About this ebook

Dan Toombs (aka The Curry Guy) has perfected the art of replicating British Indian Restaurant (BIR) cooking after travelling around the UK, sampling dishes, learning the curry house kitchen secrets and refining those recipes at home.

In other words, Dan makes homemade curries that taste just like a takeaway from your favourite local but in less time and for less money. Dan has learnt through the comments left on his blog and social media feeds that people are terribly let down when they make a chicken korma or a prawn bhuna from other cookbooks and it taste nothing like the dish they experience when they visit a curry house... but they thank him for getting it right.

The Curry Guy shows all BIR food lovers around the world how to make their favourite dishes at home. Each of the classic curry sauces are given, including tikka masala, korma, dopiazza, pasanda, madras, dhansak, rogan josh, vindaloo, karai, jalfrezi, bhuna and keema.

Popular vegetable and sides dishes are there as accompaniments, aloo gobi, saag aloo and tarka dhal, plus samosas, pakoras, bhaji, and pickles, chutneys and raitas. Of course, no curry is complete without rice or naan. Dan shows you how to cook perfect pilau rice or soft pillowy naan every time.

Having experienced a Chicken Tikka Marsala with tricolour boiled basmati rice coupled with a peshwari naan all made by friends on their narrowboat, we were hooked on Dan's recipes and have bought the e-book version. Tomorrow, we set out to make some base curry sauce and will use it to cook ???, who knows, who cares, we just know it will be lovely. Can't wait for our boat to smell as deliciously as our friends boat did. Going to try a chutney or two, a peshwari nann ( with a few whole sultanas added to the finished paste ) and, of course, the tricolour basmati rice. If you like Indian food, this book will really please you.

Why download anything else? Like Dan I have been eating indian food for oh so many years however unlike Dan I couldn't master the quality of our great British Indian restaurants until now..... Thanks to Dan!! I downloaded the fee sample app, bought the full app then of course I bought his book. I had a cook off with an Indian chap and upon tasting my curry, Kapil did not believe I made it. Thanks to Dan I have progressed from burnt toast to perfect curries. Thanks Dan

I've only used the book for 5 common "main courses" in Scottish central belt restaurants....Yes, those recipes are so good!
