Madhur Jaffrey, television`s most-loved Indian cook, returned to our screens for a major new series for the Good Food Channel in October 2012. Travelling across Britain, visiting local Indian & South Asian communities, Madhur revealed how it`s possible to sample virtually the whole of Indian cuisine without ever leaving the British Isles. In the official tie-in book to the series, Madhur Jaffrey showcases her favourite curry recipes with influences from all over the subcontinent: Punjabi, Goan, Parsi & Bengali amongst others. Carefully selected & adapted by Madhur, the recipes conjure up the colour & vitality of this vibrant culture, but keep to her mantra that Indian food doesn`t need to be complicated. Always innovative & contemporary, Madhur will even give some of these traditional Indian recipes a twist
- pairing Aloo Gobi with a very British roast lamb, for example. Whether it`s the spicy, lentil-based specialities of Rajesthan, kebabs & kormas from Delhi, or coconut-infused curries from Kerala, we accompany Madhur Jaffrey on her very personal tour of our modern-day Curry Nation.
