hi buttercup - I used to live in Dubai - '76 to '84. With all the fantastic eating places in Dubai - don't know why you would bother making your own while you are there.
I see you know Ravi at Satwa - brilliant chicken tikka, naan & curry sauce. Their butter chicken is pretty good too. Also try the Khyber Restaurant - near Bur Dubai police station - again fantastic food - their chicken butter boneless & Khyber special veg is brilliant. Kwality restaurant is excellent too. Don't forget to give the lamb shwarmas a bash too - fantastic taste.
I have been back in '93 & 2007 - whilst the food hasn't changed one bit - a lot of Dubais 'old charm' has vanished
