Madhur Jaffrey's Ultimate Curry Bible

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Madhur Jaffrey
by: Madhur Jaffrey

October 02, 2003
I picked this up from a friend and went out to buy the essential ingredients for the basic curries - cumin, fennel, mustard seeds, tamarind, cardomom, cinammon etc...and low and behold i have been able to create some lovely authentic curries - just like you get the curry house!!!

what amazed me most was how simple it was and also how cheap it is to eat indian food - once you have a collection of the basic ingredients all you need is bit of meat, veg, stock or coconut milk - obviously there are some recepies that require a few more things buying from the shop but often you can omit the odd ingredient and still get a great tasting dish.

There is a great recipie for a pakistani basic curry sauce which is so chepa and ... Read More:

Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cookery

Like the other reviewers, our copy of this book looks disgusting - all the page corners are bent over, many pages are besplattered with turmeric and other remnants of dishes made, and its grown to about double its original thickness.

It's superb and 95% of the dishes have been wonderful. We repeat them time and again. It uses a certain set of easy-to-get spices and, once you have them all, you can just about make anything in the book. You need a bit of time for preparation but the results are great. Our favourites are too many to mention but special places in our hearts and stomachs are: lamb rogan josh, chicken with tomatoes, royal beef, chickpeas, black-eyed beans, and potatoes with sesame seeds.

Madhur Jaffrey Indian Cooking

I just love this book. It is full of yummy recipes with lovely colour photographs and the actual recipes are easy to make and each one I have cooked has turned out first class. There is a good selection of recipes which are divided into catergories, which include, poultry, meat, pulses, vegetables, sweets etc.

There are no fussy ingredients which one cannot find, and the cooking method is pretty straightforward. This has to be my favourite curry book by far. I am a very satisfied customer!

Simple Indian Cookery

February 03, 2005
I browsed Amazon while back in the UK last summer, and I wanted to find a book on Indian cuisine which would be simple enough for me to prepare in Cairo where I live.
I decided to check out Madhur Jaffrey's titles, who else but the Doyenne of Indian cuisine? I was happy to find this BBC published title, and even more so when I saw the word "Simple" on the cover!
I'm fond of Indian food, and have admired wonderful dishes prepared on the BBC TV series. With the book in my hand I decided to try them for myself. Mango Lassi was a winner, and the Kebab recipe turned out perfectly. I would really like to commend Madhur Jaffrey, as her book is exactly as it says on the cover. Simple.
I am now browsing Amazon for another Madhur Jaffrey ... Read More:

Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian Cookbook

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Madhur Jaffrey

I bought this book years ago, eight to be precise, and it has travelled with me to India and Dubai constantly being used to the point I need to cover it with plastic it is so messed up. I enjoyed cooking the dishes I have tasted all over Asia. My only criticism is that I wanted to be able to index the recipes with the hindi names for dishes from this country but it hardly matters. I have copied recipes to give to friends who have never heard of some of the food and they too have had fun cooking new flavours.I dont need pictures - I love to experiment listening to sounds the names of the veg and spices. Who needs meat with these kinds of recipes to hand.
