Curry in the Crown: The Story of Britain's Favourite Dish is a book written by Shrabani Basu.[1][2] It was originally published in India in 1999, and later published in the United Kingdom under the title Curry: The Story of the Nation's Favourite Dish. The book discusses how Indian food became a million dollar business in the United Kingdom.
HarperCollins published the book in India,[1] whilst Sutton Publishing published the book in the United Kingdom. The British version includes a guide to restaurants in the United Kingdom which serve curry.[3]
Reception
Tunku Varadarajan, writing in India Today, said that the history of Indian food in the United Kingdom was a compelling story. However he called Basu's book "shoddily written and mind-bogglingly banal", offering "no anthropological insights, few historical perspectives, no literary conspectus, little sociological research".[4]
Colin Paterson of the Sunday Sun wrote that he wished that the restaurant guide covered the Tyne and Wear area.[3]
