Lamb Jalandhar From Local TA
« on: June 05, 2014, 07:16 PM »
I've been off curries for a few weeks so, with some trepidation, went for a takeaway tonight. Lamb Jalandhar with plain paratha. Absolutely gorgeous - maybe my love of BIR is returning :)

I have never heard of this dish before and I realise that restaurants/TAs often just make up names for 'chef's special' dishes - Jalandhar is a city/area in the Punjab, I believe. The dish was described on the menu as 'succulent chicken (I had lamb version) cooked in a Punjabi masala - a firm favourite with the staff'.  I have made Stephen Lindsay's Punjabi Masala many times, and it is a firm favourite of mine, but this took it up a little notch. Thicker, spicier and just lovely. Might try to replicate it using Stephen's as a very good starting point.



If anyone has come across a similar dish, advice would be appreciated :)

Could scoff that now Garp :P
Nice to see somebody buy a decent TA curry for a change.

Could be any Red Masala or Jal curry, depending on the Chef/place
Yours looks well cooked and oily, but in a good way!

Had a similar looking dish at the weekend with a tarka of fresh garlic on top
They called it a Jal Jhul Roshun.
Mine was Bengali not Punjabi of course. ;D

That does look nice. I could scoff that right now instead of the insipid chicken drumsticks the missus has left me for my dinner.  :(
