This imaginative book tells the history of India & its rulers through their food. It follows the story of curry as it spread from the courts of Delhi to the balti houses of Birmingham. Curry is the product of India`s long history of invasion. In the wake of the Mughal conquerors, an army of cooks brought Persian recipes to northern India; in the south, Portugese spice merchants introduced vinegar marinades & the chillies they had recently discovered in the New World; the British soon followed, with their passion for roast meat accompanied by cauliflowers & beans. When these new ingredients were mixed with native spices, they produced those disinctly Inidan dishes. Curry tells the story of an array of familar Indian dishes & the people who invented, discovered, cooked & ate them. Teeming with colourful characters, rich in anecdote & meticulously researched, Curry is vivid, entertaining & delicious. ...
