This was a new cookbook, a gift from a friend. Lets just say it needs editing. The soup was supposed to include potatoes, but none were listed in the ingredients so I didn't get any. After frying the onion and garlic, it says to remove half, but never tells you what to do with them (I added back into the soup, but maybe it was supposed to go in the meatballs). Coconut milk "if needed" is listed in the ingredients, but never mentioned again. Etc, etc. Glad this was not my first time cooking Indian food.

 

 

 

Would you be willing to name the cookbook?  

 

Last night, nephew wanted to cook a beef massaman curry from a YouTube cook he watches.  Sister and I do not eat beef, so I made us a cauliflower massaman style curry to have instead.  I added some kale to the cauliflower because my CSA saw fit to give me 4 leaves of kale in yesterday's delivery.  Not enough for a group dinner, but enough for this meal.  They also gave me 37 carrots.  You never know what you are going to find in the CSA box!  

 

Nephew also made a lemongrass and curry leaf rice, which was delicious, and a flatbread that was a good idea but turned out a bit tough and chewy.  We all appreciated his effort.  Beef curry

'Indian Home Cooking' by Aiken Coleman. I checked other recipes and found the same problems - mismatches between the ingredients list and instructions, absence of measurements, etc.

 

Still, a thoughtful gift.
