Because of him I’m a ‘curry cook expert’ and am a food journalist and critic. it is without doubt the definitive guide to Asian food per say and I feel so indebted to him….lovely drawings too!

He tells you how to make your own curry paste and powder and has some excellent recipes in. Tick-keeah kebab which is mutton, onion, tumeric, garlic, chillis, peppercorns, ground ginger, hot spices (garam masala), yoghurt and butter or gee and a tiny bit of salt. It reads much like a recipe you might find today. It’s just amazing to think it’s 50 years old. Harvey Day is assisted in his curry quest by Sarojini Mudnani and May Ewing. Fantastic recipe book!

I had a fish soup made with condensed milk once. It was odd, to say the least.

Although I don’t remember condensed milk . . . thankfully.

And these curries were horrible, weird tasting. Meant I grew up thinking “I don’t like Indian food”. Until I was 20 and nagged by a friend of mine to go to a real Indian restaurant. And I haven’t looked back. I now realise exactly how much of an abomination those old fashioned curries were.

I’ve never ever heard of condensed milk in Indian cooking. You think that was their take on cream back in ’63? I am sure they are happy to have you in the family.

Great picture
