Best Indian cook book?

[cleanandclothed]

Any recommendations? My supermarket stocks stacks of Indian stuff so not worried about ingredients, nor about 'healthy' because this is more 'cooking for a one-off crowd' that I want.

Camellia Panjabi - 50 Great Curries of India is great. Everything I've cooked from it is delicious!

Any of the Anjum Anand books - her recipes are fabulous and so easy. Her first one is the best ime.

Thank you. have the Anjum Anand book out of the library at the moment but haven't tried any yet. 50 Great curries looks great - might go on my Christmas list.

Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Bible is very good.

I can highly recommend the oven cooked chilli chicken (the one covered in breadcrumbs), lamb in green chillies, the chicken in yoghurt - vvv nice. Oh, and the one with lots of peppercorns in.
Ooh and the lemon rice with nuts is delish and goes very nicely with the chilli chicken :o mmmm

I'd second Madhur Jaffrey's curry bible, have done loads of the recipes and they've all worked and tasted fab. Nice lot of information about curries around the world too.

Also Madhur Jaffrey's "Eastern Vegetarian Cooking",

and the Natco website!!

Ooh thanks - am going to browse in a Waterstones and add to my Christmas list. And look at the website - I buy lots of natco spices but have never seen that.
