Curry tells the story of an array of familiar Indian dishes and the
people who invented, discovered, cooked and ate them. Curry is
vivid, entertaining and delicious. 'Fascinating and meticulously
researched...layers historical fact with mouth-watering dinner
table gossip' Meera Syal, The Times This imaginative book tells the
history of India and 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 and the chillies they
had recently discovered in the New World; the British soon
followed, with their passion for roast meat accompanied by
cauliflowers and beans. When these new ingredients were mixed with
native spices, they produced these distinctly Indian dishes.
