I thinking of getting someone a curry book for Xmas, does anyone have any suggestions?? needs to be restaurant style and its for a novice cook. Ta UB.
-
it's got to be the KD book, Curry Secret for me (ISBN 0-7160-0809-2).
the Lynette Baxter, Balti adds quite a bit of extra insight too (ISBN 0-86288-275-3). Introduces the idea of frying and using a spice mix for example.

I've got that one and I have made a few curries from it. Shows you how to make some kind of basic curry sauce too.
How about the book 'Curry'with dishes from India, Thailand, Malaysai and Indonesia published by DK.

CurryMonster thats the one.
50 Great Curries of India, Camellia Panjabi.
At times it comes with a DVD in the back cover.
I have never obtained the DVD version.
IMHO it a good book, its not full of BIR false promises
etc. Its a cook book. Good for anyone starting out to cook
Indian food, It gives results some good some not so good.
(ask me what you should try first if your stuck)
NOTE...
1) this book comes in either A5 or the older A4 size!!
All books seem to have the same errors but with some thinking
you can work things out.
2) A list of errors with this book was posted on this site.
The A4 and now the A5 books are 99% the same book.
A5 size...http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Curries-India-Camellia-Panjabi/dp/1856265463/ref=pd_cp_b_0?pf_rd_p=212521391&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1856263800&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0RHGEC1DYW7HYPTGGHVD
A4 size...http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Curries-India-Camellia-Panjabi/dp/1856263800/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228250170&sr=1-7

I've just bought this book from Amazon. Well worth the 12.99 price tag (normally 20.00).
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1904573886
The author (Vivek Singh) is executive chef of the Cinnamon Club, London.
While the recipies are not exactly typical BIR, they are all very detailed and well within the capabilites of the average home chef.
SnS ;D

Thanks Graeme,
I've just bought it (with the DVD). What recipes would you recommend?

I have the 50 great curries book, ive tried a couple out of there and i find the water that they tell you to add is always way to much, any one else had this?

I am sorry that i did not find time to reply to currymonster
and this post sooner, I have been organising a family event.
I sent a private message a while back to currymonster as soon
as i realised I was not going to get back any sooner (he bought the book).
However currymonster and other bir members, the first item to cook
from this book would be on page 126 Prawns in sweet and hot curry
(prawn patia) if you do nothing else try this. My advise is to AT FIRST TRY
cut down on all spices (and green heat) by say half. Also and add the
full 400g tin of toms (but carefull with the amount of juice)
Onions, I fill a pint glass (two onions etc means nothing to me)
with very finely chopped onion and fry for 15-20 mins before moving on.
During the first few goes don't use any prawns! make this as a sauce.
You can use prawns, chicken or chicken tikka etc later with this sauce.
Its the sauce i am talking about.
Also if you leave out the final sour, sweet
and salt? ingredients we seem to have a basic Indian bhuna too.
let us know what you think.

I just received The Curry Bible as a Christmas gift. Anybody else have it? It looks pretty good with some very nice pictures of curries in it. Also, seems to be good descriptions of the cooking proedures to be followed. There are curries there from India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia etc.

Thanks Graeme, no problem.
I bought the A4 Paperback with DVD version of this book and the recipe you mention is on page 113. Looks like a good recipe,
I've still got loads of Ashoka Base though so I might use this recipe to inspire a dish using that.
Can't.... resist... urge... to.... experiment! ;D
