Fast & Easy Indian Cooking

[JulieO]

I've just picked up the cookbook from the post office and after only having a quick glance, it looks really good. Gives recipes for lots of pastes and powders to use in the recipes too and from what I've seen the recipes expect you to use other methods of cooking some of the curries with help from the TM in some aspects, which I think is great.  Can't wait to sit down quietly and have a good look through.

Will just give a reminder to anyone using recipes from the book, that the UK tablespoon is only 15ml, where ours is 20ml, so if you don't have a smaller sized tablespoon measure, just use 3 x teaspoons instead. (can make a big difference, especially in curries!  )

Thank you for that invaluable tip -- you're right! Have ordered a book and hopefully I'll get it this week.

Good tip JulieO - the book does spell that out opposite the table of Contents, but for all you gung-ho cooks, be warned,

It is the sort of book that you probably do need to sit and have a good read before you jump in.  There are 4 pages of very useful tips and most recipes have some description or tip at the start.

Really like it.

Thanks for the reminder about the tablespoon size. I would be just as likely to read the beginning of the book after we'd had a few over flavoured curries. As they always say, when all else fails read the instructions (or beginning of the book)
