covering the spices and ingredients used in Indian curries, complete with pictures, description of their flavours and properties and how to best use them. Very useful if you want to improvise and experiment. It also discusses the philosophy of Indian cuisine and how to plan and serve an Indian meal. After a very informative introduction we come to the recipes. The recipes cover all of India and offer a great insight into the wide variety of curries made. Every recipe I have made has turned out amazingly rich in both flavour and texture. Each recipe is also accompanied by a photo so you know what the final result is supposed to look like. So in summary if you want to learn how to make a wide variety of amazing curries and about the ideas and flavours of Indian cooking, this is the book to get. Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic Book! Comment: I love to cook Indian food and I bought this book after borrowing a copy from a friend and deciding I couldn't live without it! There is a whole section covering herbs and spices, with descriptions, their uses and photographs. Recipes are easy to follow, and the book has a wide range of dishes for all tastes. Most recipes are photographed - an attractive book to have. More Reviews
