Hi everyone - any ideas as to what the following might have been, served up in our local curry house as being cooked "in the Sonar Goan style" and a house speciality - this is from the name Sonar Goan (or Sonargoan) which is an ancient Bangladeshi/Bengali city, nothing to do with being Goan, as in coming from Goa !

it was listed as consisting of chicken, onion, green peppers and green chillies - exactly the same as for their jal freizi, but with the addition of potato, which was served up as part of the dish

didn't include the usual "base sauce", and in spite of the spuds, was a very light dish - the only discernable, individual taste (other than the above bits) was cardamom, and maybe peppercorns and a little saffron (it was a fairly pale yellow colour)

any ideas as to what "standard" dish it might be most like, or derived from ?

oh - very highly recommended indeed - it's the Sonar Goan in Wadhurst, East Sussex
