I remember the Aloo Tikki from here and other places in Rusholme. They were good. Note the janky salad. I suppose it's the iceberg lettuce, on a warmed plate it tends to go all floppy.

Relatively new place. Had a look at their menu. Those 3 lamb chops Julian is having cost £10.95. The Fish Amritsar is whitefish, apparently. Most of the curries are around £16.50. They also do chef's speciality Desi Puddings. Stir fried keema, prawn, or chicken livers (with a mint dip) and served in a Yorkshire pudding. Sounds delicious

12 cm diameter. On the small size, but will see how it goes. Glazed inside, so that's good, I think.














So far so good. Froze two. One is in the fridge for this evening. Have some pizza dough (yellow sticker) for the crust, but there is no cheap electric today, so plan B it is. Cling film and microwave. Reckon I'll take the coriander off beforehand. Going to have Shan plum chutney with it. Yummy!

Update with some good news. Shababs will reopen:

Not quite as obvious compared to what I have seen at the TP itself. But the technique is also in use here.

Also nice to see a single portion clay pot biryani again. This time with regular bottled rose water.

Made with Shan brand packet spice. Really good. Tastes just like Laziza. Deep fried after steaming for this one, as it should be. I don't think this step is necessary. Certainly one way of reheating it though.

With lime pickle. The accompanying mint dip is quite obviously a work in progress.
