He doesn't know the quantities, guess you'll have to suck it and see Barry, sounds interesting though.

Hi Phil,

How exactly do you fry your popadums?

When I put mine in hot oil they curl up like those party whistles and come out (after 3 seconds) soaked in vegetable oil, left on a kitchen towel to dry out, 30 mins later they taste like vegetable oil.

Thanks

Hi bigben,

I think the way to cook a proper BIR Tandoori chicken is with a proper tandoori oven, have you got one?  If not, you'll only ever get close

I know there are a lot of Indian restaurants in Southall including the brilliant 'The Brilliant' but hear me out.... I was recommended "Desi Tadka' by an Indian friend and seconded by another. From the outside it looks like any other Southall cafe/restaurant, for want of a better word, manky, plastic Indian manikins on the forefront, a fella selling food from what looks like a popcorn heater, you get the picture? but, you walk in to 'atmosphere' quite bright, very busy, many Indian family's enjoying a bit of quality time with exceptional food. No china plates, No candles, No Taj Mahal pictures on the wall or back light moving waterfalls and No waiters dressed in black tuxedo's.  In fact the waiters wear Ali Baba style pants with bright waistcoats and turbans, fantastic.

They don't sell alcohol but you can buy a bottle of wine (or two) from the  mini mart next door and bring it in with you, they're happy to supply glasses for you,

THEN.... after quaffing a glass  of white and whilst eating my starter, there was music and three Indian dancers appeared, again in brightly coloured Shari's, making the experience and atmosphere even more exciting. A very good night and I will return.

Do It

For directions please ask

Lol. far too hot for me,

Only joking Rob, it's a hot one.

Next time one of your mates boasts he loves the heat, invite him round for dinner and watch his eyes pop out.
