The Curry Guy Easy: 100 fuss-free British Indian Restaurant classics to make at home

This is the best curry book ever. As soon as we received it we made the quick and easy base curry sauce and the lamb Achari, it was delicious as good as any Indian curry I have had. Yes the base curry sauce takes a while to do but next time I will make the bigger batch of the base curry sauce as once you have that the actual curry doesn't take long and you can freeze it bonus! I have bought his other two books and I am hoping for great results from those as well. If you can't spend half a day making the base sauce then don't buy his book, but if you can it is more than worth it.

Brilliant book for curry lovers. Easy to read and full of tips and hints. I'm just getting started and have made a batch of ginger and garlic paste and frozen cubes to keep to hand.

A good guide well written and useful. I'm being a little harsh because it is an 'easy' guide so the dishes are simpler / faster. This Guy knows his stuff, the recipes work well. I just preferred the recipies in 'The Curry Guy', so I have knocked it a star, which might be a bit unfair.

Good

Received this book as a gift and the recipes are authentic, easy to follow and delicious.

This is the second curry guy book I have purchased and again it did not disappoint! Great recipes!

Purely a personal view as this is a well written book with some good recipes. My disappointment is a lot of recipes refer to a sauce or something that is explained on another page or section so you have to flick back and forth. Also a lot more fish or seafood dishes than I expected. On first impressions I am likely to confine it to a shelf or resell it.

This is a high quality book in every aspect. The physical book is well made: the binding, paper and photos are good quality. The print size is easy to read and the page layout allows you to easily follow the text. The author's basic premise is to make a quantity of a basic sauce base which initially takes some time. Containers of this sauce are stored and used to make several different Indian meals by adding additional spices and food items. The various meals are relatively straightforward, and very flavourful. Each recipe is described clearly and many have quality photos of the final dish.

I have owned this book for less than a week, and already made 5 dishes from it. Every one has been a winner! I just ordered his "red" book. At the very least, you need this book's "quick" base sauce, and the sauce recipes; once you have them, you will be the curry king/queen in your neighborhood/family. The ingredients are surprisingly easy to get, and low cost (local grocery "international" sections, or Indian/Asian markets, or here at Amazon will get you everything you need)- they are just put together in new ways, making interesting new flavors that grab attention.

Informative book with easy to follow recipes.

I ordered this book around a year ago and the recipes are yet to disappoint! As an expat couple now living outside of England, we have struggled to find tasty Indian food that lives up to the local British Indian curry houses and this book has truly helped satiate our cravings. I am particularly fond of the chicken tikka masala and onion bhaji recipes, both which have become household staples in our home. I continuously find myself browsing this book for inspiring meals. The one "downside" with the book is that the detailing of the steps of the recipes sometimes feel a bit misleading. There are a lot of spice mixes or curry bases that needs to be made ahead of time, as well as some meat preparations, all of which are mentioned on different pages (chicken tikka p. X). This often leads to a recipe that seems very straight forward take several hours longer than anticipated or steps can easily be missed. Once you get used to triple checking the recipe, however, you won't be disappointed! The book is worth adding to anyone's Indian food lover's cookbook collection!

This book is amazing, the sheer amount of authentic recipes is great. The pictures made me hungry! The recipes are well written with easy to follow directions. The book is well made and will withstand years of perusing thru it. The seller was very responsive and friendly and I would not hesitate to shop with him again!
