Topic: Shish Mahal Cookbook???

[Masala Mark]

Hi folks,

Just thought I'd ask if anyone has read or got the Shish Mahal Cookbook?

If so, what were your thoughts on the book and is it worth getting?

I've been trying to find a Contents/Recipe Index online to see what is in the book but haven't been able to locate anything.

Not sure either if they recipe style is for individual dishes rather then preparing with a base gravy.

Cheers,
Mark

I've got it
It's not really a BIR cookbook
More like homestyle recipes, no curry gravy used
It's an interesting but never used cookbook
Undercover Curry or Curry Secret are way better

Thanks Haldi!

Mark, I am delighted to say that I am  proud owner of a very stained and well used first edition copy (1982 ) that has pride of place amongst my many cookbooks. As Haldi says it isn't really a BIR book but it was a gift when first published. The writer was helping us as best he might without the base and one or two other "secrets" at the time. To be able to cook a reasonable batch of Pakora was a big deal back then I can assure you and remember there was no Internet for sharing as now. I am not sure it will add anything to the knowledge and experience in this site but a gem to have in your collection. PP
