Alright, I'm very angry right now...and I have absolutely no idea why the hell food is popping into my head.

I just had a txt argument with a mate, but, for some reason, all I can think about now is devouring a Chicken Korma.

Simply question, how do you feel about curry? when you visit a curryhouse, what do you eat?

Maybe you could even recommend a place? There are a lot of londoners and liverpudlians here, so recommendations would go down a treat.

If you ever go to Brighton, go to the Chilka House, they do Indian and Goanese food. Their specials are some of the best I have ever tasted.

Chicken Korma Nrangi, which is quite orangey, with pea rice. mmm-mmm-mmmmmmmmm.

Just cheer me up, already. Post about curry.

I love curry's, the Saffron in Balfron is a great place to go out to eat or to get a takeaway from - Balfron's in the middle of nowhere though so no one here will have heard of it (apart from CVD who doesn't come on here anymore).

I usually go for a Chicken Korma but I do like a change some times if I'm feeling adventurous. Haven't found a decent Indian takeaway in Glasgow yet, the one which was just up the road from me has closed down. :(

The best indian restaurants I've seen in the Brighton area tend to be along Portland road in Hove. I Think it's still called the Taj Mahal. They did mega awesome prawn currys and always generous with poppadoms :)

Erm... Curry isn't an angry food for me :P just a nice, rare, spicy treat!

Chicken tikka is so good.

Seriously, it's seemingly straight from heaven.

Whats the alternative, eh? What else would you go there to do...? Deliver the post? :heh:

A curry is always good, whether it be Chinese, Indian or whatever. Hmm, what to have for dinner later...!

I'm not a big curry person. Personally, I prefer Chinese takeaway or good old fashioned fish supper.

What exactly is a curry though (I'm sure I've asked this before)?

I only know the curry sauce I eat with my rice and chicken... which is simply yellow sauce.

*has never had Indian food by the way*

It's generally rice with a meat of some sort and a spicy sauce.

Same here gags ;).

I generally don't like spicey foods, theres only a couple of Indian's in Shetland and 3 Chinese.

No take out pizza (apart from where i used to work at the tattie shop), 3 fish and chip shops.

God I love curry so much. Its made of win, literally win in spicey and ricey form.

I tend to (see;always) have either Chicken Passanda or some variation therof or Chicken Korma. Ie, the other day I had a Pistachio Korma which was very much made from awesomesauce.

If I go out for a meal in a curry house I usually have the same thing meal wise ;

Meat Samosa
Poppadoms (of course)
Chicken Passanda/Korma (as mentioned)
Pilau Rice
or if they sell it
Keema Rice
Aloo Saag (Potato and spinach)
Keema Nan (Used to have Peshwari, but I tried Keema (spicey lamb/mince stuffing) recently and fell in love)

Occasionally Kulfi (Usually if Im with my dad...as A) he pays and B) its awesome)

DROOOOLLL!!!!

Just reading this thread has got my mouth watering.

Chicken Korma is my fave - it's tasty and doesn't burn your mouth out (never understood the appeal of eating curries that cause physical pain).
I also like the occasional prawn dish. Tikka, tikka masala, bhuna and dopiaza are all good too.

If I'm cooking, it has to be Sharwoods Korma with fried chicken breasts, mushrooms, basmati rice and fresh naan. Mmmm.

ReZourceman

10-12-2007, 03:35 PM

Yeah Sharwoods Korma is pretty good, but I find that there are not really any great jar curries...and Ive tried LOADS.

The best shop bought is ready meal Waitrose Passanda. Awesome awesome.

I love Korma. There was this English place in Spain, when I went with High School, and they did amaing kormas.
Then I had a korma when I came home from Spain because I wanted one so much.

When ever I go its always Vegetable Koraii or Vegetable Rogan Josh, a plain nan and vegetable rice. Perfection!

I love curry and try many different dishes but always end up falling back on the old favourite:

Chicken tikka masala, pilau rice, peshwari naan, bombay aloo and of course some popadoms for starters.

YUMS + calorie gain! :D

What do you go for then Bard?

Authentic Indian? Cus that the best stuff in my opinion. The best place to get that is when I go round a friends who's Indian and their mum makes a 'curry'.
Puts everything else to shame it really does.

I have Curries regurley. I normally order Lamb curry, japatae(sp?) or naan, a yogurt and mind dip, a chille dip, and two shishkebabs.

Oh yeh. Sometimes my work mates bring in homemade curry, it's a lot better than whatever they sell a the supermarket or resturants.

I have never heard of someone having a shish kebab with a curry before. I thought a shish kebab was Turkish.

The Indian just down the road from me does the most amazing Vegetable Mughlana. I tend to try a different curry pretty much every time I have one, unless I'm making at home in which case it's this amazing recipe I found once, or a Korma. yum yum.

The replies in this thread make me happy, good to see some fellow curry fans on this forum! :D

I think we should chip in and get Eenuh and Coolness Bears a curry. :)

The Bard: My Mum makes her own currys, and they are spicy as hell the majority of the time. She really loves her chillis, she just piles them in like there's no tomorrow.

11-12-2007, 01:42 PM

I either have a Chicken Tikka Madras or a Lamb Rogan Josh with Pilaw Rice, Bombay Aloo and a Garlic Naan if i go to a takeout. If i go to a resturant, then it will either be a Madras or Chicken Tikka stuffed with Keema along with everything else side-dish wise.

Blackfox

11-12-2007, 06:23 PM

I love curries.. I'll pretty much eat any of them with chicken tikka in them.

Whack a garlic naan and pilau on the side, with baajis. I want one now.. :(

Indian stuff doesn't have to be spicy. When I was young I always used to get a madras/vindaloo as some sort of manly thing but then I realised that it wasn't too pleasant. If you just get a plain curry, or something like a bhuna, or a balti, then it has the same taste but little-to-no fire in the mouth and little-to-no fire in the ass the next day. Or a Korma if you want a different taste entirely.

Standard Indian takeaway for me is Lamb Balti, chips, popadoms and a naan bread. I prefer chips to rice as I'm a scruffy lad from deprived Teesside.

This is how i do it these days now, while all my mates are trying to see who will eat the hottest curry im always ordering from the wierd section of the menu. I make a point of ordering something i've never heard of before when i go out for a meal, it's the best time to try new food!

I always find it difficult not to order a Malayan Chicken Birriani though, thats my favourite curry dish by far! It's got a banana on it! And pinapple! And an omlette! Not spicy, but very tasty.

Best curry house in Shanghai is near to my old apartment. Run by an English-born Indian family, they had just the biggest variety of curries I have ever seen, plus they were ultra-nice to everyone who went in, even the drunk japanese guys.

It's all about the Chicken Madras with Peshwari Naan for me. If anyone is in bournemouth, head to the Westbourne Tandoori House, in Westbourne believe it or not. It has the best Madras ever.
