Description

Takeaway curries are one of our favourite foods, but it is really easy to cook delicious ones yourself at home. With a selection of spices and herbs in your store cupboard, some basic fresh vegetables, and a well-stocked freezer, you can create fabulous curries whenever you want. This book includes delicious versions of all our favourite Indian curries, and dishes from all over Asia, Africa and the Caribbean as well as some fabulous fusion creations. Whatever your preference, from creamy mild ones to blow-the-roof-off-your-mouth fiery ones, there's something for you here. You'll also discover how to cook perfect rice and flatbreads and a range of tasty side dishes and accompaniments. There's a section on divine spicy desserts to round off your meal to perfection, and tips on how you can use your slow cooker or pressure cooker for making curry, too. You don't have to be an experienced cook to follow the recipes in this book. Each one is simple to make with easy step-by-step instructions and no technical jargon. Most of these great-tasting curries use ready-ground spices and pastes but for when you've time - and for really superb flavours - try the ones where you grind your own.
