Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Part of the suggested New Year's Dinner Menu on P615. Can substitute white fish fillets for shrimp; fresh fenugreek for dried; lime zest for dried lime powder; and butter or ghee for oil.

    This a delicious mix of flavors, but was very oily for my tastes. If doing it again, I would slash or maybe eliminate the amount of oil added in step 6 of the recipe.
