Title: What is your poison?
Post by: tempest63 on January 03, 2005, 09:59 AM
What is your favourite curry?
Do you prefer restaurant style curries or home style?
What dish do you judge a restaurant on?

My own favourite dish must be Rogan Josh, cooked in the traditional Kashmiri way without onions or garlic, not that I am averse to these, quite the obvious in fact, but this authentic dish is superb.

I must admit that my preference over the years has evolved away from restaurant style curries to home style. I think that anyone who cooks curry at home will gradually prefer home style. However two favourite recipe books of mine, 50 Great Curries Of India by Camellia Panjabi and The Bombay Brasserie Cookbook by Urdit Sarkhel take home style recipes and present them for a restaurant dish. These books are essential for any curry lover.

My own restaurant favourite has to be Chicken Dhansak, hot and sour and filling. This must classify as Indian comfort food. I will always have this on my first visit to any restaurant, although some of the more expensive and upmarket ones do not have it on their menus. If however it is there I will have it. If it is good I will probably return and try something else, most likely a house speciality, if it is bad they wont see me again.

My favourite is Prawn Rogan Josh.
I haven't got a recipe for that yet
but I'm working on it.
It's normally garnished with a desertspoon of finely chopped, fried garlic.
If I'm lucky a few fried sliced pieces of tomato too!

Chicken Balti or Lamb Khalia 

But only from my local restaurant  :), their Balti seems to have a more thick spicy taste than other restaurants versions I have tried

Tandoori Garlic Chilli Chicken Starter

Lamb Rogan Josh, Vindaloo hot, with extra garlic and tomatoes.

Pilau Rice, Garlic Naan, Mango Chutney and Onion Salad.

I also have a recipe for the most flavoursome, spicy, tomatoe-y beef curry (That melts in the mouth) that I've concocted from trial and error over the last 5 years. If anyone would like me to share it, then let me know! :)

Hi,  your tandoori garlic chilli starter and other recipes sound great!  I would love to try some of them especially the starter.  So you like hot curries?

Will it matter that it isn't made from scratch? I would really like an opinion on it though...
