Review: I bought this book for my partner and myself who are both Curry enthusiasts. We hoped that it would take our cooking to the next level. I was also reassured by the number of great reviews and the obvious fact Madhur Jaffrey has so many accolades under her name. Unfortunately and to be perfectly truthful, the book ended up being a mixed bag. We have now done a good dozen of these recipes, but the results have ended up ranging from good to terrible. Nothing has been spectacular, but I still live in hope that there will be at least one hidden gem in this hefty book. I followed the recipes almost religiously, even acquiring the sometimes hard-to-find ingrediants, but overall the rewards do not outweigh the effort required. Most of the recipes are not particularly hard to execute, but I think the measurements are often wrong and finnicky. The amount of ingrediants needed also makes it one big faff. Jaffrey has a tendency of wanting to add too much liquid to her recipes, meaning the currys either have to be reduced considerably before they are edible or you have to take a calculated risk and simply put in less liquid! The fact that there are so few pictures, while not essential, makes it slightly difficult to visualise what it should look like. Something we have never had to do was throw away a side dish, as it was just so terrible. The other thing to be aware of is that these curries are from all around the world (not just India) and as such you don't get some of the blistering hot currys you might enjoy or expect. You could obviously adapt the recipes to your liking, but I also think that kind of defeats the point of paying for a relatively expensive book which claims to be the "bible" of all curry books. Don't get me wrong. Often the currys have turned out fine, or sometimes very good, but when you have been slaving at the stove for hours to get "only good" results, there is always this thought in the back of my mind that tells me maybe it's best to bring it back to the basics.
