About

I have savoured the fragrance and taste of curry ever since I was a small child. It was quite a surprise to me when I discovered that curry is based on Indian and not Chinese inventiveness. Here is a vegetable soup which is raised by its seasonings above the ordinary into something rather special; it is the curry which dominates (without suffocating) the other flavours.
