About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Favorite cookbook: The Complete Meze Table by Rosamond Man

Favorite recipe: Melissa Clark's Roasted Broccoli with Shrimp

Madhur Jaffrey Cooks Curries (TV Cooks)

By Madhur Jaffrey, Philip Webb
BBC Books - 1996

Curried tuna (Tuna ki kari) : page 28

Extremely simple, and quite good, actually.
Good store-cupboard lunch or dinner.

Identical to recipe in Madhur Jaffrey's Quick and Easy Indian Cookery.

Small yellow split peas (chana dal) : page 47

Good dal, not too spicy, not too bland. Combine with rice and a vegetable raita.
