The Curry Secret - Kris Dhillon5
I bought this wonderful book some time ago as a friend recommended it.
It is a fabulous gem of a book and if you follow the recipes to the letter you will never be disappointed. I found the dishes to be very close to that of Indian restaurants. One tip I would pass on is to buy the garum masala mix from a proper indian food shop as the type sold in Tesco and the like are definitely not the same and ruin the taste of the curry.

I have since told all of my family and they have all bought the book and all think it a revelation.

Can't wait for 'The New Curry Secret' book to come out in Feb 2009!

Good starting point ...4
A unique cook book and a good starting point in reproducing that Indian take-away flavour. If you love the 'British Indian Restaurant' (BIR) style (as opposed to authentic), better recipes for both the curry base and individual 'BIR' style curries are available for free from the Curry Recipes Online forum at cr0.co.uk

This book is awful, unless you want to cook using a microwave and add food colourings. Not what I was hoping for.
