Curry Compendium: Misty Ricardo's Curry Kitchen

Product Information

Yes you can pick it up, flip to a recipe and start preparing your curry, but without reading the first part of the book that teaches you about pre-cooking chicken (and the reasons why), how to make mix spices and base curry and even watching the video tutorial on how to make basic curry sauce, your curries probably won’t be as good quality and flavoursome as your favourite Indian restaurant or takeaway. Now add the pre-cooked chicken / lamb / beef, coriander stalks, lemon juice, the optional coffee granules, and mix well into the sauce. And to help you learn more about what’s in them, please watch the two videos which give you a tour of the contents. If I could find a basic cookery course that taught the basics of cooking simple foods, I think I would do it.

Being able to recreate your favourite curry dish at home in the comfort of your own kitchen might be a challenge for a lot of people, but with Misty Richardo’s Curry Compendium by Richard Sayce you will be able to do just that!My passion led me to learn all about how curry is cooked in restaurants and takeaways here in the UK, which was my first experience of Indian food.

A simple and straightforward recipe book that is easy to read, understand and follow, without being pretentious. So asking me to cook a curry and one that would taste as good as an Indian restaurant would probably be disastrous (never mind not knowing where to begin).I have thoroughly enjoyed cooking from the book, the food has been great, simple and easy to follow with the basics all being explained for any novice cook. The British Indian Restaurant (BIR) Madras is one of my favourite curries, and coincidentally is probably the most popular amongst all other grumpy middle-aged men in the UK! This recipe is from my cookbook CURRY COMPENDIUM , and is also in my second book, INDIAN RESTAURANT CURRY AT HOME VOLUME 1 .

All the recipes can also easily be adapted by changing the main ingredient (if you didn’t want chicken, you could easily replace it with beef or something else). Their 2019 report identified this group as most likely to eat fast food and use ready meals, so we’re seeing a huge behaviour shift that will impact for years to come.Thank you to Literally PR and Misty Ricardo’s Curry Kitchen for the invitation to join the blog tour for the Curry Compendium.

Having tried unsucessfully to reproduce BIR (British Indian Restaurant style) curry many years ago, albeit with limited resources, I resigned myself to thinking the amazing flavour was out of reach for home cooks. After trying many recipes I found Misty Ricardo and now we won’t eat out because it’s not as good as we make. I was lucky enough to be given a small piece of poppadom dipped in an odd reddish, oily sauce and just one taste was enough to fuel a lifelong craving for curry. If you’re looking to reproduce BIR (British Indian Restaurant) style curry you’re in the right place.I have to be honest and say that I haven’t tried cooking any of the recipes yet, due to the family being hit by a virus over the past couple of weeks, but I look forward to trying a few milder recipes over the next few weekends (Kashmir and Pasanda are top of my list). I’m grateful to this book for lighting a fire under me and inspiring me to try new things in the kitchen. Add a second 75ml of base gravy, stirring and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan once when first added, allowing the sauce to reduce again without unnecessary stirring.
