This book is primarily a collection of recipes focusing on various curry dishes, offering insights into the preparation of these popular meals within the context of English cooking, while incorporating traditional methods from India and Ceylon. The author, a native of Ceylon, aims to demystify curry cooking for an English audience, making authentic recipes accessible
to those wishing to enhance their culinary repertoire. In this extensive compilation, Santiagoe presents an array of curry recipes that range from meat dishes such as Beef Curry and Chicken Moley to various vegetable curries and traditional accompaniments like rice and samball.
