What's everyone's least fave BIR curry?  So, quality variability aside, perhaps the one you would just not order, or make for yourself more than once.  I thought about a Korma. Not keen on them.  Highly unlikely to make a CTM either, unless the good lady insists; Ex hot CTM is a maybe.   

But the dish I just can not cope with is a BIR Murghi Masala or similar, which invariably consists of a CTM with keema mince and a boiled egg. Yuk!

I can't stand butter chicken. I didn't particularly enjoyed the balti in one of my local TAs due to the excess vinegary sour notes in both times I ordered it, but was not a deal breaker like butter chicken where I had to bin it. I have a very vague memory of dipping a naan in a colleague's achari chicken and not enjoying the flavour much. Achar is definitely on my list to try again though!

This is very odd.  I thought I was a fussy s@d, very set in my ways (particularly when it comes to food), yet both of those dishes I have enjoyed.  With BIR murgh-e-mussalam, I do find it essential to ask if it is made with fresh chicken or chicken tikka, and if I am told the latter I will not order it, but made with fresh chicken it is definitely one of my favourites (now sadly hard to find).  Butter chicken I have always turned down in the UK, for no good reason other than the fact that the description did not appeal.  However, when I ordered it in a cheap Indian cafe in Abu Dhabi it was absolutely superb (as was the mutton masala, but that is irrelevant in this thread).  As to my own hates, CTM is head-and-shoulders above the rest, followed by anything with fruit and most things based on chicken tikka rather than fresh chicken.

anything that has cream in it, they are for wimps/kids.

If I wanted cream I'd order rice pudding or something french.

Chasni....YUK.........or maybe I'm doing something wrong...lol

Anything with Bl++dy Ketchup in it, including Chasni LOL ;D

CTM (although the class of kids I taught recently enjoyed it, too sweet and sickly for my taste buds)

Pathia.  Nice for a chinese sweet & sour sauce-a-like, but it sure don't taste like curry to me

I'll pass on the baby poo, oops sorry, i meant korma  :  Certainly does not appeal to my taste buds. Nor the CTM which can again be rich with cream and butter although having just a hint of tandoori spice about it.  I think the only CTM i'd order would be from Zaman's at Dachet.  Now that was a CTM with a difference   as Natterjak, jb and myself found out . No sight of ketchup and loads of flavour
