This is the ultimate celebration of the authentic Indian curry, encompassing both the classic and the unusual dishes from every region of India.

Fifty recipes for authentic Indian curries follow, from the classic Goa Lamb Vindaloo to the more exotic Gujarat Mango and Yogurt Curry, each accompanied by a detailed head note on the recipe's origin, regional background, and a full-color picture to show color and texture. An additional 50 recipes, from rice, lentils, and potatoes to breads, chutneys, and desserts, round out this thorough book.
