Product Description

At last, here's the book we've all been waiting for: curries that are healthy, low in fat and absolutely mouthwatering! The Slimming World approach to food optimising means that you never have to deny yourself or miss out - you can indulge your wildest curry fantasies and cook quick and easy, exotic meals every day of the week. "Slimming World's Curry Feast" takes in dishes from across India, Thailand and Malaysia, with dishes both sweet and spicy, fresh and fragrant, and delicious and decadent. With soups and starters such as Thai green curry soup and Onion bhajis, you can recreate all those restaurant favourites at home. Main-course curries feature such classics as slow-cooked lamb rogan josh, red-hot beef madras, and mild creamy chicken korma. There are plenty of fish and seafood options too, like aromatic Goan prawn curry or Kerala-style fish steamed in banana leaves. Or for a lighter option, try refreshing lemongrass and prawn salad or chicken tikka with red onion. For vegetarians, lentils, rice and pulses make fantastic dishes including tarka dhal, chana masala, spiced beetroot with coconut and Mumbai aloo (cumin-scented potatoes). And an Indian banquet wouldn't be complete without accompaniments such as lime pickle and coconut pickle. Whether you want a simple one-dish supper at home, or a feast for family friends, this exciting selection of authentic, tasty recipes makes for the perfect meal.

Customer Reviews

Curry Heaven!
A fantastic curry book for us slimming world members. Most can be adapted for veggie diets like mine (by substituting the meat for Quorn) and most are even syn free! A great way to add another set of meals to your weekly menus. Only downfall is that you'll need to make sure you have a good selection of spices for all those currys that you'll want to try.

Curry without the guilt!
I love Indian food but as anyone dieting will know without very selective ordering a trip to the Indian can be bad news for the waistline. Here is the book to solve your problems, good recipies, easy to follow, loads of colour photos. Tried and tested on friends who are not watching their weight and all agreed meals taste great. Details given for those on Slimming World but would be fine for anyone dieting generally.

Easy to Use
Lots of curry recipe books can be quite fiddly. This is practical and easy to use. There are a few ingredients that can be hard to get, which is why it gets four and not five stars from me. I'm lucky in that I live near a vibrant Asian community and was able to source a lot of the stuff, but there are some things you will not find in regular supermarkets. The other thing I would be slightly wary of is spiciness levels. I made the Andrha chilli chicken the other day. It recommended two fresh chillis and five dried chillis. I thought this was a bit much, even for a spicy dish. I added two fresh chillis and it was more than enough for us. I suggest adding your chilli amounts gradually to taste.

Having said all that these are great recipes which I have used time and time again. We use them at the times when we're doing Slimming World, and during regular times as well, they taste so good. They are very adaptable and on the days when I want to be syn free on Slimming World I will substitute the meat element for Quorn.

Using this recipe book was the first time I had tried making samosas or bhajis and both went really well and were much easier than I expected. There is a great selection of veggie dishes, and even soups.
