to feast the senses. This book opened my eyes to the wonders of
Indian home-cooking" - Antony
Worrall Thompson

of enticing recipes" Lindsey Bareham

must for every curry lover's bookshelf" Olive
Magazine
"This
charming book is designed to give a flavour and taste of
India..." Daily Telegraph
Reza Mahammad
is determined to get us all in the kitchen. Real Indian cuisine is
largely learnt, passed down through generations of family life and
tradition, making use of exotic-sounding ingredients such as
asafoetida, ghee, jaggery, khoa and fenugreek. However, as Reza
demonstrates, with his inimitable style, flare and naughty sense of
humour, even the most unpractised of cooks can benefit from the
exciting array of spices and foods that are available across the UK.
In fact, with the help of this collection of simple yet
mouth-watering recipes, both fresh and ready-ground spices can be
used to stunning effect.
Flavoured
throughout with pointers and tips such as REZA'S RULES ('read these
before you even touch a pan unless you need to use it as a weapon'),
Reza presents delights such as Duck Samosas ('humming birds were not
available&ldots;') Paratha with Sweet Potato Filling, Prawn Curry
with Coconut Milk (Konju Roast), Lentil Dumplings in a Yoghurt Sauce,
Methi Gosht and Afghani Aubergine Casserole.
If you love
Indian cooking but have no idea where to start, RICE, SPICE AND ALL
THINGS NICE is the perfect introduction. Create these dishes and an
intoxicating blend of aromas and tastes will fill your kitchen,
evoking the very feel and flavour of India.
Reza Mahammad
, famously flamboyant owner of Star of India in London, is a rising
star on Channel 4 and Living TV featuring in 'Delhi Belly', 'Coconut
Coast' and 'A Place in France'.
