Curry is enjoyed throughout the world. This wonderful selection of curry recipes draws its inspiration from India, Thailand, China, England, Indonesia and the Caribbean.

These quick, easy and tantalizing recipes feature ingredients found in supermarkets, yet the dishes maintain authentic tastes and flavors.

Some of the creative curry recipes include:

  • Vegetables masala (mixed vegetables, tomato, gravy, curry leaf); chicken and wild mushroom curry with saffron; Indian-style butter chicken; Kashmiri-style lamb with root vegetables
  • Thai beef-tamarind curry with potato; braised beef with chililime and lemongrass; Caribbean coconut lime braised pork; grilled fish tikka
  • Shrimp curry, Calcutta style; Caribbean-spiced tilapia; calamari curry
  • Dansak (lentils with vegetables); eggs sambal goreng; chili coconut dal.

Among the accompaniments and side dishes:

  • Tomato onion rice pilau; spicy Singapore noodles; zucchini pancake
  • Caramelized mango relish; spicy pickled green beans; fresh mint raita.

These and other authentic recipes will allow home cooks to experience international curry cuisine at its most tantalizing.

Review

Even if your only culinary experience with curry has been a Curried Chicken Salad at a wedding shower five years ago, this cookbook will be a revelation -- it opens the doors to a global taste experience. (James A. Cox The Midwest Book Revieq 2008)

I love curry, so a book that calls itself the Complete Curry Cookbook: 250 Recipes from Around the World hits the right note with me. These quick, easy and tantalizing recipes fill the bill, as they feature ingredients found in supermarkets. Yet the dishes that I tried still maintain those authentic tastes that are so important. Curry is enjoyed throughout the world -- in India, Thailand, China, England, Indonesia and the Caribbean, and each of these areas makes curry in their own different and distinctive way. This cookbook offers curry recipes from each of these regions and includes the flavors that make them unique. If you are a home cook who wants to experience international curry cuisine at its most tantalizing, these recipes will put you on that road. I have several marked to try already and from what others have said about the book I am really looking forward to delving into it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great if you're gluten or dairy free Dec 3 2008
By crazybatcow TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
I have a similar cookbook and a lot of the recipes in that one are very complicated and require ingredients that I can't find. This book has simple ingredients - for example, you can use a prepared red curry paste - but there are also recipes to make your own pastes if you want to spend the extra time.

I bought this book because my household is gluten and dairy free and I needed some recipes that would put some variety into our meals; it does that. There is a pretty even mix of Thai, Indian and Sweet curries (all taste completely different) and a nice mix of meat, chicken and vegetarian recipes.

It is exactly what you'd expect - decent curry recipes that run the gambit from sweet to very hot, easy to follow, ingredients easy to find and, best of all for my purposes, most of the recipes don't use dairy or wheat flour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great! Feb 8 2011
By C. Hing - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I like cooking saucy, meaty foods, and curries fit the bill. This is one of the easier curry books I've come across. Three main reasons:

1. It caters to the accessible-to-non-city-dweller ingredients without sacrificing spices I've found in other curry books. I honestly believe the Lamb Korma is really Lamb Korma. Besides, it included Filipino Adobo Chicken and Filipino Adobo Pork recipes, and it was very accurate - I grew up making those in Ohio.

2. Easy instructions for the slightly clueless cook. For example: "Use your food processor to blend the ingredients. If you don't have one, use your blender, but add a little more of the tomato liquid."

3. Full of useful easy-to-understand tips on what I could and shouldn't substitute, and how to prepare the ingredients. For example: "We recommend using full-fat yogurts, but if you use reduced-fat yogurts, make sure it does not contain gelatin, as it will create a curdled texture to the curry." And, "Make sure the yogurt is at room temperature before you add it, or it will also curdle. If you forgot to leave it out to warm up, give it..." Well, I forgot, I'm too lazy to wait any longer for the yogurt to warm up, and I don't mind curdled! Yum anyway, and not too curdled. Also - the recommendation to peel the gingerroot was inspirational. I grew up in a household where we gave 1-2 rough chops to large chunks of hastily washed ginger and called it good. This. Is. Much. Better.

Plus the tips are neatly organized in the beginning, the appendix in the back, and on the sides of the pages. The font is pretty without being pretentious, and its size is perfect. There's something to be said for a beautifully laid out page - and each page is beautifully laid out!

This is by far one of the best cookbooks I have in my bookshelf. The recipes are one more delicious than the other. There hasn't been a recipe yet that I've made that we don't like. I sometimes just flip open the book to any page and enjoy what it offers. Must have for anyone who enjoys variety and delicious food.
