The Book features Britain’s much loved Chicken Tikka Masala. It also has other unique dishes like spicy tomato and coconut soup, dry crab curry and sweet potatoes with panch phoren.
There is a comprehensive glossary on Indian food details the spices and utensils required for Indian cooking . The fantastic photography adds to the appeal of the book.
The book has plenty of supporting information without becoming weighty and heavy. A real must-have for anyone who loves Indian food and cooking.
