Topic: The Curry Crunch - ISBN 978095634030-6

[Unclebuck]

I bought this little curry book [very little] 57 pages total!
Only got it because as far as i know the only BIR cookbook from a Bangladeshi chef and restaurateur
MR Mohammed Shofique Ullah.

But it does have all the mains you need plus sides, sundries + desserts

Haven't had time to try any recipes yet, the 'bhuna onion' caught my eye, seems similar to ashoka bunjara

there is moots of pre made pastes for the tikka recipes so maybe not for the purists, reads more like a bir menu then a cook book with typos and bad grammar but who am i to criticize as long as the curry's turn out to be good.
a couple of things that do bug me tho is the price 11 squid + p+p [dont tell George he'll have a (moderated) heart attack]
and the spice mix is called 'secret spice mix' pleasssse, and whats with the title? unless there restaurant is called curry crunch i dun-know!!

anyone else have this book?

Amazon review by "BE" could this be Bruce Edwards?

Hi UB,
I've had it for over a year and it's ok.
Nothing new to a lot of us and, yes, a bit pricey for the content.

Not convinced : this is what he had to say :
 

I have been cooking Indian Restaurant style curries for many years. I am happy to buy just about anything that is published on the subject in the belief that if I find one new idea, it has been worth it. This is the first book of this type I have seen that delivers on its' promise; it gives all the information you need to cook Restaurant style dishes at home. Nothing clever or elaborate, just good basic stuff. For what it is it may appear pricey, but worth every penny, and will give you more useful information than many books of 200 or more pages. Thoroughly recommended.

That said, the review is sufficient to tempt me ...
