Top 3 BIR starters?
« on: February 04, 2013, 10:09 PM »
Well, it would have to be:

1.   tandoori lamb chops
2.   shami kebab
3.   chicken tikka

Be interesting to know what everyone else reckons, be it home made, or takeaway/restaurant. Feel free to elaborate. 

Anyone for the humble onion bhaji in top spot?

Tough call for me that one, so i usually order (and share) a mixed starter for two. A kop out to the question i know.
Stuffed peppers would have to be in there though ;)

Pappadums etc are a given and do not qualify as a starter per se  ;) starters follow.  ;)

Therefore in no particular order
1. Chicken tikka
2. Sheekh Kebab
3. Samosa ( meat or veg )

Not saying they are the best of choices but certainly the most popular around these parts ( and many others ).

IMHO
