Fresh, full of flavour and fantastic - you'll love Si and Dave's collection of curries from all over the world
Following on from the incredible success of their cookery books covering everything from pies to dieting, the Hairy Bikers are back with Great Curries - Si and Dave's take on one of Britain's favourite foods.
We may all have our preferences when it comes to how we like our curry – some like mild and creamy and others aren’t satisfied unless it’s got a kick to it, but whatever you love, we can’t deny that curry is a national favourite. Takeaway curries are often stodgey and very oily, so if you’re looking for an alternative that is delicious, quick, easy to make and minimal fuss, then you’ve come to the right place. The Hairy Bikers have made the process easy, without compromising on flavour.
We’ve brought together a selection of meat recipes and vegetarian recipes too, from onion bhajis to making a simple chutney. Their inspiration comes from recipes they’ve encountered all over the world, so aside from the traditional curry recipes, they’ve also brought in innovative flavours that create more of a fusion dish.
Perfect as a mid-week dish or for when you’re expecting a crowd over at the weekend, you can make as much or as little as you like to suit the occasion. Guests will be blown away by the authenticity of your dishes and there won’t be a single person at the table left unsatisfied. So, if you’re looking to impress then we’ve got the recipes you need to wow. Guests will be left speechless, particularly if you’ve baked your own naan bread. Now that isn’t something you get to have every day!
Click through to discover some of our favourite recipes from the book, along with the best woman&home curry recipes and moreish side dishes to beat the takeaway this weekend!
