Curry Lovers: From Keralan Fish Curry to Koftas in Cinnamon Masala (The Small Book of Good Taste) - Hardcover

A rich and evocative collection of over thirty curries, this book celebrates India’s culinary tradition and also adapts classic dishes to suit the tastes of modern home cooks. Each recipe is beautifully photographed and simple to make, without compromising on authenticity and flavor.

Alongside this fascinating collection of recipes, you’ll find an informative and accessible guide to key ingredients, including myriad spices, chillies, coconut, mango and herbs, how to make the popular flatbread, naan, as well as the secret to perfect fluffy basmati rice.

Curry Lovers brings to life the rich culinary diversity of India with a fascinating collection of recipes. Just as Indian food is the result of numerous cultural and religious influences, author Roopa Gulati’s cooking is inspired by a diverse range of sources and experiences. Most of the dishes are typified by simplicity without compromising on flavor, while, a few like the classic fragrant lamb biryani and stuffed tandoori chicken, cloaked in a richly spiced yogurt marinade, pander to the enthusiastic weekend cook who has time to indulge.

Born and brought up in Cumbria, Roopa explored her taste for culinary adventure in India, her home for eighteen years. A Cordon Bleu trained chef, she blended western and Asian styles of cooking while working as a consultant chef with the Taj group of hotels, and while cooking on a daily live show broadcast on the Star TV channel. Roopa returned to Britain in 2001 and lives in London where she is Deputy Channel Editor with UKTV Food. She is a regular radio broadcaster for BBC Radio 4, and a restaurant critic for Time Out magazine and guides. Her features have been published in many magazines, including BBC Good Food and New York based food and travel magazine, Gourmet.
