Just been on holiday for a couple of weeks and took the cookbook
India by Pushpesh Pant
Not BIR but the recipes come from all regions of India and well worth a read
The book boasts of 1000 recipes
It covers spice mixes and pastes pickles chutneys Raitas snacks , appetizers ,mains ,pulses,breads, rice
In my opinion well worth a place on the side board with the other 20 odd curry books ;D

I neither want to sound negative nor cast doubt on your judgement, but purely personally I would far prefer (and would pay far more for) a recipe book containing 50 (or even ten !) top-class recipes that appeal to me to any number of books that offer a thousand or more recipes most of which I will never even try.
My EUR 0.02, and definitely not trying to start an argument !

Couldn't agree more Phil
It did have good reviews and was abit of a gamble at 20 quid
I always say if i find 1 recipe or an idea that works then the books was worth the purchase ( have to wait and see on that one ;) )
The tandoori stuff looks good when it starts to mention about 2 marination's and basting before putting back in to the tandoor . I started to treat it more seriously

I agree about the reviews : very positive. For those that want to try some of Pushpent's recipes (but from an earlier book), there is a (legal) online copy here (http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=DWk8JrB2iXEC&pg=PR15&lpg=PR15&dq=daawat+cookbook&source=bl&ots=S8u9qwcsP2&sig=bnRmMj7Gl1E3stY_Ocig5mC04H8&hl=en&ei=-PBHTuH1B4bSiAK61YnnAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=daawat%20cookbook&f=false).
