Now, on to the recipes...
restaurant-style
Here is a selection of recipes from my 2004 book, The Curry House Cookery Book. The recipes aim to replicate Indian restaurant dishes, but are specifically designed to be made in a domestic kitchen.

from the Raj
There were scores of cookery books written for British housewives who were resident in India during the British Raj. The books are mainly concerned with cooking British food under Indian conditions but some of the cookery books include chapters on cooking curries, kebabs, koftas and pulaos. The "Oriental" recipes in these books are not what the Indian population of the time would have been eating. The recipes have been Anglicised to suit British tastes and they give a fascinating insight into the British in India. |
party servings
Curries that are big enough to feed 8 or more people. Avoid the hassle and unpredictability of scaling-up recipes meant for 2 or 4 people by using a recipe that's specifically designed to make a large number of servings. There's only one recipe here at the moment and that is for Kheema Lobia - spicy minced lamb with black eyed beans. But we will be adding more recipes over time. |
