This will make not going out a positive pleasure At the end of a long day there can be little better than to return home to a ready cooked Korma or Madras with rice or warm Naan breads. The best Indian cookery has always been very slow-cooked. If there was ever a perfect culinary marriage for its recipes, it must be the slow cooker. Slow cooking these recipes develops the flavours. The spices release their essential oils to produce the subtle depths that we so enjoy in restaurants.Of course, the recipes here include some based on pastes to keep your preparation times short. But you will also be introduced to great recipes using fresh spice mixes to blend yourself and learn to re-blend to your own taste. Like curry? This makes not going out a positive pleasure!
