Can't decide on a curry!

I'm in the mood for hitting up my local Indian Takeaway tonight. I always look over the menu but always end up choosing Garlic Chilli Chicken with a Keema Naan... I like spice and I'm not worried about trying different things.

What would you recommend or what is your usual dish at the local Indian?

:confused:

Moricha - made with Nagas extremly hot. (Lamb)

jalalee - hot sweet sour plenty of garlic and green peppers (either)

makhani - extrmely mild, creamy(chicken)

Ceylon, coconut poweder, hot (lamb)

Samba - extremly mild, creamy and sweet (chicken)

Pathia - hot sweet and sour (lamb)

Honey tika - mild and honey (chicken)

korai - hot sour, chilies, pickle (lamb)

Thats some of my usuals. I always check out the chefs specials.

I normally pick something that takes my fancy from the chef's specials bit, preferably something I've not had before

Thanks for the suggestions! Moricha I think is going to win.

I tend to go for a jalfreizi, I've tried most things on an indian menu but I like a jalfreizi most times, nice and hot but not so hot you wake up with stomach cramps at 4am busting for the worst **** of your life.

Jalfrezi is never saucy enough for me. You have to have enough rice soaking!

My local indian does it saucy, never had a dryun.

I always go for a chicken Tikka masala but spiced up to about jalfrazi hot.

I like the spice, but i also like a creamy dish, seems like a fair compromise.

There should never be any rice soaking. Rice should stay in the kitchin.
Its all about have several bits of bread to use as utensils.

On the contrary I rather like rice, eating with your hands is difficult if you've got a saucy dish and no rice.

A small amount of rice is good with curry. I tend to prefer to have a minimal amount but none at all always feels a little wrong.

You're doing it wrong.

Man i want a curry now with chilli naan and a paratha or two.

Lamb Pasanda, very mild mind you

dandubi · 27 Nov 2013 at 19:32

The curry went down a treat last night and i have saved a list of some of your suggestions for next time!

I also tried some of my partners Butter Chicken and liked that although it was very mild.

Thanks again.

Varies across the country.

It's the ******* offspring of bangledeshi and british cuisine so it's hardly worth being pedantic about authenticity.

I have also seen 'mosala' and 'mossala' on menus. (as well as mussala from time to time)

Can't decide on a curry!

Can't type for toffee
