Introduction
Many difficulties stand in the way of anyone trying to
explore the secrets of Indian cooking. People buy a
cookbook but find the traditional recipes and methods can
be disappointing when they produce a home cooked taste and
not the distinct flavour of their favourite restaurant
curries. This is not really surprising, as the art of
restaurant cooking is a very closely kept secret, next to
impossible to uncover.
A top chef guards his trade secrets closely, knowing that
he might become dispensable should the proprietor acquire
his skills. A proprietor who is also the chef aims to
satisfy his customers, but also keeps his knowledge close
to his heart.
At the risk of upsetting my contemporaries, I have chosen
to reveal all. The following pages will show you simply a
precisely how to create the curries you love, in your own
kitchen, using the same techniques as your favourite
restaurants. Secret recipes, special little 'tricks of the
trade', have all been included to give you the knowledge to
reproduce that special taste that, until now, may well have
eluded you.
Weights and Measures
Both metric and imperial measurements have been given in
this book with metric measures being rounded up or down to
the nearest unit. Remember to use one or the other and not
to combine imperial and metric in one recipe.
All spoon measurements throughout the book are slightly
rounded spoonfuls unless specified as being level.
One cupful equals one teacup size which is approximately a
quarter pint or five fluid ounces. The important thing is
to use the same measure throughout one recipe.
