| "Rick Stein's India" |
| "Whenever I hear the word curry I'm filled with a longing for spicy hot food with the fragrance of cumin cloves and cinnamon I see deep red colours from lots of Kashmiri chillis tinged with a suggestion of yellow from turmeric I think of the tandoor oven and slightly scorched naan shining with ghee and garlicWhen Indians talk of their food they talk about their life To understand this country you need to understand curry What makes a good curry? Sensual spicy aromas or thick creamy sauces? Rich dark dals or crispy fried street snacks? Rick journeys through India to find the answer searching this colourful chaotic nation in search of the truths behind our love affair with its food Chefs home cooks and street vendors hold the key to unlocking the secrets of these complex and diverse flavours - and Rick's travels take him to the heart of both their long-held traditions and most modern techniques He uncovers recipes for fragrant kormas delicate spiced fish and slow-cooked biryanis all the while gathering ideas and inspiration for his own take on that elusive dish - the perfect curry"
