Royal Indian Cookery

THis book is full of TRADITIONAL Indian recipes. It is not curry in a hurry but goes back to basics. If you have the time, this is possibly the best Indian Cookbook around.

I bought this as a replacement to one I had years ago. Not all of the recipes here are winners, but there are loads of recipes, so you're sure to find something useful. Some of the recipes seem as though they waste time, as though they're deliberately avoiding time-saving ingredients and techniques. However, the book seems to be written almost as a memoir of how food was made when the author was younger. And because she's not relying on pre-made ingredients, she gives recipes for *everything* - spice blends, pickles, chutneys, etc. My favorite recipe is for Railway Station Curry. Yum!
