Captain Patilla
« on: January 15, 2009, 11:55 AM »
Hi, Does anyone have a BIR recipe for Captain Patilla? My daughter says it's the best curry she's ever eaten and it gets similar praise from others on the web, but I can't find a recipe. Only a few restaurants seem to serve it.

Sounds to me like a crime fighter who uses the power of his kneecap to deal with the baddies.  ;D

Never heard of that one but it clearly exists, here's a restaurant that does it: http://www.nazmins.com/orderdirect/menuitems.aspx

It says it includes mint to give a tangy taste so this is undoubdtedly coming from a jar complete with the vinegar it's in. Other than that can't help.  :-\

Yes, it definitely exists - perhaps a family restaurant speciality. Thanks to Secret Santa for the link. I have seen it on other menus on the web, but no recipe details.
