Traditionally, curry in India is accompanied by rice or breads, in South-east Asia by rice or
noodles. Curried meat and fish are usually served in small quantities, surrounded by inviting little
side dishes, such as pickles, chutneys, salads and sambals, flavoured w ith fresh hel-bs and chillies,
yogurt or soy sauce, and used as seasonings.
Discover how to make over 500 authentic
curry dishes in this easy-to-use guide, which
offers an incredible range of some of the
greatest curries of the world. All the classics
are here, from Rogan Josh and Beef Madras to
creamy Lamb Korma and Ch icken Saag, but

divided into accessible chapters on Appetizers
and Light Bites: Fish and She llfish: Chicken and Poultry: Meat and Game: Vegetarian: Biryanis and
Rice: Rice Side Dishes and Breads: Side Dishes: and Chutneys, Pickles and Salads.
