All Asian Cookbook

By Jacki Passmore
Spring Books - 1979

This tasted amazing! I live near a really good indian takeaway and this is as good if not better than theirs. The list of spices is quite long and the book could maybe have done with bracketing wich ones were for the marinade to be made into a paste and wich were to be fried in the curry, but its a small niggle. once you`ve got everthing together this was pretty easy to make, and it has the quality of the best indians of being flavourful and complex tasting without quite being able to tell exactly whats been used. also it seemed a pretty authentic recipe, using spices that must have been a bit of a chore to get in the 70s or 80s.
