Indian Food

[jennyjoan]

I'd love to hear what yous all like. I have only frequented one Indian but we now have two new Indian restaurants now takeaways.

I like food medium hot. Might order one next week.

I would love to be able to enjoy exotic food, it would open up a massive range of foods to my palate, which is stuck on the level of a five-year-old.

My idea of 'spicy' is HP Sauce, so you can see where my taste for exotic food begins and ends!!

I like steak and chips. I get the steak from Costco at Sunbury. I can't face going down there at the moment though as I don`t want to stand in a queue for half an hour. Good job there's some in the freezer

JJ, try a chicken tikka masala with some sag bhaji, chicken pakoras, naan bread and pilau rice.

Not too hot but very tasty.

I normally go for madras but if I'm not feeling like coping with anything too hot I just have the restaurants simple curry and I ask for lots of sauce. But if I get in the mood anything will do except Kurma, really don't like that. If ever I want something mild I'll go for a Kashmiri. My veg dish of choice is aloo gobi (potato and cauli.)
Also like chicken Tikka Biriyani with a veg curry on the side.
And papadoms with mint sauce or chili tomato sauce - can eat them all night long.

I used to go there, SJ, they do a really nice ready made curry which is as good as a restaurant, chick tikka masala if I remember rightly.
I stopped paying their membership as I was spending so long in France that it wasn't worth it.
Seem to remember they did really good steak pies too.

I don't do spice at all, the most would be korma, but usually if I am ordering for everyone else, I just get naan bread with passander sauce.

You'd like a Kashmiri Pixel, it's got fruity bits in it...

No, you wouldn't.

I've lost count of the times when I was younger when friends would say "Try this, it's not spicy at all …" and I would spend the rest of the evening feeling like I'd been punched in the mouth!

None, I've never had one.

[Tilly2]

Why, Tony?

[tonyav]

Goes back a long time, Tilly. To my youth and part of my apprenticeship in the foundry ( I won't go into detail on here though ).

[pixie374]

Maybe, shoots... I've lost count of times the number of people ask "have you tried it?" Lol. I don't enjoy anything that hurts my mouth when I eat it. Weirdly :-)

I love Indian food and a wide range of Asian and Far East Asian food. Masala Dosa is my favourite dish closely followed by a Thai green curry with Jasmine Rice.

On a par with those in the other direction is a Caribbean mutton curry :o)

[Old_Geezer]

I try to ring the changes with regards to the menu, but avoid the extremely hot dishes. I want to concentrate on the taste, not the excess burning.

Supermarket, 'heat it yourselves' meals are ok, and relatively inexpensive, but you still can't beat professional cooking from the restaurant.

[Old_Geezer]

Well Pixie/Andy, what might be a plan is to go in and ask, "What's the blandness thing of the menu". If you can cope with that, make a note, and next time ask, "What's the second blandness thing of the menu"; and so on. (But be aware different restaurants vary for the same dish, presumably depending on the chef.)

[pixie374]

Tbh, og, we don't get it often enough for me to worry about. I'll stick with passanda, if that's where everyone else wants. It doesn't bother me.
I used to like the curries they did at the Care home, but they were Caribbean ones.
