I'd like to seriously recommend Anjum Anands Indian Food made Easy book

[Piffle]

I havetried umpteen of her recipes
All fab dead easy once you get properly stocked up (I did all mine online from www.spicesofindia.co.uk)
My butcher joints chicken legs for me happily and lamb bits
I never knew he could until I asked

Tis wonderful our house smells gorgeous
if you like Indian Food, even if you like mild fragrant or mad heated stuff, it is brilliant.
Nuff said

Is she the woman who had a programme on BBC2 very recently?

(a bit of an Asian style Nigella?)

Yes, did the lamb thing she did on the show the other week (only used chicken instead) Was gorgeous and very authentic ie not like my usual attemots at "curry". Too much water though in her recipe, had to reduce for a lot longer than she said

oh we are now eating Indian food every nigh
Cheap as bloody chips when you do chickpeas and lentils and pittas!!!

The Book People have her book for £3.99, well worth it IMO.
