Anything from the Orchard Maharajah. The Vegetable Jalfrezi is particularly fine.

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.
If it's full of Indian diners – you're in for a treat.
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.

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.

Whichever one I decide to have in Rusholme at the end of of our annual Christmas Shopping Trip Crawl round Manchester today…

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
