im a chicken dhansak man myself.sometimes a madras perhaps.
and i also think that a sainsburys "taste the difference chicken jalfrezi" is prob the best supermarket one.try it,there tops!just a little PSA for you there.
prawn biryani, sag aloo, peshwari naan.
Saag.
my local does a special called an afgahni Ghost (Afgan Goat), but its basically a lamb curry with chickpeas, we always get it madras spicy and its deeeeeeelicious!!!
Chicken Hyderabadi - ****stani cuisine at it's finest.
Had a from scratch sweet n sour balti chicken tonight - probably one of the best flavoured curries I have had
Pathia is my favorite, but a Handi Gosht is very good. M_F my pal did a Balti sauce from scratch, very nice, but he said never again, I think it took him a few days p1ss1ng about.
the real thing made by your Indian auntie-in-law :o)
The good ol' Jalfrezi...
lamb karahi..................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Lamb boona. MMMMMMMM. In vast vast quantities, you can eat a good boona forever.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm - a personal favorite.

Got to be fish karahi from the Punjab, Bradford.
Thai Yellow Curry !!!!
Thai, red, duck.
Chicken Tikka Dhansak
1st class!
Chicken Chili Masala. Like a chemical peel for the inside of your mouth. Bloody tasty though.
i always used to have either a chicken chili massala, or a phal if i was feeling brave.
but now ive discovered a ****in goooooorgeous dish at the local that i have every time now. chicken shashlik karaii. nomnomnomnomnom.
Lamb Rezala - there's a good recipe in Rick's latest book
The one thats on my hob now, that I made last night for tonight. We brung some spices back from Goa that simply involve mixing with tomatoes/yoghurt/coconut etc. We got about 5 different types but you can mix em & experiment. Everyone we've had up to now has been luurvely. (i always make them too hot for the missus then she can only eat a bit so there's more for me)
Whichever one I decide to have in Rusholme at the end of of our annual Christmas [s]Shopping Trip[/s] Crawl round Manchester today... 😀
chicken jalfrezi from Jani's, Baildon
supermarkets round here stock the Mumtaz range, which are genuine Bradford curries, (and naans, and samosas, etc), except they're from the supermarket; ALL supermarket own curries are like mildly spiced stews compared. My favourite is the Chicken Karahi.
Mumtaz has a restaurant near Bradford Uni, and recently went into the packaged food business. Liz the German ate there recently. Funnily enough, while I lived round the corner from them back in the late 80s, I never once went to Mumtaz.
Lots of nice choices there, i,m in the mood for one even now at 9.30 in the morning. Whoever put the curry pot noodle up, that's not funny. I love a madras myself and had Murgh chana once that was delicious, never seen it on a menu since or found a recipe for it. 😳
So many to choose from Asia food is the best, why the **** Italian food is rated so high is beyond me.
My home made Kerala Pheasant
A place in Chesterfield does a Shobuz Masala - Lots of green coriander and chillis in the sauce. I hve never seen it anywhere else and it is mega.
For post-ride curry, Delta Curry House (Roseburn, Edinburgh) does a Katmandu MUrgh - Chicken tikka with lentils and just the right amount of chilli poke. Huge portions. Hmmmm makes me wanna ride just to stop off on the way back...
Chicken Jalfrezi here too, generally enjoyed with a keema naan and a lamb tikka starter. Home town of Wolverhampton is fantastic for take away/eat in curry's. NW Germany = not good for curry's. I will definitely be partaking in some curry sampling when i'm back visiting Wolves in January though.
Any curry, so long as it contains a decent amount of chili and a good blend of spices. Anything equal to, or above madras strength, but not quite as hot as a Phal. Thai green curry is great, but i think i prefer the Persian curries you get in your typical Indian restaurant - Tikka Dansak or Tikka Pathia. MMMMMMMM 😆
Lamb Jalfrezzi with a plain naan and pilau rice (after some onion bhajis of course)
Achari - lamb
Curry Hell from the Rupali, Bigg Market, Newcastle 😀
Chicken Dhansak from the Seesh Mahal in Twickenham, the best ever. Infact whenever I'm back that way I always go there..
Kakra Buhna from the Ashoka in Chippenham, crabmeat at its best.....
I used to love a nice Jalfrazi. Then Patak's built the largest curry factory in Europe about half a mile away from my house. Constant chilli smell anyone?
Jalfrezi from Misfala takeaway on Grenville Street, Stockport. Out-****ing-standing!!!!!
[i]Constant chilli smell anyone? [/i]
Mmmmmmmm!
Odannyboy ...quite suprised at your choice cos I thought the "taste the difference "range were so poor at sainsbury's that I took them back and got a refund.
we've tried most of the big supermarket curries and all have dissapointed [u]except M&S[/u] . the quality /taste is so much better.
having said that and spent a lot of throughout Asia , they are nothing like what people eat over there and are made to appeal to the european palate but with an exotic name.
Anything from Rani's Golden Spice in Alva, Mmmmmmmmmmm all good.
might get something from there this evening!
Mmmmmmm curry
chicken tikka south indian garlic masala!! beautiful!!

