The Noon Book of Authentic Indian Cookery

by G K Noon

The "Noon Book of Authentic Indian Cookery" is a highly illustrated culinary journey around the continent of India. "Curry" is popular in many countries in the world - the classic dishes on offer, such as chicken tikka, chicken biryani and mutton roganjosh, are legacies of the Great Moghul emperors who ruled India for 300 years from the early part of the 16th century. The lavish patronage of these monarchs gave cooks the leisure and incentive to perfect their skills and raised cuisine to an art form. Creamy kormas, tender kebabs and spicy pilaus first created in the imperial kitchens have now become an international taste. The recipes in this book are quick and easy versions of these great dishes, as well as those dishes that have evolved or been invented since.

the dishes are easy to cook. but the most interesting feature of the book is its photographs, they are as lively and delectable as the recipes.
