Curry conundrum, curry for a wimp.

Our local does something called Chicken Moni Puri, which is pretty good. No idea what's in it, though.
Most places seem to at least state which ones are hot, medium or mild, though...

Just remember that you can always ask the waiter if they can cook yours extra mild. Even if you went for a biryani or rogan josh then I'm sure you'll be fine so long as your let them know you want it mild.

Special fried rice, chips, chow mein?

What sort of Indian place are you guys going to? xD

Hmm maybe OP can opt to go to a different kind of restaurant. Maybe he should ask them if they would be willing to an Italian for some Ribs or Sushi

But be prepared to hand over your man card with it.

Korma isn't a curry, it's a disgrace.

KORMA
Type of dish: Curry
Place of origin: India, Pakistan
Main ingredients: Yogurt, Cream
Serving temperature: Hot

Korma is just Urdu for 'braised'. It's typically mild in the UK, but there's plenty of firey recipes for it too.

Psymonkee · 13 Dec 2016 at 14:47

go for something like a murgh badami if it's on the menu. Very mild and usually the meat of your choice cooked in yoghurt and cream!

Korma is most certainly more curry than...

Chow mein is alright

Maybe compromise and go for Singapore noodles

I feel like the issue is that the OP is confusing flavour with spicy.

Ooo, I love Singapore noodles! Might be a bit spicy for the OP!

robfosters · 13 Dec 2016 at 19:33

Say what you like about korma, but a well made one has the most beautiful taste.

How about patia? That's like an Indian sweet and sour. Not spicy at all.

I have had some really hot Pathia's in the past, so that's probably not a safe gamble. For mild curries I would always recommend Korma (creamy and coconut) or Pasanda (nutty and fruity) of the two Pasnda is my favourite if I dont' want something hot. Otherwise tandoori chicken is usually mild if you don't want loads of sauce.

Craig1981 · 13 Dec 2016 at 20:35

Oh? The one's I've had have been all about the sweetness. Sometimes too sweet for my taste buds.

How about Makhani? That's pretty mild.

BennyC · 13 Dec 2016 at 20:50

Korma, Tikka, Thai Green etc.

where are you getting your curries from, it should be hot. Its a beautiful curry, but not one for someone who even thinks Chinese chip shop curry sauce is to hot.

A traditional Parsee patia is made with fish cooked in a dark vinegar sauce. The restaurant patia is hot, sweet and sour in equal measure. The restaurant patia grew popular as a starter using prawns as the main ingredient. Many restaurants now offer the patia as a main course as well and give you the choice of a prawn, chicken or lamb version. It is usually garnished with fried tomato pieces.

Just be straight with the person serving, say that you don't like them hot. Chicken tikka korma, with sagaloo and a pilau rice.

Will be packed with flavours and not hot

Pathia is usually spicey and sweet, that's what I go for. I'd avoid it if you agent a fan of heat.
