Over 160 step-by-step recipes cater for every taste, from succulent fish and seafood dishes and vegetarian fare to classic meat and chicken curries, and there are dishes for every occasion, whether it is a simple meal at home or a special dinner party. Each easy-to-follow step-by-step recipe is also supported by a tempting photograph of the finished dish that will make you want to rush into the kitchen and start cooking straight away. As well as more familiar dishes such as Beef Vindaloo, Tandoori Chicken, King Prawn Korma, Aloo Sag and Vegetable Biryani, there are many new and interesting combinations using some of the most traditional Indian ingredients. King Prawns with Onion and Curry Leaves, Sweet-and-sour Vegetables with Panir, Spicy Bitter Gourds, Balti Chicken in Orange and Black Pepper Sauce and Carrot and Cauliflower Stir-fry are all here to try. There are many recipes for side dishes too, including breads, rices and relishes. Each dish has a detailed nutritional analysis compiled by dieticians, and an informative introduction contains all the basic information you need to know before you start low-fat cooking, as well as the secrets of Indian cuisine, such as mixing your own spices and how to brown onions without burning them. This is the essential book for lovers of Indian food everywhere who want to create authentic and interesting dishes that are healthy, too.
