[.ca] Curry Secret (ISBN 0716020548)

the secret is in the sauce, and the measurements are correct:
excellent book on curries as they are served in *British* curry houses. I think this is where the confusion with the measurements arise. Someone before mentioned that the measures do not add up: they do add up if you are using British pints (550ml) and read the book carefully (the author mentions at the beginning that a cup is 'approximately a quarter pint or 5 fluid ounces'. If you use these measurements then 3/4pint (412ml), 425ml or 3 cups (3*1/4pint) add up quite well.

Best curry cookbook I've found:
I have tried several books and recipes for curries which usually turned out OK, but they were always more like traditional indian curries than the british restaurant curry I was trying to acheive. With this book I acheived exactly, or as close as possible, the results I was looking for. The curry sauce does take some time to prepare, but if you make a whole bunch of it and freeze it in individual portions, the curries take about 15 minutes to make. Ideal for students as it's cheap and quick. For anyone who wants to make restaurant curries, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It's the best cookbook investment I've ever made. My whole family (who were very skeptical at first) are all hooked on curry now that I've been cooking for them from this book.
