I've made butter chicken a couple times - so delicious, but don't recall if I've ever ordered from an Indian restaurant. Everything posted here sounds delicious. I need to find one.
My order is always something from the following list: Butter chicken Chicken tikka masala Garlic naan Samosa chat Chicken biryani Chicken korma Palak paneer
I don't have access to any Indian places but this thread just inspired me to try make some Lamb Vindaloo tonight. I love curries so I'm expecting big things if I manage to not fuck it up.
I’ve still not been to Kiren’s. I’ve had the chicken tiki Marsala that they sell at central market but haven’t actually ever been to an Indian restaurant. We’re supposed to go with an Indian couple and I’m just going to get whatever they get. There was also a place at the farmers market here in Houston that sold homemade samosas that would make my dick erect but I think they went out of business.
Haven’t really seen it discussed, but Thali is absolutely the way to go, because you get a lot of variety. Also generally a good deal for a big lunch. The servers come around and fill you back up if you really liked anything. if we’re talking specific dishes I like Chicken Tikka
they fucking suck that said, use desktop mode, and make sure you go to www.yelp rather than m.yelp Those bastards don't get to win imo
I pretty much live across the street from a Indian place. /tweet Usually go with a vindaloo, saag, or zap fares I, but trying some of the vegetarian only items for meatless day.
Had Indian tonight. Chaat Papri, Samosas, saag paneer, Channa masala and this grilled chicken app that was delightful. Rice and naan on point
I'm getting Indian tonight now. My favorite food is pizza followed by Indian food (Chicken Tikka Masala/Korma)
In college I worked for an Indian owned hotel. The family lived above the front desk. It always smelled like curry so I did not want to try Indian ever. Luckily my gf changed my mind about a decade later and love Indian food today. Bhindi Masala is by far my favorite which I guess is due to growing up eating fried orca in the South. Hottest Indian I ever had (and really the hottest food overall) was in San Francisco. I only had 4 stars hot out of five but it was way too intense for even a seasoned hot food eater like me.
If you can snag a spot at Gymkhana in London, your mind will be blown. The lunch is a great deal and the kid goat keema is a gem
Usually go with butter chicken or mango chicken from my regular place. Spicy. Nice kick but not insane. Garlic naan for the sauce. This Chicken 65 sounds great. Going to need to find that.
May I be so bold? I don't know what anything is. So I keep ordering the same shit, usually. Then something else. Love it all
From Jonathan Gold: "The various schools of south Indian cooking form one of the great cuisines of the world: mostly vegetarian, intricately spiced, and laced with the flavors of tamarind and coconut, black pepper and cloves, onion, ginger and fermented grains. In big parts of Africa and East Asia, “Indian” food is automatically assumed to be south Indian, and dishes like avial, iddly and utthapam are as common as French fries. Even in L.A.’s Indian restaurants, you are almost as likely to see the lentil doughnuts called vada as you are tandoori chicken, and in Artesia’s Little India neighborhood the restaurants and snack shops compete on the size of their masala dosa, thin crepes rolled around spiced potatoes — some are as long and big around as Louisville Sluggers." "xxxxxxxx specializes in the cooking of Kerala, the strip of southern India that touches the Arabian Sea, a cosmopolitan region, shaped by a thousand years of spice trading, whose food is influenced by Nayar Hindus, Muslims, Syrian Christians and even an ancient community of Jews. Kerala, sometimes called the Spice Coast, is famous for Malabar black pepper — perhaps the best in the world — cinnamon, cardamom and curry leaves, bananas and coconuts. Even if you have eaten in other local southern Indian restaurants, places serving the famous dishes of Hyderabad and Andhar Pradesh, a lot of the food may be new to you: appam, saucer-shaped rice-flour pancakes as pure-white as fried snow; complexly spiced fish curry with undernotes of tamarind and garlic; ven pongal, a peppery concoction of rice lashed with cumin, cashews and ungodly amounts of melted butter. You probably have seen avial, a Kerala-style dish of julienne vegetables sautéed with coconut, which has made it onto many local Indian menus, but xxxxxxxx's version is especially good, luscious but still slightly crunchy, as useful as a condiment as it is satisfying as a main dish." This may not be overly helpful but the topic sent me down a rabbit hole.
Found a place that had it last night and gave it a try. Tasty but wasn't spicy enough. It was my first time ordering from this place though as my go-to Indian restaurant is closed on Sundays so maybe I need to request it hotter. Go-to place makes you choose a spice level when ordering and this one didn't.
Wife made chicken tiki marsala last night. It was good but needed more spices. First run at it so just going to double all the spices on the next go around.
