I always order a tandoori mixed grill with a madras sauce on the side and a garlic, chilli and coriander naan 😋 Oh, and onion bhajis to start. I've just polished off what I doggy-bagged from a restaurant last night and omg, it tasted even better today Blush the cat is judging me though

Cauliflower pakora.

isabellerossignol · 25/01/2020 16:04

I've honestly never tasted anything in an Indian restaurant or takeaway that I didn't like. I don't think I could choose a favourite.

Chicken bhuna, tikka or dopiaza depending on mood.

Aloo gobi
Tarka dahl
(Both musts)

Any of the veg, really.

All the breads! Grin. All SO good, but if I’m indulging, a stuffed paratha.

Mushroom saag or a saag paneer, dinner decided Smile, thanks Op!

Potatopia · 25/01/2020 16:09

Dosa!

Taddda · 25/01/2020 16:10

Ooo and extra mint dip with salad/ veg/ crunchy anything...

FleetwoodMacMummy · 25/01/2020 16:13

I'm boring, I always get a chicken tikka Madras with pilau rice and a plain naan bread. Sometimes if I'm really pushing the boat out I will also get saag aloo/ Tadka Dahl and vegetable samosas/chicken pakora.

Nonstopbuttmachine · 25/01/2020 16:16

I can cook a mean curry but have never mastered perfect tandoori chicken; this stuff last night just melted in my mouth. Perfectly cooked, tender and slightly charred (with the lovely crispy onions 😋)

Saag paneer, peshwari naan. And I love a good onion bhaji. I quite enjoy uttapam and dosa too, but those are harder to find.

iklboo · 25/01/2020 16:19

Onion bhaji
Chicken tikka rogan josh
Plain naan

TheDarkestChild · 25/01/2020 16:20

@Potatopia

Dosa is heaven! The restaurants near me are all Bangladeshi / Pakistani so no dosa in sight, but I occasionally travel to another area to a South Indian restaurant and indulge in dosa. I really want some now!

AgeLikeWine · 25/01/2020 16:22

I love Gujarati vegetarian food, despite not being a veggie. Masala dosa is one of my favourites as is chilli paneer.

LiveRightNow · 25/01/2020 16:24

@notstopbuttmachine - trick to tandoori is long marinade and high heat. (Like traditional tandoors) . You've really made me fancy a curry now though... which is evil as my local curry house isn't open for another 2hrs...

NamiSwan · 25/01/2020 16:24

I'm a big fan of veg dhansak or pathia, tarka dahl, garlic naan and pilau rice. and onion bhaji!

Mandarinfish · 25/01/2020 16:25

Prawn puree
Mild chicken dish (eg korma, biryani) and rice
Plain naan

LiveRightNow · 25/01/2020 16:25

Ooh and I love a dhansak or dosa or really good lamb chops, or Goan fish curry mmmmmmmmmmmmm

ShivD · 25/01/2020 16:27

Paneer Masala, or any paneer curry.

ShivD · 25/01/2020 16:28

Or maybe a masala dosa.

TeddyIsaHe · 25/01/2020 16:29

Lamb shatkora. I’ve found the restaurant that does the best one and they start writing my order as soon as a I go in now

It’s delicious.

Nonstopbuttmachine · 25/01/2020 16:33

@LiveRightNow I've tried the long marinade but never seen to get the cooking right! (grilled in the oven and ends up a bit dry) I have a George Foreman grill so maybe I should try that? Confused

Have you heard of a book called The Curry Secret Nonstop? I couldn't believe the taste!

It is a bit of a ffaff but so delicious once you've cooked it.
