Curry Compendium: Misty Ricardo's Curry Kitchen

Product Information

Oh my gosh! I’m so excited by this cookbook! Rating: 5/5. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC. I am hoping to get a hard copy of this wonderful book! The descriptions and beautiful pictures will have you drooling with anticipation. Despite having relatively few ingredients, when cooked correctly it will have amazing flavour layers. Prepare the base sauce (aka base gravy) and spice mix (aka mix powder) separately before making this Madras. If you read this cookbook/guide carefully, you will be able to churn out Tikka Masala, Rogan Josh and a whole host of your favourite dishes. Be prepared for some high heat for your taste buds as well as in the kitchen as you serve up some of the delicious recipes in this very well written cookbook. Anyone who has eaten at one of the many hundreds of Indian restaurants in Britain knows how fabulous the curries are there. And believe it or not, in Britain there are even excellent curries in the deli cases of the larger grocery stores (very unlike what you get in US grocery delis – the curries are actually edible and delicious). Up to now it’s been quite difficult to make good British curry at home, but Richard Sayce, who is considered an expert on British Curries, has made it easy in his excellent cookbook, Curry Compendium: Misty Ricardo's Curry Kitchen. The varieties of curry in this book are endless, and include traditional and unique new curries. Add 75ml of base sauce and stir and scrape everything together. Leave to cook with no further tampering until the dry craters form again.

Everything is explained what is best for what dish you are creating. A great guide to recreating British Indian Restaurant favourites from the comfort of your own home! and you can recreate superb British Indian Restaurant food at home with the works of Misty Ricardo's Curry Kitchen" I would highly advise reading the beginning of this book before diving straight into the individual recipes. I learnt a lot about base gravy and other things by doing so which I think made cooking the recipes easier and gave me some context as to why I was doing what I was doing. It’s also really interesting. Let me start by saying that I absolutely love Indian food. I have travelled to India and eaten authentic food there, but I also adore British Indian food; which is different. Getting a takeaway on a Friday or Saturday night is a British tradition and Indian is my favourite takeaway to get. So to have the option to create those kind of flavoursome and tasty meals at home is very exciting to me. I’ve tried a couple of the recipes now and they’ve both been amazing. Really easy to follow, clear and precise which is everything I need in a good recipe. The final product tasted amazing and as a non-cook I had a huge sense of pride (sad I know). We’re veggies in our household so I just switched out the meat for potatoes and mushrooms and it worked really well.To mouth-watering side dishes Saag Aloo, Panaar, Aloo Gobi to Pilau Rice, Lemon rice, Naan breads and how to make lovely onion salad and mint sauce to go with your meal. Most of the recipes featured in the book are for generous single size Indian takeaway servings (unless stated otherwise) as this is the best way to bring out all of the flavours, especially when cooking in a home kitchen. As a lot of people will also be cooking for other family members or friends at the same time and won’t want to cook several individual potions there are instructions on how to make larger portions correctly (scaling up), not just multiplying the ingredients by number of people. Fry for a further 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to stop the spices catching and burning. Add a little more water to help with this.

Curry in the UK is massive business, contributing billions of pounds to the British economy, with most British towns having at least one Indian restaurant (although curry dishes in the UK are generally Indian dishes modified for British tastes).

Then add the ginger/garlic paste, stirring for about 30 seconds until it starts to brown a little. Avoid burning!