Anything from the [url= http://www.maharajah.com.sg/outlets.php ]Orchard Maharajah[/url]. The Vegetable Jalfrezi is particularly fine.
Chana Pallak Panneer is pretty nice.
I like a stodgy bitter Dannsak with a peshwari nann or a really good biryani.

If you really want to eat Indian (etc) you need to eat at a restaurant where there are no knives or forks.
[b]If it's full of Indian diners - you're in for a treat.[/b]
This I believe answers your original question.
If it's full of Europeans, it's Indian-food-for-the natives, not Indian food for Indians.
There is a difference.
In the same way that you must use chop sticks in good Chinese restaurants. If your place setting has chop sticks, eat. If not, move on.
In Harrow for example, there are Indian Mess's / clubs. Here you wash your hands and use the Nan bread and your fingers. They are discreet and have no advertising.
If you really like Indian food, ask the local Indian population where they eat out. Your average high street Indian is fine, but don't be lulled into thinking it's the real-deal!
chana,naga and paneer patia
Chicken Tika Pathia with garlic rice and peshwari naan. Must learn to do pathia at home.
I'm quite partial to chicken tarka, it's like a tikka, only a little otter.
IGMC....
I think Gordon Ramsay stated his favorite Indian dish was Chicken Jalfrezie (?).
I'd second that at a high street Indian restaurant.
The best food I've ever had was whilst back packing through Indonesia (Flores up to N Sumatra) over a 2 month period. Vietnamese cooking came pretty close. All the food in China was just dire.
[i]In the same way that you must use chop sticks in good Chinese restaurants. If your place setting has chop sticks, eat. If not, move on.[/i]
Agreed but I went to Hong Kong once. I was taken to an authentic Chinese Restaurant. The food was all fresh, for sure, we knew this because it was alive before we placed our orders. They proved this by bringing it to our table. I'm sure I saw cats being brought to other peoples tables.
Anyway, fresh meat is great but in reality, Europeans like their meat to be 'hung' as it improves the flavour and texture. The chicken I ordered was fairly bland and very limp. No structure to the meat at all. Wasn't impressed.

Just for the record, I had Chicken Sultani at Lal Haweli. And very nice it was too... 🙂
To top it all, my tenant brought home a curry and chips last night; from a Chinese take away.
Where's the logic in anything there?
Mind, he's a alcoholic and thinks pasta's exotic and wouldn't even entertain it nor even rice. He even up and left from a local pub 'cause the menu had French words in some of the dishes!
Had a Naga on saturday, either i got an sti or it was forwards ring sting.
... free, and served in a bucket with an egg on top.
Can't beat a nice Chicken Korma, pilau rice and a naan bread 😀
masala dosa.
had a thali once in aslamabad in gujurat, never topped it despite being a scotsman in a dry state on hogmaany
Another Pathia lover here
I got a recipe from a friend just before christmas for malai kofta.
It is home made paneer mixed with chillis, cumin and coriander, shaped into balls and fried, then served in a lovely spicy tomato sauce.
I made garlic naan to go with it.
THAT was the most delicious curry I have ever had and could have been improved only by being served to me by Trent Reznor and Brian Molko.
Oooh, I'm drooling now and I can't decide if it is the curry or the Reznor/Molko-combo that did it... 😉
the best curry you can have is
Not bought at any curry house.........
Got a few Asian mates & the best stuff is cooked by their wives or moms :FACT:
Hardly ever eat from a curry house these days as I know what it should taste like now.....
the best curry you can have is
Pretty much anything with about 15 pints of ale/lager as an aperitef
just back from the banana leaf in glasgow, top quality south indian food
"moont recomended"
the next one 😆
