It's a clever title, inviting the hunter-currier to scour its pages in the quest of the holy grail: the secret of the formula 'Indian' cooking as achieved in every local curryhouse up and down the UK and beyond. Don't expect authentic home-cooking, nor twee innovation with 'oh-so-healthy' ingredients; it's pure and simple curryhouse fare. And simple it is, maybe too simple: you either love it or you hate it, it seems. Everyone talks of a really lingering smell when making the curry sauces from this book. Nearly everyone has their little additions to 'improve' things. Some people find the result is rather bland same-tasting curries. Others find the book the answer to their 'that restaurant taste' prayers. Whether it does give the secret of Indian Restaurant Cooking as served in your local curryhouse, is therefore not resolved. But it is cheap enough, and should be in all curryholics' libraries.
P.S: Who is Kris Dhillon. A mystery unresoved since he/she first published The Curry Secret back in 1989.
