    I hope it was just one of those Incident vans sitting on a bridge...

    Can I just say that Chutney Mary absolutely rocks. As does the Camden
    Masala Zone. Veerasawami and Amaya will have to wait until next time.

    glad you liked it.
    I don't think I've been in that one, only the ones on Upper Street and
    in Soho.
    Veeraswamy is styled as an old-school Indian restaurant (mainly
    because it /is/ old); Amaya is a good deal more "modern". Though of
    course, all being owned by the same people means there is a consistent
    "feel" across all of them.

    I may have mentioned this before, but I have a had a very much
    cherished copy of this:

    http://www.amazon.com/Indian-Cookery-Use-All-Countries/dp/8172242328

    for over 20 years - it's the bible of how to cook anglo-indian
    cuisine. (I don't quite get how the one reviewer on Amazon praises it
    so much but only gave it a 2 star rating). Also, the listing on Amazon
    claims a publication date of 1998, I'd have to go and look it up, but
    I'm pretty sure my copy was published in the '70s.

    In fact, in the interests of not being a lazy ****, given my cookery
    book shelf is no more than 4 metres from this computer, I've just
    checked:

    "Indian Cookery", E.P.Veeraswamy
    First Published 1963, This edition 1982.

    Well, ****, I thought it was an older copy than that.

    I've had Camellia Panjabi's "50 Great Curries of India" for some
    years. but TBH I wouldn't recommend it.

    Mmmmmm, curry. I can't wait until the next proper ruby. And it's coming up
    soon...

    well, I also have a Madhur Jaffrey recipe book, and I am completly
    comfortable with recommending anyone to avoid it.

    <g> Agreed. Then again, she isn't a director of The Masala World
    Group, which was what prompted my comment.

    I can recommend a wader around Camden, if you've not been. There's a
    huge variety of cuisines on offer from the various stalls - at least
    on a Friday.

    great if you like food poisoning.

    Next time you're in Camden, wander up the hill and try Lemonia -
    best[1]/worst[2] greek food in that part of town.

    [1] tastes fantastic
    [2] not a great "scores on the doors" hygeine rating.

    How to make a curry:

    1: Cook something
    2: Chuck some curry powder in it

    Works for me every time.

    Neither really, it's just that the hotel cater almost entirely for
    Indian tour groups during the summer months, so they ship over the
    catering staff for the season as well. It's the only restaurant in the
    hotel, so there's no choice, and clearly not everyone staying there in
    the ski season would be happy to eat curry every night.

    Shame though, as it is really good, being Indian food, cooked for
    Indians by Indians, but with Swiss hygeine and quality standards.

    them..

    I've found her recipes pretty disappointing on the whole.
