I had it at the 'bengal dynasty' in Llandudno North Wales, pretty much the same except i like to spice mine more and because it was my first curry dish with coconut oil i didn't want to heat too much so the oil didn't cook out and hence not an oily sag aloo although the bengal dynasty's sag aloo wassn't oily either. As for the recipie i followed the spicing in the forums on here for sag aloo, this just seemed to be the basic spices for most sag aloo i could see with other spices added as well according to personal taste. Spices are the rajh brand and about half a teaspoon each for the amount in the wok, prefer to go by eye and add more as cook if needed. Onion gravy was pretty much the same as mick/tazs and pre cooked potatoes added at end with spinach, the resturant always murders the spinach as with most sag aloos i've had. A side note about the bengal dynasty as i can recomend it as probably the best in my town although there are a lot better nearby in neighbouring towns, there are three indians in my town and only this has the bling and atmosphere as what i expect an indian resturant to be like, the other two are a bit tacky decor wise and lack that indian atmosphere. When i get an indian at a resturant if i want the starters, mains and side dishes brought all at the same time i expect to get it, only the bengal dynasty resturant does this, the other two bring starters, clear the plates, wait ten mins then bring the side dishes and a couple of mins later the mains. If i want a feast i want it all in front of me so i can have a bit of everything, dip my naan bread into each seperate dish etc. Is this right of a curry house!
